The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

The Silent 246

Chapter 246

"Truthe Holy Laaddy!

T's really her! It's Holy Lady Serenity!"

"Thank the heavens Mr. Valencia really brought her here!"

A wave of disbelief turned to overwhelming joy. The quarantined townspeople,

pale and feverish, lit up like dawn breaking through fog

"Holy Lady" someone sobbed from the crowd, "we're infected... can we still be saved?"

"You can,” Eliza replied firmly, her gaze steady as it swept across every desperate face. "This plague isn't unbeatable. As long as you follow the instructions, cooperate with treatment, and don't give up-there is hope."

"Thank you. Your Grace!"

"Thank you, Holy Lady!"

One by one, the infected dropped to their knees. It wasn't desperation-it was reverence.

Startled, Eliza immediately tried to rise, wanting to stop them.

But behind her, Nolan gently pressed down on her shoulder. Take it," he said softly. This faith... belongs to you."

Eliza froze, then turned and looked again at those kneeling before her. In their faces, she saw something flicker back to life- hope.

For a long moment, she said nothing. Then she turned forward again, closed her eyes, and resumed her chanting.

Her voice-calm, ethereal, and unwavering-rippled across the infected zone like the wind through prayer flags

Everyone within earshot-patients and guards alike-was swept into the solemn peace of her blessing.

When Eliza finally left by carriage, some townsfolk who had just arrived too late stood outside the gates, disheartened.

"She's already gone!"

"Damn... I just missed her."

But then someone noticed something odd.

"Hey... why's it so quiet in there today?"
