Zoey arrived ahead of the Valor Estate party, accompanied by her maid and servants.As she entered, she first greeted Helen. Upon seeing Yuvan's family present, Zoey's face paled. This was a significant blunder.Guided by Lulu, Zoey stepped into the side hall and immediately offered her apologies to Carissa. "Lady Carissa, please forgive me. Viola's reckless behavior has offended both you and Lady Helen. I sincerely apologize on her behalf."Carissa waved her hand dismissively. "Mrs. Prince, you've arrived at the right time. Please take her back with you. I've sent someone to Valor Estate, but I doubt anyone will come to Hell Monarch Estate from there now. It's best if you handle it."Viola raised her tear-streaked eyes to look at Zoey, who shot her a cold glare before turning back to Carissa. "Of course, I'll take her back now. I'll come to apologize in person another day."Zoey stepped up to Viola, her expression icy. "Are you going to walk back on your own, or do I need to ha

As soon as Zoey left, Violet entered the room.Carissa rubbed her temples. "Aren't you supposed to be out in the gardens with Lady Fiona?""I couldn't care less about her," Violet replied as she took a seat, her expression tense. "I had Lily and a few maids accompany her. She's not getting away from Lily's watchful eye." Violet then turned her gaze to Carissa. "So, what was that crazy woman doing here?"Carissa glanced outside to ensure no one was eavesdropping before recounting Viola's ridiculous antics.By the time she finished, Violet was livid, her temper flaring. "She's carrying Barrett's child and still wants to cling to my godbrother? How shameless can she be?! Thankfully, her sister-in-law is sensible. If not, my godbrother might have felt guilty enough to take her in!""Calm down. There's no need to shout. Your godbrother knows the truth now, and will steer clear of Viola," Carissa reassured her."I've never seen someone so shameless," Violet huffed. "And there's another

It was Rafael's day off, and he felt as though Yuvan had ruined half of it. Helen shared his sentiments, expressing her disdain for Yuvan's family and how they expected her to play host."I can't stand a heartless man like him," she fumed. "Though he and the late king were brothers, he's not an ounce like him. He tortured his legitimate wife to death—he truly is a despicable man!"Gillian interjected gently, "They came all this way, and you're the only one with enough seniority to handle them properly. We can't have Prince Rafael or Lady Carissa dealing with them. After all, they're younger than Prince Yuvan. It wouldn't make sense for an elder to visit the younger generation. Isn't it more fitting for you to step in? By doing so, you've helped Prince Rafael and Lady Carissa.""I know, but I'm just so angry. I want to slap Yuvan twice," Helen said, her expression darkening. “There are plenty of heartless men out there, but I’ve rarely encountered one who is both cruel and callous.”

"Huh?""What?"In the main hall, both Rafael and Carissa were taken aback by the words of Trevor's wife, Mildred. They exchanged glances that spoke volumes of their confusion. Neither of them knew how to respond."This matter really has to be entrusted to you, Prince Rafael, Lady Carissa," Mildred sighed, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes crinkling.Carissa said with a troubled look, "But shouldn't matchmaking be handled by a professional matchmaker? Or at least a government-appointed matchmaker, or someone of high moral standing? I'm still quite young. I really can't bear this heavy responsibility."Mildred sighed deeply again. "You may laugh at us for saying this, but my granddaughter has always been well-behaved and sensible, except when it comes to her marriage. I've secretly scouted several suitable matches for her in the past, but she hasn't liked any of them. She insists on marrying only that man. We've tried to persuade her repeatedly, but she refuses to listen. She'

Rafael stole a glance at Carissa, relieved to see she wasn't angry. Turning away, he felt the urge to slap himself for even worrying. It was clear that Trevor truly adored his granddaughter.Rosalind seemed to be Trevor's youngest grandchild. As the baby of the family, it made sense she would be the most cherished."Are you two in a hurry? Today, we—""Yes, we're in a hurry! That girl is practically in tears!" Trevor rubbed his knees anxiously, eager for them to seek out Thomas immediately. "She may be stubborn, but if the Farrell family gives her an answer she believes, she'll be able to let it go. She won't cling to it forever."Mildred nodded in agreement. "Exactly. Right now, all they've said is that they don't want to hold my granddaughter's life up. Rosalind thinks they're just making excuses. If they're not interested, they should just say so. She's the kind of person who needs honesty."Hearing this, Rafae's heart sank. It was clear he wouldn't be taking his wife to see th
Her Graceful War Song Chapter 617
Carissa laughed, and said, "What's the rush? Your godbrother will be here soon. There's someone interested in him who wants to know his feelings, but he's already turned her down. This time, they're inviting him to clarify whether he's truly not interested or if he just has no plans to marry."Violet's eyes brightened, and she hurried inside. "Really? Which girl has such good taste to fancy my godbrother? Come on, spill it!""The granddaughter of Mr. Young, Rosalind." Carissa shushed her quickly. "Don't spread this around. It might not lead anywhere.""It's her?" Violet shot up from her seat, shock written all over her face. "Is my godbrother out of his mind? Rosalind Young! Why did he refuse? She's such a catch—gracious, loyal, talented, and stunning. Families would be fighting over her!""Keep it down," Carissa snapped, shooting her a glare.Violet sat back down, a huge grin on her face. "I'm just so excited! But does Ms. Young really like him? It couldn't be just a passing fanc
Her Graceful War Song Chapter 618
Thomas laughed bitterly. "The rumors about my marriage intentions were spread on my orders. I can't now turn around and say it was to put an end to Viola's hopes and that I have no plans to marry at all. That would just make me look like a hypocritical scoundrel."Violet asked, "Then tell me, if you were genuinely thinking of getting married, would you consider Ms. Young?""My dear godsister, how could I possibly be worthy of her?" Thomas repeated his answer, then added, "Honestly, I don't know her well. I know she has a great reputation, but she's at least ten years younger than I am, and she would be my second wife. I can't put her through that.""She's happy to accept that," Violet countered.Thomas chuckled. "How could she genuinely be happy? It's just a young girl's fleeting fantasy. As His Highness said, I should come up with a good excuse to decline gracefully, so as not to embarrass the Young family or the girl herself. Violet, you're clever—why don't you help me think of s
Her Graceful War Song Chapter 619
In the end, Jacob thought up an excuse. He mentioned that they had spoken to Thomas. With no official appointment from the court yet, Thomas didn't even know where he would be dispatched. Rosalind was the treasured granddaughter of Trevor, and she would be expected to follow him to the borders if they were to marry, potentially spending three to five years away from the capital without a visit.Rosalind was a person of utmost purity and devotion. How could she bear to leave her family and endure hardship in some remote outpost?Everyone agreed that this reasoning was compelling. Rosalind was exceptionally devoted to her grandparents, who were now elderly. There was simply no way she could leave the capital and them behind.Since Rafael was to return to the Supreme Court the next day, Carissa and Violet decided to visit Trevor's residence.Rosalind came out to greet them, dressed in a pale yellow blouse paired with a matching pleated skirt. The skirt was intricately embroidered with

Salvador seemed much more clear-headed now, no longer as muddled as he had been in the palace.He smiled. "There's no need for formality. Please relax. I only came here to the estate to see Mr. Spencer and have a chat. I was feeling a bit restless."Carissa replied, "In that case, I won't keep you from your conversation with Kyle. We shall take our leave.""Don't rush off," Salvador said, his gaze turning toward her with genuine concern. "Since you're here, stay and talk for a while. How is your injury? Are you feeling better?"Carissa lowered her hand again, which she had just propped up, and answered, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's getting better, but the physician insisted I rest in bed for a few more days.""I see." Salvador nodded, his expression thoughtful. "Injuries to the muscles and bones need proper care."He said this, but he didn't allow Carissa to leave. Everyone in the room stayed, either sitting or standing, and kept them company.After a moment o

The events in the study and at Serenity Palace were quickly reported to Salvador, leaving him restless and irritable. Coupled with days of intense planning, the strain weighed heavily on him, and the relentless headaches only worsened.Lifting Kylie's house arrest had been part of Salvador's preparations for Connor. If Connor was to be Crown Prince, his mom couldn't remain under the shadow of punishment. Salvador had hoped Kylie's time in confinement would lead her to reflect and understand the dangers of indulgence—that spoiling a son was no different from harming him. Yet, Kylie had emerged with an even stronger determination to keep Connor close, convinced that his presence was the key to securing her own position.Salvador pushed his dinner away, his appetite nonexistent. He forced down a few bites to keep his stomach from aching and sipped the bitter medicine prescribed.He had no choice but to drink it. Every day he managed to hold on felt like a small victory.But the loom

Kylie timed her visit perfectly and made another trip to the study to personally retrieve Connor. Together, they returned to Serenity Palace to offer their greetings to Victoria.The procession was grand, with a whole entourage following behind. Even Connor was carried back by a young chamberlain, only being set down once they reached the palace gates.Kylie straightened her appearance and held Connor's hand firmly as they entered.After performing the proper gestures to greet Victoria, Kylie remained on her knees and maintained perfect decorum throughout the entire time.However, Victoria made no motion to let her rise. Instead, she turned her attention to Connor, gesturing for him to approach. "Did your tutor praise you today?"Connor hesitated, shrinking back slightly. He cast a cautious glance at Victoria before answering in a timid voice, "The tutor forgot to praise me today."Still kneeling, Kylie quickly interjected. "Mother, Mr. Young is strict and doesn't hand out compli

The mother and son pair spoke in the royal study for nearly two hours.After Victoria left, Salvador issued an edict lifting Kylie's house arrest. However, the authority to manage the harem was not immediately returned to her.Upon hearing Derek's message, Kylie was at first hesitant to believe it. How had the house arrest been lifted so suddenly?But then she remembered—it must have been the rumors she had people spread earlier. The queen was still alive, yet they wanted to send her son to be raised in the queen dowager's palace? That went against tradition.So, after the house arrest was lifted, Kylie didn't immediately go to express her gratitude. Instead, she headed to the study to visit Connor.Upon seeing his mom, Connor's face lit up with joy. Ignoring the fact that Trevor was still giving a lesson, he sprang to his feet and ran straight into Kylie's arms. "Mom, I've missed you so much! When will you come and take me back?"Kylie bent down, resting her hands on his shoulde

The following day, Jeremiah went to the Royal Medical Department. All the court physicians, including the head physician, were present. Jeremiah sat, his gaze heavy as he surveyed them all. "I have only one question for you," he began. "Do you have any hope of curing His Majesty's illness?"The physicians fell into a long silence. After what seemed like an eternity, the head physician, Desmond Walker, looked up with tired eyes. The red veins around them were a testament to sleepless nights. He shook his head. "No, we do not.""Not even a glimmer of hope?" Jeremiah asked, his voice tinged with disbelief. "Not even the smallest chance, a method, anything?"Once again, the room was filled with silence. Jeremiah's eyes dimmed, his expression sinking until it was devoid of light. With a deep sigh, he finally spoke, his voice heavy with resignation. "Can you extend his life for two more years if we gather the full strength of the Royal Medical Department?"Desmond bowed his head,

That evening, Jeremiah chose to stay in the palace.Salvador still hadn't visited the harem, nor had he returned to his chambers. Instead, he had made his bed on the couch within the royal study.Jeremiah watched as Salvador finished his medicine and then offered him a piece of candy.Salvador accepted it, but he didn't eat it right away. His expression softened, and he smiled. "I still remember. When I was younger, my dad would punish me here in the royal study. Afterward, you would always give me a piece of candy and say a word of encouragement."Jeremiah glanced at Salvador. "Yes, I remember that as well. You used to tell me that you wished to be a wise ruler one day."Salvador's smile faltered, and he bit into the candy. His voice grew muffled as he spoke. "Have I disappointed you, Mr. Murray?"Jeremiah shook his head. "No, not at all. In my heart, you're a wise ruler, Your Majesty.""I am not," Salvador said, his eyes darkening with a hint of regret. "I still have many am

The weight of the situation was immense, and for a moment, Carissa's mind seemed incapable of processing it all.If Salvador were to pass, Connor's ascension to the throne would be nearly certain, and it wouldn't be long before he was declared Crown Prince. A young king would need regents, and not just one, which would lead to factions forming within the court. In that case, the balance of power would inevitably be thrown into turmoil.If regents weren't appointed, it was likely that either Victoria or Kylie would take charge and rule behind the scenes.Kylie was ambitious, and even in her confinement, she was plotting for Connor's future. The Quinton family, though suppressed by Salvador, held vast power. If Salvador were to die and Connor took the throne, their influence would soar. Who wouldn't want that kind of power?Jeremiah was aging, and though he had already entertained thoughts of stepping down, he was still willing to support the new king. But once the power struggle

After all the expected visitors have returned, Carissa could finally rest and focus on her recovery.Robert still made occasional visits, bringing medicines for healing and scar treatment. Jacob would always be by her side. He would thank Robert each time and ask him to pass on their gratitude.On this particular day, Robert arrived with Derek. Seeing an opportunity, Jacob decided to take Robert aside to discuss the treatment for the scars, giving Carissa the chance to speak privately with Derek.Carissa gestured to a seat across from her, inviting Derek to sit. "Was it His Majesty who sent you?"Derek settled down, and then cast a glance at the guards standing just outside the door. "It was His Majesty who sent me, though I had planned to come anyway. How is your injury, Your Grace? Have you been feeling better?"Carissa hesitated before meeting his gaze directly. "Do you think I'm healed, Mr. Walker?"He sighed. "Your Grace, you're quite perceptive. Your injury has improved, bu

Rosalind nodded and said, "Then, I won't keep you any longer. Farewell.""Safe travels!" Zoey smiled as she bid her goodbye.Once Rosalind left, Zoey glanced at Viola. She noticed the light had completely drained from her sister-in-law's eyes, leaving behind a shadow of regret. Zoey understood immediately—Viola was lamenting the past again."There's no use in dwelling on things that have already passed. Let's go inside."Viola had summoned all her courage to come and visit Carissa, to whom she owed an apology and a thank you. Though she said she was accompanying Zoey and Luna today, she was actually here to face the past.She had told herself she was ready, but all her resolve seemed to shatter when she saw Rosalind.It felt as if something had struck her hard in the chest. Her mind went blank, and that forced smile she had tried to wear now felt like a mask she was afraid would crack. She was terrified she might break down in front of them.As Viola followed her sisters-in-law
