The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

642.Chapter 642

Before Nolan's return, Magnus had always been at odds with Godfrey. Taking advantage of his youth, Godfrey constantly restrained him with royal traditions

and

laws.

Magnus had long wanted to get rid of him. But ever since his uncle's return, that sly fox had kept his head down and didn't dare make a move. And thus, Magnus hadn't found a chance to deal with him-until today.

The opportunity was handed to him by the Holy Lady herself, complete with the perfect excuse. How could he not be pleased?

"Godfrey," Magnus said coldly. "You've truly disappointed me. Though not for your achievements but for your effort and years of service, I will allow you to return to your hometown in honor, together with your family, and live out your days in peace."

Godfrey dared not utter a word. Had it not been for the words "together with your family," he might have spoken up to defend himself. After all, he had given years of loyal service to the royal court. 'No achievements? How could that be true?' he thought.

Clearly, the King had found a reason to undo all his accomplishments-his son, who had recently gotten himself into trouble.

Knowing that his youngest and favorite son would be spared from further consequences, Godfrey had no choice but to accept the outcome.

At that moment, Nolan spoke coolly, "Godfrey, before you go, make sure your family arranges a divorce for your son and daughter-in-law."

Eliza, who had been about to say the same thing, glanced at Nolan in mild surprise, then fell into thoughtful silence.

Last night, a sealed letter had been left at the gates of the Padilla residence. There was a sharp knock on the door before a figure vanished into the dark.

Her venomous bugs had initially followed the messenger. However, the person didn't just slip away but left the city entirely, moving farther and farther away as if afraid of being caught. They didn't stop for even a moment throughout the night.

In the end, the pursuit had taken them so far that her bugs had no choice but to return. Though the messenger's whereabouts remained unknown, the letter turned out to be very helpful.

Its contents were brief, with only a single sentence, "Allies of the Duke of Mowbay."

Beneath that was a list of names, and one of them was Godfrey Jones.
