At that time, the people outside didn't know that Sophie was an illegitimate daughter, and the old allies of the Padilla family didn't know what Eliza had experienced in the Stonor family.

All they knew was that, at some point, someone had begun secretly targeting them. They started with the Baker family, the Fletcher family, and then the Stevenson family. Even Dale wasn't spared.

One by one, the Padilla family's old allies died. Even those who survived were no longer in any position to influence anything

Prince Regent was around back then too.

But he hadn't been treated by Eliza in that timeline and hadn't received the Bloodshade Blossom. Hence, he couldn't suppress his illness for long. Eventually, due to violent outbursts during his madness, and with Gabriel rallying the civil officials to attack him politically, the Prince Regent was imprisoned and eventually "died of a sudden illness" in jail.

Because of this, Duke's estate grew overwhelmingly powerful in the previous timeline. He could do whatever he wanted.

But this timeline was completely different.

Eliza was reborn, requested to leave secular life and become a Holy Lady, defied her father and brother, exposed Sophie's illegitimate status, and cured Nolan's illness.

Step by step, she unveiled Gabriel's true face, protected herself, and even preserved the Baker family.

Now, within the entire imperial court, Gabriel no longer had the final say. But Sophie didn't understand.

In her eyes, her wonderful father had refused to make her the legitimate daughter all for the sake of some mere heir.

So now she wanted all the children of the Stonor family. She wanted to use them to take revenge on her "dear father," to make sure he would have no descendants.

"They betrayed you. What does that have to do with Rafe?" Eliza asked as she looked at her.

Exactly! What the hell does this have to do with me?' Rafe thought to himself.

Standing to the side wearing a mask and not recognized by Sophie, Rafe stared wide-eyed in frustration.

Sophie, still unaware that the person in question was right there, sneered coldly. "He returned to Duke's estate at just the wrong time. And he's also my father's illegitimate son. If the legitimate sons are all dead, my father might even make him the heir. So, he has to die too!"

Eliza was speechless for a moment. She then realized what Sophie said could actually be true.
