Semua Bab Her Graceful War Song: Bab 851 - Bab 860

Even though it was a suicide, the Royal Citadel still needed to investigate whether there was any foul play involved. Though Gregory was a Royal Citadel official, he couldn't participate in the inquiry since it involved his direct family.Anthony sent people to ask questions, and each person had a different opinion of Amelia.Viola claimed she was selfish and lazy, while Barrett described his late sister-in-law as quite understanding.Rebecca didn't hold back, calling her a poisonous, gluttonous, and deceitful woman, a disgrace to the Warren family.Aurora, who rarely stepped outside of Blessed Haven, simply remarked, "Who cares?"The servants said she was kind but easily deceived, someone who could be easily bullied. Charlotte wept, saying Amelia was a poor soul trapped in her circumstances.Yet, Benjamin couldn't describe her at all.After thinking for a long while, the only image that came to mind for him was of his wife quietly taking care of him every time he returned hom

Viola yelped as she quickly dodged the flying cup, then fell to the ground. The strain from days of working hard had already caused a dull ache in her lower abdomen, and with this fall, she felt a rush of blood flowing down her legs.Rebecca froze in shock at the sight.Tara hurriedly called for help to get Viola back to Grace Mansion, then called for a physician and a midwife.Barrett was summoned back urgently. By the time he arrived, the physician and midwife were already there.The baby wasn't full term yet, and the position was all wrong. After the fall, Viola had begun bleeding and her water broke. Seeing this, the midwife broke into a cold sweat.Outside the delivery room, Barrett was filled with worry. This was his first child—he was about to become a father for the first time, and his heart had been bursting with hope. Because of this baby, he had been putting up with Viola, avoiding arguments and disputes. He never imagined such an accident would happen at such a critica

Evelyn lingered in the delivery room for a moment before turning to Zoey. "There's no one capable of managing things here right now. Rebecca is sickly, and after Viola's difficult labor, she's physically and emotionally drained. Please stay here and help her for a few days."Ultimately, Evelyn was worried about Viola being mistreated. Rebecca could be cruel—after all, she had thrown a cup at Viola. Who knows how much her daughter had suffered in the past?But Evelyn didn't confront Rebecca now. The family had just lost Amelia, and now Viola had lost her child after a difficult labor.If anything happened to Rebecca...Forget it. They could no longer hide the miscarriage. Barrett likely believed it was just the result of Viola's previous relationship with Thomas, and assumed that the baby hadn't survived. If this matter could be swept under the rug, it would be for the best.Evelyn simply couldn't bear to face it.Zoey didn't want to stick around dealing with the mess at Valor E

At Hell Monarch Estate, the study was brightly lit."Are you really set on this?" Rafael asked Carissa once more. "You have to understand that taking this step could stir up a lot of trouble and you might face severe backlash.""Whatever you decide, I'll stand by you," he added, his warm smile a reassuring balm.Violet propped her chin on her hand, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "Not only do I support you, I'll also pitch in both money and effort."Carissa turned to Jacob. "What do you think?"Jacob thought for a moment before saying, "If I consider the prince's reputation, I can't support this. But as a person, I'm behind you all the way.""Kyle?" Carissa looked at her silent senior guild member.Kyle nodded slowly. "How could I not support you in what you want to do? But I must warn you—since you've made your decision, be prepared for the consequences and ensure you can handle them.""I understand."Under the light, Carissa's eyes shone brightly."This isn't

Rebecca froze, her gaze fixed on Zoey. The corners of her eyes, which had sagged slightly, now lifted, filled with scrutiny as she tried to gauge whether the younger woman was joking.But it was clear that Zoey was not joking—she was dead serious.A rush of blood flooded Rebecca's head as she struggled to catch her breath, scarcely able to believe that Zoey was asking her for money to buy medicine. They were family by marriage, and this was for medicine. Did she have to be so calculative about it?Suppressing the humiliation that bubbled up inside her, Rebecca shot a glance at Tara. There were some things she simply couldn't voice, given her senior status.Recognizing the cue, Tara mustered the courage to ask, "Could you lend us the money for now, Madam Zoey? We can pay you back later.""I rushed out of my home this morning. How could I possibly have that much money on me?" Zoey replied."You could always go back and fetch it first," Tara suggested, her voice barely a whisper.Z
