After that, Eliza locked Dylan inside the pocket farm and stepped out into the courtyard.

"Tina," she called, "go send a message to the Prince Regent for me. Tell him I need a favor."

It didn't take long. Nolan arrived not long after-alone, galloping in on horseback. Less than an hour later, he was standing in Eliza's courtyard.

"Serenity. I'm here," he said..

At that moment, Eliza was still in her small kitchen, preparing dinner. Her cooking skills weren't anything special-no elaborate feasts-but she could manage a few simple dishes. Since she was a nun, all her meals were vegetarian.

"You came quickly," Eliza said from the kitchen. "Go sit at the stone table outside for a bit. I'll be out as soon as I finish these two small dishes,"

She had taken sacred vows-meat was forbidden to her. Everything she cooked was strictly vegetarian, crafted with care and quiet devotion.

“No need,” Nolan replied. “Til help. Is the fire in the stove hot enough? Do you need more wood?"

Even if it was just a humble veggie meal, Nolan was genuinely delighted. This was, after all, the first time he'd ever tasted food made by Eliza herself.

"You've never had my cooking before?" Eliza blinked in surprise. "Oh-right, I remember now. That time I made spaghetti, it ended up going to Gilbert."

The moment the name left her lips, Nolan nearly snapped the firewood in his hands.

"Gilbert?" he repeated, his tone a shade darker. "That outsider ate your spaghetti?"

"Yes," Eliza said casually. "I made it to lure him in so we could interrogate him for intel"

She didn't notice that Nolan was already drowning in jealousy.

It's fine, he consoled himself bitterly. Just a bowl of spaghetti. And she only made
