Her Graceful War Song Chapter 453
All eyes were on Serena as she lay on the ground, her tears on the verge of spilling. Her knees and forehead throbbed with pain.But the pain was secondary—she had come so close to falling into the Hell Monarch's arms.She thought that although Rafael was a martial general, he would surely have a compassionate heart. Any man would instinctively reach out to help if a woman was about to fall.However, just as she believed she was about to be caught, she felt as if some force had pulled her forward. She landed on the ground while Rafael had swiftly stepped back.The speed of his retreat was so swift it was barely perceptible, as if he had never moved at all.Struggling in pain, Serena raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, only to meet Rafael's cold, icy gaze. The intensity of his stare made her shiver uncontrollably.A maid helped her up, but Serena could barely stand, leaning heavily on the maid for support. Instinctively, she looked towards Jessica, who was standing nearby

Lily walked over to Serena and said, "Ms. Warren, you have a head injury. Please come with me so I can tend to it."Lily had previously worked at Valor Estate, and she was a familiar face to Serena.Serena was aware that her forehead was bleeding. Though it was only a small amount, appearing at the birthday feast with a bloody forehead would be highly inappropriate. Thus, she reluctantly followed Lily.As Lily attended to Serena's wound, she said softly, "Never covet what's someone else's."Serena felt humiliated, and trembled all over.-Outside, Violet approached Carissa."It was Jessica who pushed her. Clearly, they planned it together. They probably intended for Serena to fall onto your man and force him into marrying her. What's odd is that Jessica seems indifferent to whether the plan succeeds or not."Carissa replied, "Yeah. When Lady Dakota came out with her grandchildren and then the topic changed to taking concubines, I knew their intentions. They want to make my moth

Ultimately, Viola didn't leave the banquet before this.The scrutinizing gazes that fell upon her face made her feel utterly humiliated. Yet, she couldn't bring herself to look away, unwilling to miss even a moment of Carissa's potential embarrassment.Such a grand banquet was bound to have some slip-ups.The next part of the event was the toasting ceremony. Although the male and female guests were seated separately, the screens dividing them were only a slight barrier.During the toasts, it was customary for the guests to bow their heads in acknowledgment. As the male guests moved to toast, they said, "Let's go, we'll toast to Lady Helen."The women paused, putting down their utensils and lifting their fans to cover their faces.Rafael led a group consisting of Harvey, Jeremiah, and Trevor, and the men approached Helen. They didn't glance at the female guests but walked straight to Helen, stopping a short distance before her and raising their glasses. "Lady Helen, we wish you

Viola was completely floored. She couldn't believe Serena would repeatedly engage in such shameless behavior. This time, Serena had even offended Leopold!Most troubling of all, Leopold hadn't merely grabbed her. He had caught her around the waist, likely an instinctive reaction.As a male guest, Leopold was unaware of the earlier commotion in the garden. All he saw was a woman who appeared to be fainting with an injured eye, and he instinctively reached out to catch her.The instinctive action had been so swift that Leopold's mind lagged behind just a moment. By the time he realized what he had done, he was already holding Serena.And it had been in full view of everyone!Carissa's expression hardened. "Guards, escort Ms. Warren back to her residence. She's unwell."Margaret cast a grateful glance at Carissa. If Serena wasn't sent away promptly, the situation would be difficult to resolve.Lily and two maids quickly entered. One supported Serena's arm, while the other helped he

Carissa continued to entertain the guests, but privately instructed Violet to keep an eye on everyone, especially those with ulterior motives.Violet observed two young women who frequently exchanged glances with Eleanor. After noting their details, she approached Lily to inquire about them.Lily was assisting with the arrangements inside. After identifying the two women, she came out and told Violet, "The one in the yellow dress is from Lady Ruth's natal family, but I don't know her name. The one in the violet dress is from the late Lady Chloe's natal family, and her name is Renee. She is exceptionally talented and beautiful. People often compare her to Queen Kylie. Queen Kylie's talents were once unrivaled in the capital."Violet made a mental note of that. When Carissa emerged, Violet informed her of the two women's identities.Carissa understood immediately. Both Ruth and the late noble concubine, Chloe, had connections to Eleanor and Yuvan. They were clearly trying to insert t

And that wretched woman currently favored by Leopold was Margaret's niece. She was made his concubine and, like a breeding sow, already had a son and a daughter. Now, she was pregnant again and was expected to give birth in a few days.Returning now would only add to Jessica's grievances. But with her mother's orders, Jessica had no choice but to go back.The pride she once had, boasting about returning to her natal family, now seemed like a distant memory. No one came to pick her up, and she had to return alone, looking quite embarrassed.Taking Serena in as a concubine…That wretched woman had bore a son and a daughter, and was about to give birth again. Though Serena was foolish, her youth and beauty gave her an advantage. Jessica could let Serena deal with that wretched woman, and then benefit from the chaos.Even though Jessica thought that way, her resentment towards Serena was profound. Wretched, all of them—Jessica had brought trouble upon herself.Eleanor closed her ey

Rafael's stubbornness flared up again. He gently pushed his mother aside, then grabbed Carissa by the wrist. "I just heard you mention getting me a concubine. Come with me. I'll deal with you in our room."With that, he dragged Carissa out of the room.Helen was stunned, unable to comprehend what was happening.Wasn't it just a casual mention? Her son was truly out of his mind!"Gillian, go and check on them immediately!" Helen said urgently. "We can't have him hurting her. How am I going to explain this to my sister? She dotes on Carissa the most!"Gillian sighed. "How can I go? You wanted to arrange concubines for Prince Rafael yourself after listening to Grand Princess Eleanor and Lady Dakota. If I go now, it might only provoke His Highness further. Lady Carissa seems resilient enough…""Nonsense! Which husband beats their wife after marrying her? If you don't go, I will!"Gillian tried to stop her. "Alright, I'll go get Mr. York. His Highness listens to him the most.""Qu

After a busy day, and with the weather warming up, a bath was a necessity.Rafael lifted Carissa effortlessly, his lips brushing her ear as he spoke in a husky, magnetic voice, "Perfect timing. Let's bathe together."Carissa wrapped her arms around his neck, her curiosity piqued. "We've been intimate every night, yet we haven't conceived. Why is that?""Are you eager to be pregnant soon?" Rafael carried her into the bathing chamber, and started to help her out of her dress."Not really. I'm just curious. I remember my mother saying that she found out she was pregnant just over a month after marrying my father.""I don't think we need to rush into having children," Rafael said, carefully peeling off her clothes until her fair shoulders were exposed. "I had Sebastian prescribe me some medicine. Let's wait until your health fully recovers first—you were injured on the battlefield, after all."Her eyes widened. "You took contraceptive medicine? I've heard it can be quite harmful."R
