Eliza's tone was cool, her gaze edged with mockery. "Anthony, did you already forget what you just said? If you truly believed you hadn't wronged me, why would you come all the way here to apologize and beg for forgiveness? Sounds a little contradictory, don't you think?"

Anthony narrowed his eyes and replied, "When you suddenly became a nun, Father, Sophie, and Benedict were all worried sick. As your brother, naturally I was worried too. I only used a bit of trickery to bring you back to the Stonor family-and now that I think about it, it might've been too much. That's why I came to apologize."

"A bit of trickery!" Eliza laughed, incredulous. "If you really saw me as your sister, you wouldn't have used that kind of trickery on me."

"It was just some powder to make you more obedient," Anthony said, utterly unrepentant. "It wasn't poison. I didn't try to kill you. You're overreacting. And besides, didn't you already get your revenge?"

Eliza didn't even dignify that with a reply. Instead, she turned her head slightly. Tina."

At her call, a shadow appeared behind Anthony before he could react. Eliza's voice rang out, calm and chilling:

"Strip her. Let Mr. Bradford have a good look."

"Yes," Tina answered coolly, already drawing her blade.

"Stop her!" Gabriel snapped, lunging forward and dragging his son away just in time.

Though Anthony narrowly avoided losing any limbs, Tina's blade still grazed his arm-leaving a deep slash and sending a jolt of cold panic through him. His already pale face turned ghost-white.

Gabriel gritted his teeth. "Are you insane, Eliza? This is the front gate of Saint Grace Nunnery, your sacred place of ordination! You dare spill blood here and desecrate the holy ground?"
