Aria knew Louisa was asking with a purpose and played along, showering her with flattery. "Even the Holy Lady can't compare to you. The Holy Lady may be divine, but you-you're an angel from the heavens. How can mere mortal beauty ever compare to yours?"

Louisa replied, “Hmm, well said. I like that."

Louisa nodded, clearly satisfied.

She had seen Eliza's portrait, but it only struck her as pitiable at best.

But in terms of beauty? Eliza didn't even come close to her own appearance.

Louisa was confident that no matter what relationship Eliza had with Prince Regent, it posed no real threat to her.

As long as Prince Regent saw her once, he would be hopelessly captivated.

Louisa smiled to herself, pleased with the thought.

Just then, the carriage came to a sudden stop.

The coachman reported, "There are dozens of disaster victims blocking the road ahead. They seem to be heading toward Centrina City."

Louisa, still adjusting her hair in the small mirror, asked indifferently, "Are there any young men and women among them?"

"Five or six," came the reply.

"How old are they?"

"There seems to be a pair, a man and a woman, around the age of twenty, and the others are a bit older."

Louisa raised an eyebrow, set down her mirror, and smiled, calling out, “Aria."

Aria immediately understood and sighed inwardly.

She turned, stepping down from the carriage, signaling the guards as they headed toward the group of victims. Thirty minutes later, the victims remained, but the five young men and women were nowhere to be found.
