Semua Bab Her Graceful War Song: Bab 321 - Bab 330

Silverstone Estate was bustling with activity. Thanks to Oliver's commanding position in the Hell Monarch Army, the estate was alive with excitement. Although the wedding was scheduled for the following day, the festivities had already begun with a grand banquet today.When Viola received the divorce letter and left the Farrell family, they felt a sense of obligation toward their daughter-in-law. In addition to returning the dowry, they provided her with a substantial amount of silver coins. They even gave her Thomas's military pension, and purchased land for her.Being from a military background, the Farrell family felt that Viola shouldn't spend her life in hardship. At that time, Viola had insisted she would never remarry. The Farrells worried that without money or land, her life could be very difficult. Hence, they gave her a considerable amount. The wedding gown from Enchanted Boutique, which usually required a six-month advance booking, was secured for her with additional sil

Before long, Ryan returned in his new clothes.Over the past few months, he had grown taller. The outfit, which had been custom-made, fit him perfectly. The white silk satin was embroidered with rabbits, and the outfit featured a small cape made of leather with a black exterior and blue lining. The hood of the cape, when draped over his back, gave him the appearance of a young hero. His hair was tied up with a blue silk ribbon, making him look both adorable and festive."Let me see," Carissa said, holding his hand and inspecting him from top to bottom. His freshly powdered face was still flushed and warm, but he wore a beaming smile. "Gosh! Is this our boy, Ryan? I almost didn't recognize you. You look truly wonderful."Ryan blushed slightly. "Those are just things to say to little kids, Aunt Carissa. I'm not a little kid anymore.""Of course you are," Carissa said with affection. "In my eyes, you will always be a little kid." She hugged him, feeling the warmth of family.Sally

After the Inferno Guild, the next announcement came from the capital's physician's office, Arcane Sanctum. They had sent various precious medicinal herbs, including a century-old rare herb and snow lily.Following Arcane Sanctum was the Tideborn Guild, which also sent rare treasures. Among them, Mystic Pearls were the most prized. They seemed determined to outdo the Inferno Guild, delivering three jars of Mystic Pearls, along with a variety of gemstones. Their offerings filled three entire boxes.Viola grew colder, and trembled with each announcement. The more she heard, the more her body shook.Carissa also felt her body shiver more with every announcement. She could hardly hear the list of gifts, only the names of the guilds. Many of these guilds were unfamiliar to her. Why would they add to her trousseau? It must have been her master who informed them.Finally, after hearing announcements from six or seven more guilds, Carissa recognized the voice of her fifth guild senior.

Frederick wiped his eyes as he approached Carissa. "My lady, the bridal carriage will soon arrive. Please hurry and touch up your makeup."Now that her master and fellow guild members were here, Carissa felt a pang of reluctance as the time drew near for her to marry. She hesitated, and asked, "Could we delay by two hours?""That's not possible, my lady. You must complete the ceremony within the allocated time."Winona took her hand gently. "Come, let's get your makeup sorted out. It's a joyful day, so why are you crying and fussing? That's inappropriate. We've come to see you off, and we'll accompany you to Hell Monarch Estate. We have seats reserved there for the wedding banquet."Carissa blinked, her eyes misty. "So, Prince Rafael knows all of you are coming?""He does, but he didn't know that you were unaware."Well, if that was the case, Rafael hadn't withheld the information from her.With her mood steadied, Carissa stood and bowed in thanks to the heads of the various g

The two wedding processions collided head-on.Barrett looked at Rafael, and Rafael looked back at Barrett.Their gazes met, and Rafael felt nothing but gratitude. He was thankful Barrett had abandoned Carissa. However, gratitude was one thing—the fact that Barrett had previously wronged Carissa was another matter.Barrett's eyes were filled with a complex mix of emotions. Once, he had been just as passionate and proud while bringing Carissa into his home. Back then, he had felt like the happiest man in the world.Yet, fate was cruel. Now, Carissa was the Hell Monarch's princess consort, while Barrett had married and divorced different women, never truly finding fulfillment.Because of that, Barrett's complex gaze was filled with traces of envy, jealousy, resentment, bitterness, discomfort, and heartache. At this moment, he seemed to fully realize that he and Carissa could never go back—there really was no connection between them anymore.It was this clear realization that led B
