Her Graceful War Song Chapter 221
Watching Eleanor's face shift from green to red, and then from red to white, Helen felt a deep sense of satisfaction. At last, she was seeing Eleanor get a taste of defeat.Helen didn't fully understand why this matter couldn't be used to accuse Carissa of any crime—after all, an offense of disrespect was no small matter. Regardless, seeing how Eleanor suddenly fell silent, it was clear that no punishment for Carissa would be forthcoming. To truly understand the subtle reasons behind this, Helen would need to consult her sister. But for now, she was content to enjoy the spectacle of Eleanor's irate, multicolored face.In the end, Eleanor stormed off in anger, having realized during this visit to the palace that Carissa's audacity was backed not only by Rafael, but also by Victoria and Salvador. No wonder she had been so brazen!After Eleanor left, Salvador sighed and rubbed his temples. "It seems that the matter of the miniature chastity belt sculpture is indeed real. Aunt Ele

Victoria was well aware of Helen's intentions. She decided to give Helen a gentle warning. "Soon, you'll be moving to Hell Monarch Estate to live with Rafael. If you don't understand the ways of managing a household, don't try to overstep and take control. Once Carissa enters the family, she will naturally take charge of the household's affairs…""Victoria, that's not quite right," Helen interrupted Victoria with an unusual seriousness. "How can a new bride be in charge of the household? I have reservations about her. Since we're here together, I won't hesitate to speak plainly—I don't like her, and I don't want her to be my daughter-in-law, let alone manage the household.""Oh? You want to take over the household?" Victoria raised an eyebrow. "Alright then, starting tomorrow, I'll ask Kylie to transfer her duties overseeing the inner palace to you. Let her have a rest and see how you manage for a few days.""It's not like I've never done it before," Helen replied. "Kylie has been

Eleanor was indeed behind this matter. Since she couldn't have Salvador punish Carissa for offending the royal family, she decided to take matters into her own hands and teach Carissa a lesson in her own way.The people of the capital had praised Carissa for her devotion to her family. Then, what about now? Eleanor wanted to see if a daughter who remarried during her mourning period would be met with public scorn!One of Eleanor's servants, Lucy, came in with a beaming face to report, "Your Highness, news of this has spread far and wide. Coffeehouses and taverns are abuzz with discussions, and it's mostly in condemnation.""Mostly?" Jessica's brows knitted in cold displeasure. "Are there still some people speaking in her favor?"Lucy replied, "Yes, my lady. There are a few troublemakers defending her, saying that by the time she got married, it had already been twenty-four months since her father's death."Mourning for parents traditionally lasted three years for children, but thi

Eleanor smiled slowly, thinking it was time to extract some money from this money tree.-Inside Evergreen Palace, Helen sneezed repeatedly. As she was preparing for a nap at noon, she was informed that Eleanor and Jessica had arrived.Gillian furrowed her brow. When the two of them came together, it was usually for a specific reason.A few years ago, Jessica and Dakota opened a makeup shop and made some money. Helen, who hated being outdone by others, heard about their success and thought about starting a shop herself. However, she didn’t plan to team up with Jessica. She actually wanted to partner with her maternal nephew.However, Jessica approached Helen with a proposition. She claimed she had a unique formula that produced makeup as good as the ones used in the palace. She asked Helen for three thousand silver coins to start the business, suggesting they could open a makeup shop together.Helen was skeptical of Jessica, so Eleanor intervened. Eleanor made sarcastic comments,

With the silver she obtained from Helen, Eleanor distributed some to continue fueling the gossip in the taverns and coffeehouses, exaggerating Carissa's supposed failure to observe her duties toward her family.Carissa remained silent. She even closed the doors to Northwatch Estate and refused to make any public response, which satisfied Eleanor. Eleanor thought Carissa must be scared of the public outcry, and reveled in the victory. Eleanor believed that Carissa going against her was like trying to fight a rock with an egg—completely futile.Riding on her success, Eleanor entered the palace to see Salvador. She argued that Rafael's marriage to Carissa was laying a hidden danger to his throne. For the stability of the kingdom and its people, she suggested that Carissa's entry into Rafael's household should be prevented.She expected Salvador to ponder her words seriously. To her surprise, he responded with a cold and stern expression. "Aunt Eleanor, what are you saying? Both my

One of the coffeehouse patrons recognized the irate speaker, and immediately shouted, "That's the current minister of the Astrology Department!"The murmur of the crowd erupted into a clamor. How could a date chosen personally by the minister of the Astrology Department fall within a period of mourning?The Astrology Department minister pointed an accusatory finger at the stunned storyteller, and thundered, "Who sent you to defame the Duke of Northwatch's household? The Sinclair family's seven men all sacrificed themselves on the Southern Frontier! General Sinclair is a female general who has distinguished herself repeatedly in battle! She aided the Hell Monarch in reclaiming the Southern Frontier! "Any loyal subject of our kingdom would only hold the Duke of Northwatch's family in the highest respect. Yet here you are, spreading vile rumors and accusing General Sinclair of being disrespectful! What is your true intention?"A loud voice called out, "Could it be that you're a spy f

It was relatively easy to trace the matter back to Eleanor's estate.With so many people bought off by Eleanor, there were bound to be a few with weak nerves who, after being questioned by the officials a few times, would reveal everything they knew.When the investigation reached Eleanor's palace, Anthony ordered a temporary halt. He decided to visit Northwatch Estate in person to see Carissa.When Carissa got married, the event was conducted with great discretion. There were no lavish feasts, and the Marquis of Highcrest's family only sent three ladies to present gifts. No one attended the wedding.Carissa and Anthony had seldom met. She had left home at a young age and rarely stayed in the capital. After returning from Meadow Ridge, the Marquis of Highcrest's female relatives occasionally visited Carissa's sister-in-law. Anthony had come once or twice, but Carissa, still learning etiquette at the time, had only appeared briefly to offer a polite greeting while concealing her fac

Carissa's hands, which were resting in her lap, curled into fists as she choked back a sob. She turned her face away, trying to hide her tears and maintain her composure.Seeing her distress, Anthony suddenly regretted coming. Perhaps, neither family was truly ready to meet under these circumstances.Even a man like Anthony found it hard to hold back tears, let alone a girl of eighteen or nineteen. Though she had seen battle and taken enemies' lives, she had always been the cherished jewel of her family. With her family gone, she was left alone.No matter how strong her outer facade, her heart would still ache with sorrow.Anthony had never wanted to recall that scene—he never dared to. However, perhaps it was time to confront it. Otherwise, the pain would linger forever.His voice lacking its usual steadiness, he said, "We should let bygones…be bygones. One must always look forward. I heard about your engagement to the Hell Monarch. I haven't had the chance to congratulate you.
