The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

The Silent 242

Chapter 242

The officials-who had already been on edge-turned pale with terror.

Everyone in Bortenland knew the Prince Regent's reputation. Nolan wasn't just a war hero; he was a walking execution order. The moment he reached for his sword, the crowd of officials fell completely silent, not daring to breathe too loudly.

Just then, the doctor Nolan had summoned rushed in, quickly checked Eliza's condition, and let out a breath of relief.

"Your Highness, please rest assured-Her Grace is only suffering from a chill combined with fatigue from the journey. Nothing serious"

Nolan immediately handed over the prescription Eliza had written herself. "Check this. Should the medicine be changed, or

it still be used?"

CHUL

The doctor took it with trembling hands, scanned through it carefully, and shook his head. "No need to change it. The prescription is well-balanced. I'll simply add one herb to speed her recovery-she should wake soon after."

Eliza nodded. "Alright"

The second Nolan heard her voice, he strode to the bed in a flash; knelt beside her, and leaned in anxiously.

"Still dizzy? Does anything else hurt?"

Eliza shook her head gently. "I'm fine. Thank you, doctor. No need to adjust the medicine-just brew it according to what t prescribed."

Nolan gave a short nod. "All right."
