Penulis: Summer's Blaze
Carissa interrupted, "You mentioned that the performance troupe was repeatedly disrupted a few years ago. How exactly were they disrupted? Did she say anything about it?"

"Yes, some scoundrels smashed up their equipment. They bought replacements several times, only to have them destroyed again. It made Lucas so furious, he was nearly foaming at his mouth."

"When did this happen?" Carissa pressed.

"She said it was five years ago, and it went on for about six months."

"I see. Make a note that Eleanor might have visited Stonebridge County five years ago, or she could have sent someone there," Carissa instructed Jacob.

Jacob nodded. "Thank you for reminding me, Your Grace. I was so focused on Ms. Spencer's story that I completely forgot we still need to investigate Grand Princess Eleanor's so-called rescue."

Jacob had never been so careless before. He realized he was too excited this time.

Violet continued, "After the performance troupe disbanded, everyone scattered for a few months

  • Her Graceful War Song   Chapter 1625

    This was the first real trial in Thomas and Rosalind's marriage.The sweet days were suddenly mixed with bitter medicine.Such a matter required Thomas to make a decision. When he received the news, he hurried home without delay. He didn't even stop to greet his mother and went straight to Rosalind's room.He came back cold from the snow, with flakes resting on his shoulders. After shivering for a moment outside, he warmed his hands by the fire before daring to hold her.His voice broke as he said, "Why didn't you tell me you were ill? You must never do that again. If you feel unwell, you must tell me at once."With his return, Rosalind felt steadier and more at ease.But when Thomas saw how thin she had grown, tears filled his eyes. "I've let you suffer. It's my fault. I have not taken good care of you."As she laid her head against his chest and listened to his strong heartbeat, the worries and sadness of recent days slowly began to fade."I'm the one who has troubled you. Yo

    Thomas didn't make many promises or say exactly how he would treat Rosalind. He only said that from now on, as husband and wife, they would work together and live their days in harmony.On their wedding night, Rosalind felt a little nervous. When the curtain of the bridal chamber was drawn, she found herself trembling for some reason.Before she left her family, her nursemaid had told her what to expect on the wedding night and how to be with her husband. Though she was shy, she listened carefully and thought she understood it all well. But when the moment truly came, she didn't know what to do. Her whole body trembled with nerves.Luckily, Thomas was very gentle.Rosalind's nursemaid had said the wedding night might not always be a pleasant experience for a young woman, but if she could endure the first few days, everything would get better. Still, she felt her nursemaid had not said everything. The closeness of their bodies, the meeting of their souls — she found that feeling ver

    Rosalind had learned these things quite by chance. And with that first sudden feeling of love, she grew to think even more highly of Thomas' noble character.She was of age to marry, after all. How could she not have dreamed, now and then, of the kind of man she might one day wed? Yet, those dreams were often just illusions. But when a real man appeared alive in her thoughts and dreams, she knew he was the one she wanted to marry.At first, her grandfather was against it. Besides the difference in their ages, Trevor thought about how Thomas had already been married before. Though Rosalind would be his lawful wife, she wouldn't be his first.She was the granddaughter of the royal chancellor, famous throughout the land. Many noble families in the capital sought her hand. Why, then, would she choose Thomas? He was just a soldier returning from battle, with no certain future.But Rosalind was determined, so Trevor had no choice but to yield. This was the only time in her life she acted

    Though there were clearly three of them sharing the tea, Elise felt as if only the couple was truly eating.Inside one of the small meat pies, there was mostly fat. Rosalind did not care for fatty meat, so Thomas carefully picked out the fatty parts one by one and handed the rest to her.With her small appetite, if Rosalind ate a whole pie, she would have little room left for anything else. So, after she took a bite, Thomas took the pie away and offered her a prawn puff instead, as well as gave her a bite of a stuffed cabbage roll."Your stomach is weak, too much meat won't sit well. When the bread pudding comes, just have a little," he said.Elise put down her spoon and rested her chin on her hand, watching them.Her own parents were loving too, but her mother didn't fuss much over food. When the three of them ate together, they all ate quickly. Carissa often reached for what she liked first, leaving little chance for Rafael to offer her a bite.Yet, at palace banquets or other

    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
