Semua Bab Her Graceful War Song: Bab 621 - Bab 630

Amelia went to Hell Monarch Estate. Upon hearing that Viola had returned to Silverstone Estate, she immediately made her way there.Barrett was on duty, so he was unaware of the situation. With everything in such disarray, Amelia had no choice but to come. Dragging her "sickly" body into Silverstone Estate, she sighed heavily. She didn't know the full story, but she figured that the ruckus at Hell Monarch Estate that involved Carissa had something to do with Barrett.Evelyn didn't say much, only informing her that Viola was pregnant and that she should be taken care of. Amelia didn't dare ask too many questions, but she was certainly puzzled. Pregnancy was a good thing, so why did Viola cause a commotion at Hell Monarch Estate?Viola's pregnancy thrilled both Rebecca and Barrett. That evening, Barrett took great care of her. As Viola lay in his arms, silent tears streamed down her face. She was still extremely upset, but perhaps they could find a way to make their lives work if he

Carissa's words were clear enough for Zoey to grasp their meaning. She didn't dare to dwell on other implications, as they were beyond her purview as a woman. What she could do was ensure that the Earl of Silverstone's family maintained clean and transparent relationships with everyone.After Zoey left, Jacob stepped into the room.It was uncommon for Jacob to see Carissa alone, but he had taken notice of the situation since Zoey entered the room and had stayed outside to listen for a while.Carissa was aware he had been eavesdropping, and asked, "Do you think I handled that conversation appropriately?""It was perfectly balanced," Jacob replied. "You couldn't have been too direct, but you couldn't stay silent either. After all, the troops in the Southern Frontier consist of either the Sinclair Army or the Hell Monarch Army."Carissa sighed. "Yes, I can't just stand by and do nothing. But with Zoey in charge at Silverstone Estate, there are certain things she can't understand too

Leah was fuming with anger. "Get out of the way, old hag! I've put up with you for too long! I respected your age, but I didn't realize you were completely incompetent. I've never insulted an elder in my life, but I'll make an exception for you. You'd better not force me to slap you. If you can't keep your mouth shut, I'll sew it shut for you."Leah had always respected her elders and cared for the young, but she was, first and foremost, a martial artist. If she gave others an inch of respect and they tried to take a mile, then she wouldn't hold back from retaliating.Dorothy was furious. Abigail quickly supported her and whispered as they walked, "Mother, please don't stir things up. It won't look good if the Hell Monarch's princess consort shows up and sees this.""Am I supposed to be afraid of her?" Dorothy snapped. The one she loathed most was Carissa. "Though she's a princess consort, she has no right to interfere in the affairs of our household. Even Lady Heather hasn't said

Leona's maids, Hazel and Kate, were also crying in sorrow at Dorothy's words. When Hazel saw Carissa preparing to head outside, she hurriedly spoke up, "Your Grace, Mr. Samuel was trying to convince Lady Leona to speak on his behalf to the king. He hoped to restore his position and title. Lady Leona refused, saying he didn't deserve it. In a fit of rage, he pushed her—it's not Lady Leona's fault! Madam Dorothy's words are deeply hurtful to Lady Leona."Carissa was furious. She pushed aside the curtain and stepped out, her cold gaze landing squarely on Dorothy's face. The older woman was momentarily taken aback by the sharpness of Carissa's eyes, but she quickly straightened up, reminding herself of her seniority and status. Even as a princess consort, Carissa had no right to meddle in the affairs of the Earl of Gracehold's family."What do you intend to do, Your Grace?" Dorothy asked in a defensive tone.Carissa fixed her with an icy stare. "If I hear one more word from your mou

They waited for nearly an hour, and Leona had lost the strength to cry out in pain. She felt as though she had been pulled from the depths of water, her body drenched in sweat. Carissa stood by, wiping Leona's forehead with a cloth and murmuring comforting words into her ear. But in her agony, Leona couldn't process any of it. She felt as if she were on the brink of death.She managed to open her eyes with great effort, but they were vacant and hollow. She forced out a pained whisper, "It'd be better…better to just die.""Don't say such foolish things. Sebastian is almost here," Carissa choked out, overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness. It was the emotion she feared the most, as it signified her inability to do anything.Tears streamed down Heather's face. "Leona, please listen to me. Don't talk like that. Just hold on a little longer. Listen to your cousin. Sebastian is coming."Leona could only emit feeble groans, her eyes wide and unseeing. All her remaining strength was devo
