Eliza understood this all too well. But even with two lifetimes of meal preparation nothing could seadette for the sight of so many charred remain By the tthey reached Caslig County, the carriage was stopped at the gates by acoge of soilies But the moment the guards saw Nolan's unmistakable silver hair, they straightened and stepped aside with respectful di "Your Highness-it's been too long Just then, another rider emerged from within the city-tall, lean, and formidable, seated atop a masse steed. One fa gripped the reins, the other rested on a long broadsword. Despite the lines of exhaustion exched across a face he still retained a trace of rugged charm Nolan raised an eyebrow. "You cto meetin person? That's rare Judging by your fare, you haven't slept in days Be careful-you keel over, and I'll have to take over your command." Kane gave an exasperated snort. "You cheeky bastard. Cto Noganlul just to steal my military aborty, didn't you Wel don't get your hopes up I'm in better shape than you'll ever be. I could go another ten days without sleep and still outin you. Don't believe me? We can settle it right now His hand twitched against his sword hilt, eyes gleaming with challenge.

Nolan waved him off. "Relax. If you can still stand, you a u can keep your mess. I've got enough to handle" "Mess? What mess? I've got this entire county under control! Kane barked Nolan offered no rebuttal.

Kane was just about to put up again when he suddenly slapped his forehead "Damn. I got so distracted I forgot- Holy Lady's still in the carriage, isn't she?" He turned toward the carriage just as Eliza stepped down.

Chapter 217 Eliza smiled, composed and graceful. Tve long heard of Mr. Valencia's nam -it's an honor to finally meet you in person" Kane blinked. And then just... stared.

"By the gods he murmured. They say the Holy Lady chosen by the King is like a goddess descended-beautiful and kind.

I didn't believe it at first, but now that I've seen you, I admit, the rumors don't do you justice" Eliza blinked, momentarily stunned.

But when she saw the genuine admiration in his expression, she felt her cheeks warm with the faintest flush. Thankfully, Kane didn't push the flattery any further, and they quickly turned their attention to business. "Those herbs you sent the past two days-they really work. Where'd you even find something like that? Can you getmore?" Kane jumped right in.

Nolan shook his head. "They weren't mine. The herbs were brought by the Holy Lady from Hasen City Kane turned back to Eliza, surprised. "You brought them?" Eliza nodded. "Yes, they were from my stores. But I'm afraid I don't have any more. I grew them myself, and I brought everything I had." Kane's hopeful look fell instantly.

But Eliza continued, "Fortunately, the majority of the herbs were sent directly to Caslig County. As long as your people have been using them as I instructed- mixed sparingly into the regular medicinal supply-they should be enough to last." She hadn't cto Caslig County first precisely because she wanted to give the herbs tto take effect. The more critical the region, the more potent and concentrated the spiritual water she had applied.

Caslig County had received the strongest batch-most of it nearly undiluted. So by now, the herbs should've fully taken hold.

And judging by how eager Kane had been to ask for more, it seemed they had. "But one or two herbs per pot? That's hardly enough!" Kane was still skeptical He didn't understand that the true efficacy lay not in the herbs themselves-but in the spiritual water they carried.

Eliza simply smiled. "One per pot is plenty. Truth be told, my herbs are grown using a special method. M They're far more potent than anything you'll find in the market. Sare even incredibly rare. I'm sure you noticed." The content novelenglish.net! on Kane had noticed.

He had nearly dropped dead from shock when he saw the pile of freshly harvested medicinal mushrooms ant En supplies At the time, he'd been ready to accuse Nolan of burning through the royal disaster relief fund just to buy miracle herbs But the physicians told him those medicinal mushrooms were newly harvested- fresh, flawless, and, most importantly, powerful.

Herbs like that weren't something you could buy, not even with money.

Without them, Caslig County ty would've lost hundreds more lives over the e past few days.

So the first chance he got, Kane had tried to poke around, hoping Nolan would spill where he'd sourced them.

His gaze toward Eliza changed.

Instantly, it carried more respect-and el more than a little awe.
