Chapter 29

The Black Flag soldiers brought over a chair, and Nolan sat down casually. "Lord Mowbay, relax," he said. "My men are seasoned veterans. They've killed countless enemies on the battlefield.

"They know exactly when to draw their blades. As long as you and your sons don't interfere, no one will get hurt.

The message was clear-if Gabriel or his family tried to intervene, Nolan's men wouldn't hesitate to act.

Gabriel had always known Nolan to be ruthless, but he hadn't expected Nolan to be this brazen in Duke's estate.

Nolan glanced at Eliza, who had stopped in her tracks. His tone remained calm. "Is that what you want?"

Eliza didn't hesitate. "No. Becoming a nun and praying for the country is my own choice, and I won't regret it"
