Her Graceful War Song Chapter 1621
The merchant ship docked, and Thomas led Elise and Selene ashore.On the way, Elise asked, "Did you come alone this time? Did the boys come with you?"Thomas smiled. "They didn't, but Rosalind did. We've been here for half a month, staying at Hearth Inn. This time, I came on your father's orders—partly to investigate the bandits and pirates around Port Liantra, partly to see if you had arrived safely. I also took it as a chance to take Rosalind out for a bit. The academy is on holiday for the New Year, so it was easy enough for her to take leave for a month or two."Elise brightened. "Ms. Young is here? That's wonderful! Please take me to see her quickly."Rosalind had been Elise's first teacher when she studied at the academy. She was clever but restless, never able to sit still. During her studies, she had been sent to Meadow Ridge several times, but was returned each time. Finally, she stayed at the academy until she was seven years old before trying Meadow Ridge again.Whether

After the New Year, goods were to be sent out through the Pearl River, and the docks had begun to grow busy once more.Southsea County was well known for its fine silks—luxurious, highly sought-after fabrics. In the past, merchants would always report to the authorities ahead of time when shipping such goods, and officers would be stationed nearby to keep watch, in case of thieves.However, as there had been little sign of bandits over the past year or two, some merchants, wishing to save time, began skipping that step. Arranging for guards would take at least a day or two, which meant they would have to delay loading their ships.Thinking there was no danger, they simply gave orders to load the goods straight away. But no sooner had the merchant ship left the bay than it was met by five or six tattered old boats. From them sprang a group of rough-looking men, who threw hooked ropes toward the merchant ship and began climbing aboard at once.At the same time, a small fishing boat p

Bertram had thought the Duchess of Southmere was still young and inexperienced. He assumed the young lady she brought along was just a maid, and she had no advisor by her side. He believed it would be easy to make his move.He hadn't expected her to be a tough opponent.The petition to build the warships had been submitted a long time ago, yet no reply had come. They were growing quite anxious.In recent years, the court had been willing to spend money freely on the military. At first, Bertram thought this matter would be easy to settle. But now, after such a long delay, it seemed far more difficult.A duchess' estate had been built just like that, without hesitation. So, why all this fuss over a few warships?Bertram did feel some resentment, but he was a practical man. There was no point in forcing what could not be changed, and offending others would bring no benefit. He thought it might be worth trying a different approach—perhaps this path would lead to some advantage for the

While in Rosevale, Elise and Selene made the acquaintance of several local peddlers who wandered the streets with goods for sale. It was something unique to Southmere Eastmarch.Most of their wares were toys meant for children. Elise claimed she was too grown-up for such things, but in truth, she adored them and purchased two especially charming miniature griffin heads used for griffin dances.In Southmere Eastmarch, griffin dancing was a beloved custom. Whether for the New Year or any joyful occasion, one could always hire a troupe. During Elise and Selene's time in Rosevale for the New Year festivities, things were particularly lively, with griffin dances all through the streets. The merriment was so grand, they found themselves utterly captivated.After the New Year, Elise wrote letters home, sending one to the capital and another to Meadow Ridge, then continued on her journey.They arrived in Port Liantra in February. The weather was neither cold nor warm—just right.Elise fir

The next day, Elise and Selene wandered around Victory Pass, enjoying themselves. Cindy had arranged for someone to guide them, but Elise declined, saying she preferred to explore at her own pace.Victory Pass was now a town where two kingdoms met. Their cultures blended together, offering so many new things to see that the two young women were almost dazzled. Some snacks from Orivenia could even be found in Victory Pass.While wandering, Elise came across an embroidery workshop called Skye Embroidery and found it rather curious. She had seen embroidery workshops all over, but only the one in the capital went by the name Skye Embroidery. How was it that this town had one too?Curious, she asked Cindy about it when she returned. Cindy explained that this Skye Embroidery was a different one, founded by Viola as a way to raise funds. Unlike the one in the capital, this one was simply an embroidery workshop; women could either work there or at home, bringing their finished pieces to sel

And so, the two young ladies set off on horseback toward Victory Pass.They had become fast friends. When Selene first arrived at the Pathfinders Guild, she was shy about eating too much, but Elise kept filling her bowl with food.Selene had said that she was used to hard times, and now every day felt like a sweet dream.Elise had laughed and replied, "Well then, let's make sure this dream lasts a lifetime."Their journey was slow, with no rush to reach their destination. They took their time, stopping to enjoy the local food and customs at each place they passed through. They even attended a few weddings, laughing and having fun along the way.By the time they reached Victory Pass, it was the middle of winter, and snow was falling heavily.Elise went to visit her great-grandfather first. Though Dominic's hair and beard were white, he was still full of energy. When Elise bowed respectfully before him, he smiled, his face lighting up with joy."You've made me wait so long! I knew
