    But given the circumstances, there had been no other choice. Both she and Diana had made their decisions for each other''s sake, and neither had any regrets.


    "You''re too kind, Your Highness and Your Grace. I''ll make sure to pass on your kind words. His Majesty and Her Majesty will surely be delighted and look forward to weing you tomorrow."


    After James and the others left, Nn turned to Eliza and asked, "Do you want to ay in Hasen City to rest, or head back to Saint Grace Nunnery right away?"


    The Padi family''s residence has already been prepared, so if Eliza feels too tired, she could stay there for the night.


    What Eliza didn''t realize was that Nn wasn''t talking about the Padi residence at all.


    Someone''s little schemes were bubbling up, eager to test the waters whenever the chance arose.


    Unfortunately, Eliza was as oblivious as ever,pletely missing the hidden meaning in his words. She simply shook her head earnestly and said, "It''s been a while since I''ve been back. Mary''s probably been worried sick. I should return to the nunnery soon to put her and my senior sisters at ease."


    “Alright, I''ll arrange for some people to escort you back." Nn felt reluctant, wishing he could spend more time with her. But he hadn''t been back to the Prince Regent''s residence in ages, and the pile of matters waiting for him there was likely


    endless.


    Not just now-he''d be swamped for the next few days. So, he had no choice but to send someone else to apany Eliza.


    Eliza didn''t mind this arrangement at all.


    But someone else did.


    "Wait, sis! Where are you headed? Can Ie along?" Rafe suddenly popped his head out, wedging himself between Eliza and Nn.


    Eliza pped her forehead. ''Oh no, I''d almost forgotten about this guy!''


    "Of course you can''te with me." Eliza declined.


    Saint Grace Nunnery was a ce for nuns. Rafe was a boy, and even though he was still just a kid, it wouldn''t be appropriate for him to go there.


    Eliza was debating whether to send him to the Padi family when Nn suddenly reached out and grabbed the young man by the cor, his tone calm butmanding. "You''reing with me. I''ll arrange a ce for you to stay."


    Rafe didn''t quite agree.


    But before he could even open his mouth, Nn''s sharp gaze pinned him in ce. "Not an option. Even with Eliza vouching for you, it doesn''t mean the danger you pose is gone. So, you''ve got two choices."


    Rafe swallowed nervously, his voice trembling. "W-what are the choices?"


    "Option one:e to my residence and behave yourself under my watch. Option two: I cripple you right here and now, leaving you barely alive. Your call."


    He didn''t want either of them!


    Rafe, who only wanted to stick close to Eliza, cursed silently in his heart.


    But knowing he couldn''t possibly take on Nn, he had no choice but to reluctantly agree to the first option.


    To be honest, Eliza felt a sense of relief at this arrangement.


    After all, as Nn had pointed out, the threat Rafe posed hadn''tpletely disappeared.


    Someone needed to keep a close eye on him.


    Initially, Eliza had nned to ask Tina to handle this, but she hadn''t expected Nn to step in on his own.


    Under Nn''s watchful eye, Rafe would undoubtedly behave himself better. Still, this meant troubling the Prince Regent once again.


    Eliza made a mental note to check her savings when she got back. Besides the wedding gift she had already prepared for Diana, she''d need to prepare a proper thank-you gift for Nn as well.


    While Eliza was lost in thought, Nn had already dragged Rafe off without giving him a chance to resist.
