“Any thoughts on who might’ve sent the assassins to the Light Show? Nolan asked casually as they headed back to Saint Grace Nunnery.

Eliza thought for a moment before replying. “Not many people want me dead, just a few usual suspects. It’s either someone from the Duke’s estate or those mysterious figures backing Sophie. I’m leaning toward the latter.

She recalled what Tina had mentioned earlier about the enigmatic expert guarding Sophie’s courtyard. If assassins were involved, it was almost certain they were connected to that mysterious figure.

But Nolan interrupted her train of thought. It wasn’t just one group.”

“Hm?” Eliza turned to look at him, confusion flickering in her eyes.

“Among the assassins tonight, two of them moved differently from the others, Nolan explained, his tone calm and steady.

Eliza’s eyes widened in surprise. You mean, others were targeting me?”

“Not necessarily you. Nolan replied, his voice even.

Then_?” Eliza hesitated, a sudden thought flashing through her mind. Her brows furrowed as she asked, “Were they after you?”

Her face tightened with worry, her voice softening as she asked, “Do you have any suspects!” Eliza threw his earlier question back at him.

Nolan chuckled lightly. “Not yet. Honestly, there’s no shortage of people who’d love to see me gone.

Eliza watched his calm expression and felt her nerves ease. She thought, If Nolan isn’t worried, why should I be! After all, Prince Nolan has faced countless enemies over the years. What are two assassins compared to the battles he has endured?”

Anyone bold enough to attempt an assassination while Nolan was traveling with Serenity deserves to be skinned alive.

Before long, the men Nolan had sent out to investigate returned.
