    As the former butler of the Padi family. Mki was naturally sharp in certain aspects. Having vaguely sensed Eliza''s attitude, he handed her something when she was about to depart for Saint Grace Nunnery.


    He said, "Miss Stonor, I was born and raised in the Padi family, and when I die, I wish to die for the benefit of the Padi family''s bloodline. So please ept this item. Please grant me the honor to die for you.


    Mki thought, ''I may be old, but so what? I can still give myself a second life. I''m doing this for the Padi family and Miss Stonor.''


    Eliza looked at thebor contract he presented.


    She lowered her eyes slightly. "Mki, have you thought this through?"


    Mki looked back at Scecrest Manor, his eyes filled with longing. Then he looked back at Eliza, just as he had looked at his former employer all those years ago, and said earnestly, "I have thought it through. I will only serve the Padi family. Although Benedict and the others are of Caroline''s blood, they are not members of the Padi family. But you. Miss Stonor. are different. You are a member of the Padi family."


    ''There''s no need for choice. There had only ever been one, Mki thought.


    Eliza raised her brows and took hisbor contract. "Very well. In that case, I''ll be in your care. Mki. I don''t have many people with me, so I''ll have to trouble you with everything."


    Mki''s face broke into a wide smile as he watched her put away thebor contract. "Rest assured, Eliza. From now on. I will take care of everything for you."


    He called Eliza by her name instead of calling her "Miss Stonor" and decided she would be thest person he would ever


    serve.


    Renee, standing to the side, looked at Mki with


    envy.


    ''How wonderful,'' she sighed. ''I also want to be someone who serves Your Grace. If only Your Grace would ept me as a servant, I could be Your Grace''s maid. But Your Grace refused.''


    Renee, who felt sad, bit on her handkerchief, her eyes downcast as she looked at Mki.


    Seemingly sensing something, Mki swept her another nce.


    Eliza gave a few more instructions before leaving Scecrest Manor, but it didn''t mean the matter of the herb fields ended


    here.


    To be more precise, her revenge had only just begun.


    Now that they had caught the thieves at Scecrest Manor, they naturally turned to dealing with the Withered Root Poison in the herb fields. After assigning the men, Mki arranged the second task Eliza entrusted him.


    As he ordered people into action, Mki couldn''t help but praise inwardly, "How wicked."


    "This move of Eliza''s is even more infuriating than what Matthew and Anthony did,'' Mki thought.


    He wondered how grand the scene outside the Duke''s estate would be tomorrow morning.


    While they were making arrangements on this side, the people on the other side were still in the dark.


    Inside the Duke''s estate, Matthew was sitting in Anthony''s courtyard, focusing on shaving a branch with a dagger in his hand.

    He had been to Anthony''s courtyard frequently in the past few days, but they didn''t say much to each other.


    With their business concluded, they turned to their affairs without another word. They only spoke again when they thought of something, just like now.

    As he shaved, Matthew suddenly said, "The man returned yesterday. Eliza should


    know the news now. I wonder how angry Eliza would be after knowing this. She


    might even be crying from anger.


    Matthew sarcastically curled his lips as he said thest sentence.
