Kyle was unaware of the matter. He had assumed David was the previous Earl of Silverstone."Didn't David inherit the title? Could it be that the people Sage Adrian sent to investigate made an error?" asked Kyle."We'll know once we ask Jacob," Rafael responded promptly.Jacob was invited to the study and asked about the events involving the Prince family from years ago. He did know some details about it—he was familiar with the matters of each noble family, going back three generations, though only to a certain extent."Yes, Mr. David never inherited the title. At the time, the then Earl of Silverstone, Vincent Prince, was still ill and hadn't appointed a successor. After Mr. David returned with military achievements, he requested to be made heir. Once he became the heir, Mr. Vincent's health began to improve and he eventually made a full recovery."Because of that, the passing of the title was postponed. I'm not entirely sure what happened after that, but Mr. Vincent later appoin

Jacob and Luke used their connections to dig into this old affair. They began with the relatives from other branches of the Earl of Silverstone's family. When they inquired, they were told that the child had died in a great fire, and that David and Evelyn had mourned for a long time because of it.It was clear that this information was incomplete, just like the findings of Adrian's previous investigation. It was only the surface of the truth.While the investigation continued, Barrett and Viola had already parted ways, each going their separate paths. The divorce had been finalized without dispute, with both sides agreeing to the terms. The dowry, which had once been paraded through the capital on their wedding day, was now quietly returned to Viola.All she wanted now was to keep things as low-key as possible. She told Zoey that since the Warren family was facing difficult times, there was no need to take large items like bedding or chests. They would only take back smaller valuabl

There was a reason why Riley had come to cause a scene.First, the rumors outside had become unbearable. With everyone knowing Silas was in charge of the herbs at Arcane Sanctum, the place was packed, not with patients, but with people eager to hurl insults at him.The constant commotion had severely disrupted the sanctum, to the point where sick patients couldn't even get in. Left with no choice, Sebastian, who had just returned from collecting herbs, had to make a public statement. He announced that Silas was fired and would no longer be associated with the sanctum.The second reason had to do with the match the Farrell family had carefully arranged for Thomas. His mother, Alice, was quite pleased with the prospective bride, and the young woman's family had agreed as well. The only thing left was for Thomas to consent and the formal engagement would be sealed.But when the news got out, the young woman's family sent a matchmaker to call things off, saying the marriage proposal wa

The notion of keeping family matters private was something Riley had always held dear, but at this moment, she couldn't care less. Still, she found herself cowed by Carissa's commanding presence.Holding back her tears of frustration, she followed Carissa's instructions and led her mom, sister-in-law, and aunt into the main hall of Silverstone Estate.Caspian hadn't finished his shift yet, so only Luna was there with a group of servants and maids, facing so many people. She wasn't used to such a situation, so she sent someone to call for Viola.However, when Viola heard that Carissa had arrived, she became even more unwilling to come out. In the end, it was Zoey, despite her high fever, who insisted on coming out to handle the situation.Seeing Zoey's condition, Carissa couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. In just a few days, she had visibly lost weight. Her complexion was pale and sickly, her lips flushed with fever, and she was so weak she could barely walk without support.

Seeing Riley cry so desperately, Zoey felt a pang of sympathy. She knew that if Riley wasn't pushed to the brink, she wouldn't be here making such a scene."Bring Viola out here. Use any means necessary," Zoey instructed, her face darkening.Jane and a few servants left the room.Once they were gone, Zoey turned to Riley and said, "You came here to find closure. No matter what she says—whether it's truth or lies—you must trust your own instincts. Once you've listened, you'll have closure for yourself and will know what to do."Riley wiped away her tears, revealing a pale face. She wasn't exceptionally beautiful, but there was a prideful air about her."Thank you, Mrs. Prince," she said softly.Bianca also explained things to Zoey and Carissa, clarifying that they were just worried about Riley. Even with so many relatives around, they were only here to seek justice and nothing more.They hadn't known about Silas and Viola's past affair. When Riley found out, she went home and tol

Viola's eyes flickered nervously, and she stubbornly refused to sit down. "It was a mistake made because of alcohol. I mistook him for Thomas, but he was sober. He knew exactly who I was. While I may have made an error, his fault was far greater," she said coldly. "That's not what he told me!" Riley shot back, forcing back her tears, her voice trembling with emotion. "He said you were drunk, yes, but not to the point of losing control. He said you knew full well who he was, and when you were together, you even called his name.""He's lying." Viola's face reddened. She quickly glanced at Carissa, then turned and shouted, "He's lying! Does he dare confront me about this? I called Thomas' name, not Silas'!"Though Carissa had no experience handling these matters, the conversation stayed with her. It had been a long time, but Viola claimed she remembered she had called out Thomas' name. Her words proved that she hadn't been so drunk as to confuse Thomas with Silas.Riley was speec

The moment those words left Bianca's mouth, everyone was stunned.The family members Bianca had brought with her were all unaware of the child. Even Riley hadn't known, so she was the most shocked. She almost stumbled back, too stunned to process what she had just heard. Her heart felt like it was shattering.Bianca had also been uncertain at first. But after the incident at Arcane Sanctum, she had sent someone to investigate Viola. They had found a physician who, by chance, had some connections with her husband. When asked about why Viola's child with the Warrens hadn't survived, the physician shared his theories. One possibility was that she had suffered a miscarriage in the past, which had damaged her ability to carry a child.Of course, the physician had no idea of the full extent of the situation. He just thought that it was common for women to miscarry. If a miscarriage wasn't properly cared for, it could harm future pregnancies.Bianca hadn't known whether Viola had ever h

Carissa sent someone to Arcane Sanctum to bring Ivy over.Thankfully, the wound on Zoey's forehead wasn't deep. The bleeding had stopped quickly with no serious consequences. However, Zoey had been feverish for several days, and her body was already weak. After getting so upset, her temper flared and she ended up spitting blood. Now, she was feeling lightheaded and faint.Tears flowed continuously from the corners of Zoey's eyes no matter how much Carissa wiped them away, as though they couldn't be stopped."Ivy, how is she?" Carissa asked after Ivy had finished examining Zoey.Ivy sighed heavily. "Mrs. Prince has had a high fever for days. I just tapped her back, and it seems her lungs are affected. Her liver is severely stressed, and there's a significant buildup of toxins and poor blood circulation. The medicine she took before this was too mild to have any real effect. I've given her a strong dose now to clear the heat in her liver and regulate her lungs. Once she improves

At the break of dawn, the large procession set out for Orivenia.Carissa didn't feel much regret in leaving. After all, they would pass through Victory Pass on the way back, and she would have the chance to meet with her grandfather and his family again.Once they had left Victory Pass, the road grew rougher. Many sections were full of deep potholes or had been intentionally damaged, making it difficult for the carriages to move forward.However, Kendrick was determined not to ride a horse again. Even after days of rest, his legs were still sore from the relentless friction of the saddle. Walking was manageable, but sitting on horseback? That was pure agony.So, despite having earned his merit at Victory Pass for establishing an orphanage there, Kendrick insisted on traveling by carriage. When the wheels got stuck or the path became too treacherous, the Mystic Army soldiers dismounted and pushed the carriage forward, inching their way through the difficult terrain.Fortunately,

Wallace gave the order, and Barrett was tasked with the job of investigating. He led a group to search the area.Barrett was aware that Carissa had arrived at Victory Pass. He had been there to greet the group. However, he had stayed at a distance, watching from afar without approaching. From that distance, he hadn't been able to make out any faces, only a vague silhouette that seemed to resemble hers.He had thought his actions unnecessary. After all, what business did he have with her? The affairs of the capital were nothing for him to involve himself with.While the diplomatic envoy rested in Victory Pass, they spent their time discussing strategies and rehearsing their approach. Everyone understood that while this negotiation might seem easier compared to the last, it was by no means a simple task.Lisandra had long kept this matter at the forefront of her mind and would not easily yield to any compromises.The Sullivan family also feared that someone might infiltrate the envo

Spring Pavilion was full that day.The restaurant wasn't very big to begin with, and it usually had some customers. The black-clad men that lady brought had taken up all the remaining seats.Carissa, Violet, and Travis had to sit at a small table the owner had set up at the last minute, separate from the others.The man's voice, soft and apologetic, reached Carissa's ear. It was warm and pleasant. "These are my brothers-in-arms. We've been traveling since last night and haven't had a bite to eat. If it troubles you, I can have them wait outside and just pass them some bread each when we're done."Violet paused, surprised, but quickly shook her head. "No need for that. Please, let them stay. They can sit where they like and order what they wish."The man smiled kindly. "You are kind-hearted, miss. In that case, we'll order freely, and we'll take extra.""Alright… That's fine," Violet replied, casting a glance at the sea of black. The men were dressed in a way that suggested some

Carissa studied the man and woman carefully, feeling a sense of unease. She couldn't quite place their age. They looked to be in their thirties, yet there was an undeniable vitality about them, as if they were no older than twenty.Her gaze moved to their eyes, particularly the man's. His eyes were as deep and mysterious, yet they held the calculating sharpness of a seasoned old fox.Before Carissa could say anything, the man stepped forward and spoke. "This is where the orphanage is being built? Is the local government funding it?"Travis glanced at them, noting their perfectly spoken Starhaven dialect. They clearly weren't from Victory Pass, yet he saw no malice in their faces. He nodded. "Yes, it's a place to take in abandoned children," he replied. "It's being supported by the local government."The man nodded. "That's a good cause."Carissa stepped forward. "Are you from the capital?"The man regarded her but didn't answer her question. Instead, he asked, "Are you the He

Kendrick didn't wake until well into the afternoon the following day, his body heavy with exhaustion and hunger. When his eyes finally fluttered open, he felt as if his entire body had been shattered. Every muscle ached, and lifting even his arm seemed like a Herculean task.The weariness sank deep into his bones, and he had no energy to move. His attendant, a trusted servant by the name of Avery, stood at his bedside, awaiting his attention. He said quietly, "Your Highness, Lady Carissa has been waiting for you for half the day. She wishes to speak with you."Kendrick had initially planned to stay in bed, have all his meals brought to him, and then drift back to sleep. He was simply too tired to move. But when he heard that Carissa had waited so long, he immediately threw the covers off and commanded, "Prepare me, quickly."Over the course of the journey, Kendrick had come to understand just how formidable Carissa was. As a woman, she had never once complained about exhaustion

After lighting a candle for Edith, everyone returned to the backyard. They wiped away their tears, set aside their grief, and gathered around Carissa to ask about her married life. The most frequent question was about how well Rafael treated her.That was how families were. They knew she was capable, yet they couldn't help but yearn for her spouse to treat her with genuine love and care.Carissa had many cousins, all daughters of her uncles, but most had only met her a handful of times. Still, when they saw her, they were all overjoyed.Her cousins were all married, and many had returned to Victory Pass with their husbands and children. Having heard so much about Carissa, they couldn't help but feel a mix of admiration and sympathy.Among them was Shayla Sullivan, the eldest daughter of Carissa's second aunt. She had married Chase Hudson, one of Dominic's subordinates. But within a year of marriage, Chase died in battle before their child had even been born.Now, the child was 12

After nearly twenty days of grueling travel, they finally arrived at Victory Pass on the third of August.The heat had been unbearable along the way, causing many in the party to fall ill. Fortunately, Carissa had come well-prepared with plenty of medicine. They had also brought along a royal physician, Dorian, who was able to manage the illnesses without any major issues.But Kendrick, having never endured such hardship, was exhausted beyond measure. By the tenth day of their journey, he could barely speak. His face and lips were pale, and the exhaustion was evident in every line of his features.When they finally reached the outskirts of Victory Pass and saw the Sullivan family and the troops come out to greet them, Kendrick collapsed. The sight of him fainting right there gave everyone a fright, and they quickly rushed to carry him back.However, Carissa barely noticed Kendrick's condition. As soon as she saw her family, she ran straight into her grandfather's arms, tears stream

On the twelfth day of July, the Starhaven envoy delegation departed the capital in a grand procession, heading toward Orivenia.Rafael rode alongside the group for five miles, only reining in his horse reluctantly when Dylan and Jacob both insisted it was time to stop. Carissa turned back to wave at him, her smile as bright as ever. There wasn't a hint of sadness on her face.Rafael gazed after her, his eyes filled with longing.But under his breath, he muttered, "She's heartless, truly heartless."The sun had risen high, and the road was still and stifling with the lack of wind. Still, Rafael waited until the last of the procession had disappeared from view before reluctantly turning his horse around and heading back.This journey to Orivenia was a significant one. Carissa had brought along three hundred men from the Mystic Army, as well as Travis, Violet, and the others.Though the two kingdoms enjoyed a temporary peace after the last conflict, Leroy had made public what happen

The evening before the trip, Carissa, accompanied by Rafael, made her way to bid farewell to Helen. Since she was leaving early in the morning, before her mother-in-law would be awake, Carissa chose to say her goodbyes the night before.Helen had known about the trip to Orivenia for some time. At first, she hadn't fully understood the situation and felt Salvador's order was a bit much. Why did it have to be Carissa, of all people, who had to undertake such a long and tiring journey?But after hearing from Violet that the real purpose of the journey was for Carissa to visit her maternal family, Helen only sighed quietly."The greatest pain in life is the separation from loved ones, whether by life or death. And the greatest joy is the reunion with loved ones after a long time apart."Of course, those words were spoken to Violet, and would never be said in front of Carissa. To say them to her would be like rubbing salt in an open wound. After all, Helen had come to love and cherish h
