Her Graceful War Song Chapter 306
The ladies present today all saw how Carissa stole the spotlight. Even though they were envious, they understood that Kyle was protecting her with his reputation.With Kyle's favor, Carissa was bound to be highly regarded by the civil officials. For example, someone like Trevor, who valued art above all else, would likely seek more interaction with Carissa if he wished to maintain a connection with Kyle.As for the king, the prime minister, and the defense minister, their attitudes today showed their high regard for Carissa, and this respect was not solely due to Kyle's influence.Everyone had to admit that Carissa, once dismissed and devalued, had transformed into a favored figure in the capital.After the paintings were purchased, Ryan was brought out to pay his respects to the king and the others. Carissa had deliberately shown Ryan's face, highlighting him as the future head of the Duke of Northwatch's household.Though small in stature, Ryan stood straight and proud, evoking

After the art exhibition concluded, the king, accompanied by the high-ranking officials, left in high spirits. The ladies also took their leave. Given today's events, the Duke of Northwatch's household had likely solidified its position in the capital. Even Salvador himself had attended, which was a considerable honor.As Heather prepared to depart, she felt a pang of dissatisfaction. Carissa had arranged for a painting to be delivered to Helen, but Heather, her maternal aunt, had received none. The king or officials bought the paintings, and since her husband didn't attend, it was difficult for a woman like Heather to compete with the men for one.However, whether she bought one or not was one thing. Carissa should have at least given her a painting to show that bygones were bygones. Yet, until her departure, Carissa had never mentioned it. She only curtsied and said, "Please take care of yourself, Aunt Heather."Heather's smile was strained. "No need to trouble yourself with

Heather was left speechless by Leona's words. After a long pause, she tried to deflect some of the blame onto the Avis. "Avis is also Carissa's aunt, and she was the one who acted as a matchmaker for them. Why hasn't she come back? It shows that it's not just me who's cold-hearted—everyone’s like that!"Leona sighed. "It's not like you're unaware of Aunt Avis's situation. She's been ill, and likely couldn't make the trip. Besides, she doesn't have control over Prince Yuvan's estate. It's managed by his secondary concubine. It's almost like she's been kept under house arrest."Heather sighed in resignation. "Forget it. I won't keep up relations with your cousin in the future. You can maintain contact with her if you wish, as we can't completely sever ties. After all, she is Prince Rafael's future wife. You may think we're both princess consorts, but it's not the same. Your father is ineffectual and cowardly. While Prince Rafael may not hold military authority now, he controls the My

As Carissa escorted Leona to the door, she couldn't help but say, "Don't always sacrifice yourself and try to please others. It doesn't necessarily mean they'll value you more."Leona looked at Carissa, then shook her head and said firmly, "That's not true, Cari. People's hearts are made from flesh, not stone. I can always warm theirs."With that, she was helped into the carriage by her maid.Watching Leona's departing figure, Carissa felt an inexplicable chill. It was as if an ominous premonition had settled over her.Returning inside, Carissa still felt cold and asked Lulu to bring her a hot water bottle.Lily noticed this, and asked, "My lady, are you feeling unwell?""No, I just suddenly feel very cold," Carissa replied.Lily was puzzled since Carissa was wearing a fur cloak, and there was a fire going in the room. How could she be cold?After feeling Carissa's forehead and finding it unusually cool, Lily summoned Rowan from Ryan's quarters to check her.Carissa said it wa

After Rowan returned to the physician's office, he reported to Sebastian about Carissa's inquiry regarding Avis.Sebastian glanced at him, and asked sternly, "You didn't say anything inappropriate, did you?"Rowan replied, "I would never do that. I only mentioned that Lady Avis has gone to Verdant Monastery for her recovery."Sebastian sighed. "We should keep this under wraps for now. Let's address it after the wedding. If she learns of it now, she'll certainly go there herself."Rowan nodded. "I think the same. With the wedding so close and yesterday's art exhibition drawing even the king, no one in the capital will dare to speak ill of her. If we stir up trouble with Prince Yuvan at this critical moment, it will only lead to endless disputes.""Exactly. She’s already facing criticism and jealousy for her second marriage and high status. Yesterday's art exhibition silenced those gossips. If the wedding proceeds smoothly and she hears only good things, then life will be easier aft

Snow had fallen for two days, not continuously but intermittently. The grounds were covered in a thick layer of snow, though the servants had cleared paths that made walking possible.The orchids were in full bloom, but buried beneath the snow. With a kick, the snow would scatter, and the flowers would flutter down along with it.Amid the sea of white, with purple petals drifting down, Carissa and Ryan had built a snowman. Ryan enthusiastically found two pebbles to use as the snowman's eyes, giving it a quirky, adorable appearance.Carissa draped a cloak over the snowman, and added a hat. From a distance, it looked remarkably lifelike.Not far away, Kyle had set up his easel and had been painting for some time. It had been a while since he had seen Carissa so lively, and this painting would eventually be sent back to their guild.By the twentieth day of December, with the wedding imminent, Carissa found herself overwhelmed with preparations.The wedding gown had arrived; after mo
Her Graceful War Song Chapter 312
With only four days left until the wedding, Carissa was growing increasingly anxious as her master and the others hadn’t yet arrived.She went to ask Kyle, "Has Master sent any pigeon post? When will they get here?"Kyle was busy carving something with a chisel, and only seemed to remember when she asked. "Oh, I almost forgot. Master did send a pigeon saying that they won't be coming to your wedding. He said that once you have time, you should bring Prince Rafael to visit them at Meadow Ridge.""They're not coming?" Carissa was deeply disappointed. "But didn't they say they would?"Kyle chuckled. "You know, Master doesn't like to move around much these days. He prefers to lie down when he can, sit when he can't lie, and stand only when absolutely necessary. Especially in this cold weather, he's even lazier. So, he decided not to come. Instead, you'll have to visit them when you have the chance.""But if Master isn't coming, what about the other guild seniors? They could come, co
Her Graceful War Song Chapter 313
On the twenty-second day of December, Kyle indeed left.Carissa held onto his sleeve as she saw him to the door. The biting cold wind whipped around them, and the overcast sky suggested that snow was once again imminent.Carissa sighed inwardly. Even Kyle was leaving. She could only hope for clear weather on her wedding day. If it didn't snow, at least the bridal carriage would have an easier time moving. She had no other extravagant wishes.Kyle smiled and said, "I've ordered some jewelry for you at the Gilded Tower. Send someone to collect it. The payment has already been made, and the receipt is with Frederick.""I'll have Frederick go over later," Carissa replied, watching as the stable hand brought out Kyle's horse. She couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. "You're really in a hurry to leave? Can't you stay a couple more days?""No, it's urgent," Kyle said, gently rubbing her forehead. "We'll see each other soon enough. Aren't you planning to go back to Meadow Ridge?"
