He strode over, scanning the room quickly before his gaze landed on Dylan, sprawled unconscious on the floor.

Judging by the horrified expressions of the nuns, Nolan immediately put the pieces together. "Did this Stonor brat break in and attack Serenity?"

Serenity was Eliza's religious name. Ever since she told Nolan she was no longer Lady Eliza of the Stonor family, he had never called her that again.

Mary's expression was ice-cold as she nodded. "Several nuns saw it happen. He barged into Saint Grace Nunnery, tried to kidnap the Holy Lady, and beat her senseless."

Though her voice was calm, the fury beneath it was unmistakable. She gently lifted Eliza into her arms.

Before leaving, Mary shot Dylan a look of pure disappointment. "He's not just disrupted our peace-he's severely harmed the Holy Lady.

"She's unconscious, and we have no idea when she'll wake up. If this delays the upcoming blessing ceremony for the country, who will take responsibility?

Prince Nolan, I expect a thorough investigation and proper punishment Otherwise, I won't let this go."

Mary may have been a nun, but that didn't mean she had to accept injustice in silence. If she couldn't protect the nuns in her care, she had no right to manage this nunnery.

Nolan's gaze hardened as he looked at Dylan. I understood. You focus on the Holy Lady-Ill take care of this,"
