The Silent 639

639.Chapter 639

When Eliza proposed the deal, Rafe didn't immediately agree, which caught her off guard.

He studied her face for a moment, then said with a slow, deliberate tone, "So, I hear you're planning to change your sumame, sis?"

Eliza nodded calmly. "Yes."

Rafe raised an eyebrow, a playful glint in his eyes. "Well, congratulations are in order then. Once you change your surname, you'll finally be free of the Duke's estate. How could I not do you this favor?"

'Favor? Not a deal? Eliza's gaze sharpened slightly. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Rafe's lips curled into a sly grin. "Oh, nothing much. Just saying, if I ever find myself in dire straits, I hope you will do me a favor too. What do you say?"

Eliza couldn't help but feel that Rafe was up to something, judging by the glint in

his eyes.

Sensing her wariness, Rafe added with a casual shrug, "Don't worry, sis. I promise it won't be anything that puts you in a difficult position. Just... a small favor, that's all."

Hearing this, Eliza thought for a moment before nodding. "Alright, I can agree to that, as long as your so-called 'small favor doesn't interfere with my current plans."

"Of course not. I've already said, you can rest assured."

Rafe liked Eliza, his sister, very much, so he would never get in her way.

With the deal settled, Eliza returned to her quarters, determined to rest and gather her strength for the trials awaiting her

tomorrow.

Tomorrow was a pivotal day-a high-stakes battle where even the smallest mistake could lead to total defeat.

The night passed swiftly.

The next morning, Renee helped Eliza into her ceremonial gown.

This gown had been a gift from Nolan.

Back at her coming of age party, she hadn't had the chance to wear a gown of her

own.

Though Nolan later gifted her this one, it couldn't make up for the moment she had missed.

But that was fine. Today was the most important day since her rebirth.

She wanted to wear this gown to celebrate her new beginning and mark her

success.

"Your Grace, everything is ready! Wishing you a triumphant day and all your dreams fulfilled!" Renee said with a bright smile, her curtsy impeccable.

While Eliza had been away, Renee had worked tirelessly!

With Malaki's guidance, she had made remarkable progress in a short time and had become an outstanding maid.

She had always vowed to become the best maid by Eliza's side!

Even if Eliza didn't want her, she'd cling to her for life, no matter what!

"Thank you, Renee. Let's go," Eliza said calmly, her determination clear.

Soon, a discreet carriage rolled out of the Padilla estate, bathed in the soft glow of dawn as it headed toward the Imperial Palace.
