376.Chapter 376


    Eliza couldn''t help butugh. "Alright, then I''ll trouble you to pass along my thanks to His Highness."


    After Ross left, Eliza quickly returned to her small courtyard with the letter and token in hand.


    "Who sent you the letter? And why do you look so... off?" Diana asked curiously as she poured Eliza another cup of coffee


    "It''s from His Highness, the Prince Regent. Eliza recounted the entire incident to Diana.


    Diana''s eyes widened in disbelief. "Wait, are you serious? Why does it feel like he is being unusual... attentive to you? Isn''t he supposed to hate women? I swear I''ve heard that somewhere.


    Eliza thought for a moment before replying, "Maybe it''s because we''re friends."


    "Friends?" Diana looked skeptical


    Eliza gave a vague exnation. "I helped him with a few things before, so our rtionship naturally improved, and now we re friends."


    "That''s it?"


    "What else could it be? Do you really think someone as powerful as the Prince Regent, second only to the king, would have anything to do with a little nun like me?" Eliza shot her a calm,posed look.


    Diana frowned, scratching her head in confusion.


    No matter how she thought about it, something still felt off.


    But Eliza''s exnation seemed perfectly reasonable.


    In the end, Diana couldn''t figure out what exactly was bothering her..


    Diana soon found herself too busy to dwell on these thoughts.


    Eliza, having already seen through Gabriel''s schemes, acted swiftly. She sent Tina to contact Padi, instructing him to spread the word before the Stonor family could make their move.


    "By the king''s grace, Holy Lady has received a Snow Lotus! To share this blessing with everyone in the new year, the fifty worshippers to light candles at Saint Grace Nunnery tomorrow morning will receive a bowl of Snow Lotus beauty soup,


    first


    lovingly prepared by Holy Lady herself."


    The moment this news broke, nobody cared about the Stonor family trying to spread rumors about Benedict being on his deathbed and wanting to see Eliza. It waspletely drowned out!


    The nobledies and young misses of Hasen City, especially those who regrly visited Saint Grace Nunnery to light candles, were absolutely thrilled


    "Snow Lotus! It''s really Snow Lotus!"


    "And it''s the one gifted by the king! No way it''s fake?"


    "If the Snow Lotus is real, then the beauty soup must be real too, right?"


    "Of course it''s real! But the best part? Holy Lady personally made the Snow Lotus beauty soup!"


    "Oh my goodness, if I drink a bowl, do you think I could look as stunning as Holy Lady?"


    "Hal Keep dreaming! With your looks, even ten bowls wouldn''t make a difference! Nowadays, quite a fewdies in Hasen City were devoted supporters of Eliza. Even those who once misunderstood Eliza havepletely changed their minds after witnessing her actions in Plutonville and Noganlul


    Scheming, narrow-minded, and consumed by jealousy? Seriously?


    If Eliza were truly that malicious, would she have gone to disaster stricken areas


    to pray for rain or to que-ridden regions to offer blessings?


    The proof of her sincerity was written in the faces of those she''d saved in Plutonville and Noganlul.


    They practically worshiped her as a celestial being sent to save them all.


    Clearly, Holy Lady was misunderstood in the past! She''s not this kind of person with a malicious heart! Jealous? A proper heiress like her- who would she envy? Jealour Sessfully unlocked!ghter? Please, as it?


    Back then, they were blinded by rumors and colunk


    family was an illegitimate child, thedies of the inner courtyards quickly pieced everything together,


    Cu me main puc unce they learned that Sophie from the Stonor


    Calling Eliza narrow-minded and jealous? That was clearly the illegitigate daughter projecting her own ws-spreading rumors, ostracizing the rightful daughter

    Sophie even manipted the foolish men of the Stonor family into bullying Eliza, driving her away. And even after Eliza became the Holy Lady, Sophie continued to scheme against her at every turn!


    Sophie was the truly malicious onel


    Once thedies of Hasen City learned the truth, their previous disdain for Eliza instantly transformed into overwhelming sympathy and admiration


    As soon as Eliza''s news spread, the next morning, even before dawn, the area outside Saint Grace Nunnery was already packed with people


    Camages clogged the streets, with no ce to park.


    The crowd was overwhelming-forget fifty people, there were hundreds crammed together, and more kept arriving. Five hundred? That might even be an understatement.


    The usuallyposed and gracefuldies hadpletely abandoned their dignity. All for a bowl of soup, they were now shoving and shouting like it was a free-for-all


    "Move! Everyone, get out of my way!"


    "I was here first! No one is allowed to take my spot!"


    "Ridiculous!! was the first one here!"


    "Oh! Who knocked off my hairpin?"


    "Step aside! Make way for mydy!"


    The scene outside Saint Grace Nunnery was nothing short of chaos.


    By the time Gabriel arrived with his men in a hurry, forget stopping Eliza-he


    couldn''t even get close to the entrance!
