Chapter 679

Author: Summer's Blaze
Henry emerged from the dungeon of Harmony Palace, dragging his heavy feet toward the side hall where Eleanor awaited him.

After meeting Carissa and learning about their plans, he shared them with Eleanor, which gave him the opportunity to visit the dungeon. He managed to bring some food and clothing for Melanie Lester, and even took her on a stroll in the courtyard outside the dungeon.

However, informing Eleanor of Carissa's plan meant he had already abandoned Carmen.

Henry had no choice but to proceed this way. Initially, he had been forced into the situation, but now, he was in too deep to turn back. The Marquis of Grovehill's family and Eleanor's household were tightly intertwined, leaving Henry with no option but to obey Eleanor's orders.

As he entered the side hall, Eleanor dismissed those around her with a wave of her hand and said coolly, "Have a seat."

Henry sat down. "Thank you, Your Highness."

Eleanor sipped her coffee, and said nothing. Henry didn't say anything, eith

  • Her Graceful War Song   Chapter 1627

    The birth was not easy.The baby gave Rosalind a hard time for five long hours before he was finally born. At first, he didn't cry. The midwife had to tap the soles of his feet a few times before he burst into a loud wail. The moment he cried, everyone's hearts settled once more.Thomas had been so tense with worry that when he finally relaxed, his vision went dark and he fainted.Elise gasped. "I heard about that before. Mr. Jacob told me that Mr. Thomas once fainted in the delivery room and everyone teased him for it for a long time."Rosalind smiled. "Yes, it's true. He was made fun of because of that. The baby in this story was indeed Alaric."She went on to explain what happened after the birth. Because he was premature, Alaric was weak and often fell ill. He took medicine nearly as often as he took milk. Thankfully, by the age of three, he had grown stronger and begun training in martial arts to build his strength.The second child came much like Elise did—it was fate. Afte

    Rosalind sighed."If Thomas had not been by my side during those days, I don't think I could have survived. If you ever marry, you must find someone who truly loves you. Only someone who loves you will protect you through the storms of life," she said gently.Elise smiled. "I believe in love. Mom and Dad love each other."Her home was warm with love, and her life was full of good things. As a result, she believed deeply in love, family, and friendship.Rosalind smiled softly. "Yes, your mother and father do love each other very much."Eager to hear more, Elise asked, "Did the baby survive? How did you get through those days?"Every day, there were needles, medicine, and nourishing soups. Rosalind vomited so much that she felt dizzy and weak. She couldn't even get out of bed. Even standing to use the chamber pot drained all her strength. The baby took all her nutrients, but she could eat nothing herself.Later, when the sickness was too much, she stopped taking the medicine meant

    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
