The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

“Who’s causing such a commotion outside the Duke’s estate?”

“Get lost, or don’t blame us for getting rough!”

One of the guards, gripping a club, stepped forward aggressively to drive them away. But in the next instant, Diana’s bodyguards unsheathed their swords with a sharp sound, the blades gleaming coldly.

The guard, who had been full of bluster moments ago, froze in shock. He instinctively stepped back and gulped. “Do you even know where you are? How dare you draw weapons outside the Duke’s estate?”

Diana stepped forward, her sharp gaze cutting through the guard like a blade. “Are you deaf, blind, or just plain stupid? Can‘ t you understand what I said, or even recognize my face?”

Suddenly, the head guard seemed to realize something. His expression shifted, and he quickly stepped forward in fear. “My apologies, Miss Baker. He’s new and doesn’t know better. He hasn’t had the honor of meeting you before. Please forgive him. I’ll go inside and announce your arrival right away!”

He hurriedly pulled his fellow guard back, forcing him to pay her respect.

“At least you’ve got some sense,” Diana said coldly. “But I don’t have the patience for formalities today. Skip the announcement. Drag that bastard Matthew out here right now!”

“Y–Yes, right away!” The two guards hurried inside to notify the gatekeeper, who recognized Diana.

Peeking out, the gatekeeper was startled. “What the hell? Why is she back all of a sudden?

“Oh no, don’t tell me she’s back to settle scores for Lady Eliza!”

Everyone in the Duke’s estate, even all of Hasen City, knew how inseparable Eliza and Diana used to be. If Eliza wasn’t visiting the Baker family, then Diana was at the Stonor estate. The two had been glued together since childhood, their bond as close as sisters.
