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?
