The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 631

631.Chapter 631

Soon, a graceful figure stepped into the palace.

“Your Majesty, Your Grace, I pay my respects,” Raisa said, bowing properly. After the king gestured for her to rise, she lifted her head, her gaze sweeping over Diana and the king seated at the top of the hall. Her lips curved into a polite smile, but her eyes carried a trace of disdain.

‘So they think I’m here to compete for the king’s favor and challenge the future que? What a joke, she thought, her heart filled with scorn.

‘Honestly, I’d rather that so–called ruler of the realm never set foot in my palace.‘

Her entry into the palace was nothing more than a ploy to irritate Diana, and she had no choice but to comply under Fletcher Henderson’s pressure.

Since arriving, she’d stayed in her quarters, avoiding any interaction with others.

Luckily, Diana had no interest in seeing her either.

So, even though Raisa hadn’t gone to pay her respects, Diana hadn’t sent anyone to trouble her.

The two had managed to keep their distance and coexist peacefully–until now.

To everyone’s surprise, Raisa woke up early today, had herself dolled up, and headed straight to Diana’s palace.

Her sudden actions left her personal maid, Mandy, stunned. For a moment, Mandy even thought their mistress had finally decided to stop slacking off and start vying for the king’s favor.

As they made their way to Diana’s palace, Mandy Willow was practically brimming with excitement.

After all, as the chief maid of the imperial consort, it was her duty to lead the charge when her mistress decided to compete for the king’s attention, no matter the cost.

But then, something completely unexpected happened.

Raisa entered Diana’s palace, gave a polite bow, and then… simply sat down.

Yes, she just sat down! Quietly, without saying a single word.

Mandy, who had been convinced Raisa was here to compete for the king’s favor, was left speechless. ‘Wait, what?‘

While Mandy remained clueless, both Diana and King Magnus knew exactly why Raisa had come.

And Diana’s expression turned sour.

‘You’re already in the palace, so why aren’t you chasing the king’s favor? What are you doing meddling with Liza? ‘And dressed up like that. What’s your deal? What are you scheming?‘

Diana was so furious she wanted to storm over and grab Raisa by the collar to demand answers.

But, of course, that was out of the question.

So all she could do was glare daggers at the woman sitting below.

She thought, ‘If you had even a shred of self–awareness, you’d know you’re not welcome here and leave already!‘

But Raisa was clearly the type who lacked any sense of self–awareness.

‘Why should I care if you don’t want me here?‘ she thought.

Raisa didn’t spare Diana a single glance. Propping her chin on her hand, she lazily turned her gaze toward the palace doors, as if the queen’s fury was nothing more than background noise.

“Don’t worry, everything’s fine,” Eliza replied with a helpless smile, trying to reassure her. “It was a bit of a close call, but I actually gained a lot from it. Totally worth it!”

Diana, however, wasn’t convinced. “You always hide the bad stuff and only tell me the good news. I later found out that Woteria had both a snow disaster and a rebellion. If I’d known, I would never have sent you there in the first place.”

The thought of it still made Diana shudder.

She never knew Woteria would be so dangerous.

A governor and a century–old noble family, conspiring with foreign forces to rebel!

If Nolan didn’t bring the Black Flag Army with him, she wouldn’t even want to think about what could’ve happened.

“Thank you for this. Grandpa and Father told me everything after they returned to Hasen City. If it weren’t for you, they might not have made it back at all…”

Gratitude filled Diana’s heart, but it was quickly overshadowed by a pang of guilt.

Her decision had put Liza in harm’s way, forcing her to face the chaos in Woteria before finally making it back to Hasen City.

“Diana, we’ve been like sisters since we were kids. Grandpa Baker and Uncle Baker practically raised me. No matter what, I‘ d save them. And if it were me in trouble, I know you’d do the same, wouldn’t you?”

“Absolutely!” Diana replied without a moment’s hesitation.

Eliza’s lips curved into a gentle smile. “Then there’s no need for you to feel guilty.”

As Eliza was comforting Diana, a flicker of movement caught her eye. Turning slightly, she saw someone in lavish robes strolling over, a sly smile playing on their lips. “Liza, well, well, look who it is! Bet you didn’t expect to see me here. Thrilled, aren’t you?”
