Her Graceful War Song Chapter 1629
My parents, Harvey and Heather, had truly fallen. Not even in my wildest dreams had I imagined that my timid and cautious father would one day take part in treason.My father and elder brother were executed, while my mother was imprisoned. I wasn't implicated in the scandal, as the whole capital knew they had long since severed ties with me.I used to swear that if they ever came to ruin, I wouldn't lift a finger to help them. But blood ties weren't so easily broken. Even if I couldn't forgive them in my heart, the pain was still there. I couldn't eat or sleep in peace.I went to Cari and pleaded to be allowed to send in some food and clothing at the right time. When my mother saw me, she wept bitterly and begged me to help her escape. I still couldn't break the habit of crying too easily, but my heart had hardened."When I was miserably trapped in the Langley family's mess, I begged you for help. You told me even a muddy pit has air to breathe, and that I ought to stay where I was

Before my separation, I, Leona Sanford, used to lead a life that was nothing but a joke.Since I was young, my parents taught me to keep a low profile, never seek attention, stay out of other people's business, and guard my reputation carefully. I was never to invite trouble upon myself.Everyone said my parents were generous, modest, and noble in character.I believed it was true.After all, my father was a dignified prince, while my mother came from the noble Sullivan family. Even with such high ranks, they never troubled others or lost their temper. Even when treated unfairly, they simply smiled and bore it.But as I grew older and learned to see things clearly, I realized the people's so-called praise was really mockery. To them, my parents were cowards.The frightening part was that I had grown up with such teachings, never even realizing how timid I had become. I had mistaken my own weakness for gentleness, and that mistake stayed with me even after I married Samuel.I tho

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
