The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

Chapter 716

Feigning deep thought, Eliza raised her glass and took a silent sip, her eyes drifting sideways to steal another look at the grinning Prince Regent.

Hundreds of miles from Hasen City, at the very spot where the Nevill family was ambushed, the once-proud inn lay in ruins, reduced to charred ashes by a raging fire.

Two days had passed, yet bloodstains still remained in the area, the air heavy with the scent of violence.

The corpses of assassins and death warriors were left in the wilderness, abandoned and forgotten. No one paid them any mind.

The only ones who cared were the ravenous wild wolves.

Just as the wolves were feasting hungrily, the sudden crunch of approaching footsteps echoed through the air.

The pack of wolves raised their heads in unison, then bared their fangs in a menacing display as they sought to intimidate the uninvited intruder.
