The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

Chapter 46 Chapter 46 The revelation left Eliza completely stunned.

She could hardly believe it. "You- you're saying you are the Sage of Poison, huh?" Mary raised an eyebrow and gestured calmly. "We believe in God. We don't he' Bortenland had two legendary medical experts. One was Lawrence, the Sage of Medicine, rumored to bring people back from the brink of death. The other was was the Sage of Poison, a master of both healing and toxins.

Even Eliza, who had spent much of her life confined indoors, had heard of their names.

of the two, the most mysterious was the Sage of Poison. No one had ever uncovered their true identity.

And yet here the Sage of Poison was-sitting across from her. No one would have thought that the clusive Sage of Poison was actually a Reverend in a quiet, unassuming nunnery "Are you really going to teachabout poisons?" Eliza asked, eyes full of hope. "You're not happy about it, huh" Mary quirked an eyebrow.

"Of course I am!" Eliza could barely contain her excitement. "I just never imagined I'd be this lucky." Not long ago. Nolan had told her to find someone truly capable of teaching her about poisons. She never expected that the Sage of Poison had been right beside her all along. It felt like stumbling upon a hidden treasure.

"Don't get 100 excited," Mary said, tapping Eliza's forehead lightly. "When it comes to poisons, I'm strict. For now, you'll start by learning medicine. And before anything else, you need to take an oath." Eliza blinked. "What kind of oath?" Mary's expression turned serious. "You're a nun now. You pray daily. That means y means your first and most important rule is never to take a life. If you want to study poisons, you must swear never to use them to kill or harm the innocent." Eliza fell silent, thinking carefully. Then she met Mary's gaze and said firmly, "I understand. I did think about using poison for revenge, but now I know my position." Things were different now. She had left the Stonor family behind and taken on the role of a nun-of course, it had started as an excuse, but she now had responsibilities to uphold.

She couldn't let down the people who had helped her, especially the king and Mary.

Taking a deep breath, Eliza solemnly declared, "I swear to follow your teachings and never use poison to kill or harm the innocent" Her revenge would still come, but she wouldn't use poison to kill Pouson wasn't just for taking lives. It had many y uses. She would learn both medicine and poison. And when the tcame, she would decide the best way to get justice.

"Good" Mary nodded in approval. "After the blessing ceremony. Ill begin teaching you? "Thank you" Eliza said with a grateful smile.

With Nolan personally overseeing security, the blessing ceremony went smoothly.

After so many days, the Stonor family finally saw Eliza again.

Dersed in the solganin robes of the Holy Lady, she stood atop the high blessing platform, leading the nuns of Saint Grace Nunnery in Her your was clear and steady as she recited the blessing prayers. The way she carried herself-calm, composed, and devout-captivated the prayer.

For the firu tsince the king had granted her the tide of Holy Lady, the world finally saw her for who she had become.

Someone in the rowd murmured. "His Majesty really knows how to pick them" Many silently agreed. It wasn't as if they had never seen Eliza before-back when she was still the daughter of Duke of Mowbay.

Yer now Watching her today, standing with such poise and dignity, they couldn't deny it— the king had seen something they hadn't. Looking at her now, it almost felt like she had been born for this role.

As long as Eliza continued to behave and pray for the nation, they could accept her as the Holy Lady.

Unaware of the shift in public sentiment, Eliza had no idea that she had already won them over without saying a word-just by standing there.

"Uncle Nolan, look. The Holy Lady I picked isn't bad, huh?" The king smirked, glancing at the stunned expressions of the officials and commoners below. He looked increasingly pleased with Eliza.

After all, all he had done was give Eliza an opportunity-the rest was up to her. And so far, she hadn't let him down.

"You certainly have a good eye, Your Majesty Nolan nodded, offering a well-timed compliment

He had witnessed firsthand how hard Eliza had worked. The blessing ceremony required her to recite nine blessing prayers, all from memory-no reading allowed was a daunting task, and that was why she had been visibly anxious about it. Fortunately, with Mary's help, she managed to memorize all nine prayers in time. "It's a shspeople get even more blind with age: The king chuckled, his gaze sweeping over the Stonor family with a faint touch of mockery Everyone from the Stonor family was y was present-except for Dylan.

Gabriel remained expressionless, his eyes cold as he watched his daughter on the platform.

Benedict and the others wore conflicted expressions. Even now, they struggled to accept that their sister was really standing there as the Holy Lady. But what struck them the most was that Elza never once looked their way.

She was their sister, their family. Yet, standing up there, she felt like a stranger- distant and untouchable.

"Dora Elizare really want to leave us? Benedict finally seemed to understand a bit of Eliza's true feelings. But he couldn't accept it.

"Don't be ridiculous: Matthew scoffed, "She grew up pampered. There's no way she can actually handle a nun's life"

Anthony nodded in agreement.

"Exactly. Don't worry, Benedict. Just give it stime-shell srunning back once she realizes how hard it is" But Benedict wasn't so sure. His brow furrowed with worry. Is that really true? Will she really cback? he wondered.

Suphur, nouring Benedicts unease, narrowed her eyes and linked her arm with his. "Benedict, I know you'ren worried about Eliza. Why don't I talk va her later: We couldn't see her before, but now that the ceremony is over, maybe I can convince her to chome. But inside her thoughts were anything but kind. 'I really underestimated that bitch. She has His Majesty and Prince Nolan backing her, and she's rven swayed Benedict's heart. Looks like I'll have to cup with a new plan! After the ceremony, Eliza changed out of her formal robes and prepared to return to Saint Grace Nunnery.
