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"

“Elizar” Gabriel barked. "Are you really set on cutting ties with the Stonor family?"

Faced with his fury, Eliza simply sneered and said, "Like I said-thank you for your blessing, Father"

Gabriel's face darkened, his expression downright terrifying. For a moment, fear flickered in Eliza's heart-she had rarely seen him like this. But even so, she refused to back down.
