The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

The Silent 251

Eliza had no idea what kind of chaos was unfolding within the Stonor family at that very moment.

They didn't depart until the last of the infected had recovered and the epidemic across Noganlul was fully under control.

As they prepared to leave, Kane personally came to see them off, finally finding a free moment after being swamped with logistics for days.

"Your Grace, don't forget those two shipments of medicine I ordered!" Kane reminded eagerly.

Eliza chuckled. "Don't worry-1 haven't forgotten."

The carriage slowly began to roll out of the county gates.

Exhausted from the past several days, Eliza turned away from the view and was about to lower the curtain to get some rest. But just as her gaze swept over the distant burial site near the road, something caught her eye.

There, among the ash-gray remnants of the mass grave, lay a body.

Eliza's first thought was that it must be another poor soul who didn't survive and had just been brought out for burning. But the next second, the "corpse" moved- barely, but unmistakably.

Her heart jolted. But when she looked again, there was no more movement.

'Am I just seeing things?' she wondered. Maybe she was too exhausted-maybe she was hallucinating.

Still, the nagging feeling wouldn't go away.

As the carriage drove farther, Eliza couldn't help but glance back. This time, what she saw made her heart skip a beat.
