When Dn was driven out of Saint Grace Nunnery, he was still clutching a package of medicine.
It was for treating external injuries.
Dn held the package of medicine tightly. As he turned to leave, he heard Benedict''s voice. "Dn!"
"Dn!"
Benedict had not seen Dn for a day, and he could not believe how disheveled he looked.
He snatched the umbre from the page''s hand and strode over to Dn''s side.

After pulling him under the umbre, Benedict reprimanded him, "What have you been doing these past few days? Why can''t you discuss things properly with me first? Look at you now, talking back to Father, running away from home, disappearing for a day without bringing anything. You''re beingpletely unreasonable! Do you think you''re still a three-year-old child?"
"I didn''t run away from home."
Dn calmly corrected Benedict''s words. "I didn''t run away
from home."
Benedict tried to persuade him, "Don''t be silly. Do you really want to give up being
a member of the Duke''s estate and be amoner?"
Dn hugged the medicine in his arms and smiled. "What''s wrong with being amoner? Benedict, you don''t have to persuade me. Since I have left the Stonor family, I will not go back."
Benedict did not expect him to be so stubborn. Just like Eliza back then, he wouldn''t listen!
Benedict was also determined. He said, "Fine, since you insist on staying out, I won''t force you. But father has said that if you want to break off rtions with the family, then don''t even think about using a penny from the family!"
Since Dn was so stubborn, he would let him suffer.
Only when he knew how hard life was outside would he regret it and obediently go home.
Thinking this, Benedict''s face darkened as he told Dn what their father had said.
But what he didn''t expect was that neither Eliza nor Dn would regret after they decided to leave the Stonor family.
Eliza was driven by disappointment, and Dn by pain.
Everything he had done to Eliza in the past was now torturing him like retribution. The Duke''s estate was hell for Eliza, and now Dn felt it, too.
All he wanted now was to follow Eliza, even if it meant just watching her from afar,
"I understand." With that, Dn turned and walked out from under his brother''s umbre, clutching the medicine.
Benedict called out to him again, but this time he did not follow. "Dn..."
Only muchter, when Benedict had lost everything, did he feel boundless regret. He regretted every decision he had made.
He hadn''t stopped Eliza from entering the nunnery or persuaded Dn to return home,
Dn hadn''t taken anything with him when he left the Duke''s estate.
However, he still had a priceless pendant on him.
Dn didn''t intend to exchange it for anything, because it was a birthday gift from Eliza.
Of course, he''d had many birthdays, and naturally, Eliza had given him many birthday gifts.
It was just that those were all still at the Duke''s estate.
He only took out this a few days ago when he missed Eliza, and he had been wearing it ever since.
Dn clenched the pendant. This time, he had a goal in mind and was no longer as lost as before..
He walked down the mountain and turned to the vige at the foot of Mount Westin, which was a little closer.
He traded his expensive clothes for two sets of cheap ones and some money.
The vige outside Hasen City was neither big nor small.
Some were naturally willing to exchange with him.
Dn then bought a small piece ofnd at the foot of Mount Westin and began his goal of protecting Eliza.

"He really ns to build a house at the foot of the mountain?"
Eliza frowned slightly when she heard the news. "He really ns to build a house
at the foot of the mountain?"
Mary said helplessly, "Yes, I was just saying it casually. I didn''t expect him to actually start doing this for you."
Eliza pursed her lips.
She didn''t like to hear that, especially about Dn leaving the Duke''s estate.
She didn''t know what Dn was thinking, and she didn''t want to know.
In short, whether he regretted it or acted on a whim, it had nothing to do with her.
She had alreadye this far. If these people suddenly regretted it and wanted to make it up to her, her revenge would be a joke.

Eliza took a deep breath. "Mary, don''t say anything to him anymore, especially about me."
Mary said hurriedly, "Serenity, I''m sorry. I didn''t consider your feelings..."
"No, Mary, I understand. You didn''t do anything wrong, so you don''t need to apologize."
Eliza forced a smile. "By the way, I just remembered that the herbs on the back mountain need watering today. Mary, why don''t you have a seat here while I go fetch some water?"
After saying that, she got up and walked to the door, picked up the wooden bucket, and headed for the back mountain.

Mary watched her leave in a hurry and couldn''t help but follow her to the door. But Eliza was too fast, and she was gone in a
sh.
Eliza hadn''t even reached the herb garden when she couldn''t help but bite her lip and cry.
In fact, she understood everything.
Mary and her mother were old friends. Mary took care of her because of her mother, and naturally, Mary would care about her siblings because of her mother.
Besides, it was not just anyone.
They were children of the same mother, so it was normal for Mary to care about Dn. She could understand.
However, her heart still felt so heavy.
She wondered if it was because she was
Arrow-minded.
Eliza clenched the bucket in her hand, a look of bewilderment on her face.
At this moment, a cautious voice sounded behind Eliza. "Serenity?"
Eliza turned her head, quickly wiped the tears from her face, and smiled. "Tina, what''s wrong? Did something happen?"
Tina rarely showed herself in front of others. Generally, when she appeared by her side, it was because she had some news to tell her.
So at this moment, seeing Tina appear, Eliza thought that Tina had something to tell her.
But Tina looked at her face, hesitated for a moment, then gently shook her head. "It''s nothing, it''s just... you seem to be in pain."
Obviously not very good atforting people, Tina panicked for a while before carefully asking, "Do you need me to stay with for a while?"
