Trevor and Jeremiah stayed at Hell Monarch Estate for dinner. The spread was lavish, with fine wine served alongside it.Dominic was in high spirits and was drinking freely. The three of them chatted and laughed throughout the meal, mostly reminiscing about old times. They spoke of those who had already passed, even mentioning Matthias Warren.Jeremiah sighed deeply. "Back then, I used my connections to arrange a marriage between Barrett and Viola, all out of respect for Matthias. I wanted to make sure their family didn't fall into decline. Who would've thought those two would end up as a mismatched pair? As a matchmaker, I've truly failed. I regret it.""Everyone has their own fate," Trevor remarked. He then turned to Dominic, adding, "At our age, we can't be too concerned with the affairs of the younger generation. Let's focus on taking care of ourselves and enjoying a few more years surrounded by our grandchildren.Trevor's words carried deeper meaning. With Salvador still young

"It's not like I haven't thought about that too, but we're not there yet. So, let's not worry about it for now. If things don't work out, we can always sell the embroidery in other regions. It's not a huge problem. The real issue is that we haven't even taken the first step yet," said Carissa."True. I didn't expect it to be this difficult. Do you think the women's academy will be just as hard?" Violet asked."No, the demand for spots at the women's academy will exceed the supply," Carissa replied.Violet rested her chin in her hand. "Well, alright then. I'm in a bad mood now, so tonight, I'll have my four apprentices train harder."Carissa laughed. "Sage Violet, go ahead and send out the notice. Your apprentices are all eager to learn martial arts."Violet chuckled. "Kevin's the most diligent. That kid is relentless and his progress is fast. He's a great candidate for martial arts. If he had a mentor when he was younger, his skills would be impressive by now. As it is, he's a bit

Max's thoughts were somewhat misguided by Carissa. In truth, Salvador wasn't interested in cleaning up the Garrison Unit just yet.As long as things didn't get out of hand, Salvador was content to leave these small matters be. Balance was key, especially now, when the treason case investigation was ongoing. Though Yuvan and Harvey had both come into his line of sight, the evidence against them wasn't solid yet. If these men were purged too early, it could push Yuvan into taking matters into his own hands.It wasn't uncommon for one person's betrayal to drag down an entire family.Besides, Salvador had deeper ambitions. If he couldn't control the Mystic Army, he would let it rot from the inside. That way, it would be logical for the Nightsteel Guard to take its place, something that would naturally occur once the Mystic Army fell apart.Carissa wouldn't stand by and let these useless men cause chaos in the Garrison Unit. People who held even a modicum of power often abused it, tramp

By the time Michael realized what had happened and tried to take the wine bottle back from Barrett, most of the contents were already gone. Barrett ended up so drunk that he collapsed, unconscious.Michael couldn't get rid of him—not at all.He cursed himself. What had possessed him to drag such a good-for-nothing back? Drinking this much—Barrett couldn't have drunk himself to death, could he?Frustrated, Michael stormed out and brought in a bucket of cold water, ready to douse him. But when he looked at Barrett—lying there as still as a corpse, his face pale and green—he couldn't bring himself to do it.He shook his head, calling for his servants to prepare a carriage. He would personally take Barrett back to Valor Estate.The ride was rough. Inside the carriage, Barrett vomited wildly. Michael could smell the stench of it from outside as he drove the horses. It was like the foul water of a ditch that hadn't been cleaned in years, mixed with the scent of decay.Fuming, Michael s

Violet had a way of thinking that was a little different from most people. After a moment of silence, she turned to Carissa and asked, "Is it because he's upset the king demoted him and cut his salary? Is that why he's throwing a tantrum and resigning?"She wasn't sure if Barrett was really like that, but she knew she was.Whenever her family or her mentor offered her less than expected, she would dig in her heels and quit, using retreat as a strategy to gain leverage.Seeing the displeasure on Carissa's face, she quickly added, "Let's not talk about him anymore. He's a nuisance. Since the king won't let him resign, there's nothing more to be done. He can't make a fuss."The others nodded in agreement, shifting the conversation to lighter topics. They ate their honey cakes, and when Rafael didn't return, Lulu suggested saving some for him.After everyone left, Violet turned to Carissa and said, "Actually, it might be a good thing if he resigns. A man like him doesn't deserve to be
