Her Graceful War Song Chapter 81
Salvador first promoted Carissa to fifth-rank Valor General, then promised a future second promotion to fourth-rank Illustrious General. His actions showed just how much he expected from her.Recognizing that Carissa indeed possessed such capabilities, the prime minister had no objections."The deadline General Yates promised has already passed, yet the reinforcements still haven't arrived," Jeremiah pointed out.Salvador was a bit displeased but made an excuse, "Traveling through snow is truly difficult."Davis chimed in, "Your Majesty, Lady Sinclair has been promoted to a fifth-rank Valor General, while General Warren and General Yates are only fourth-rank Tactical Generals, which is a rank lower than General Sinclair."Barrett and Aurora had accomplished great deeds by negotiating the peace treaty with Westhaven, effectively stopping the fighting and establishing firm borders. By rights, their contributions should be considered as greater than Carissa's, who had merely assisted

Barret and Aurora stepped forward to greet Rafael."General Warren, reporting for duty!""General Yates, reporting for duty!"Rafael looked up with a smile. "You've finally arrived.""Heavy snow blocked the roads, which delayed our arrival. Please forgive us, Marshal," Barrett explained."The weather is to blame, not you or General Yates," Rafael replied.Glancing at Carissa, Rafael noticed she only looked up briefly and didn't come over to greet Barrett, so he suspected there was some issue between them.Meanwhile, Timothy and Owen, veterans of the Duke of Northwatch's army, scrutinized Barrett. Seeing his handsome and manly demeanor, they were quite satisfied. After all, Melanie had personally chosen Barrett as her son-in-law. How could he be anything less than worthy?Timothy stepped forward, patting Barrett on the shoulder with a hearty laugh. "General Warren, it's good to finally meet you! You're a lucky man to have married such a fine woman."Owen also smiled and said, "

In response to Aurora's taunting question, Carissa simply smiled and calmly replied, "It was a trivial matter that wasn't worth mentioning."Timothy was puzzled. "Divorce? Why would you get divorced?""After we won at Victory Pass, His Majesty issued a marriage edict for me to be Barrett’s second wife. Lady Sinclair couldn't tolerate it and requested an edict for divorce," Aurora explained.Although Aurora's statement was true, it wasn't the whole truth. She had deliberately omitted the fact that she and Barrett had used their military achievements as leverage to ask for the marriage edict. Her words made it seem like a jealous Carissa couldn't accept the royal edict, hence requesting the divorce.After all, even though Carissa was the legitimate daughter of a duke, she was nobody on the Southern Frontier battlefield.Meeting Aurora’s gaze, Carissa said, "You both achieved great merit at Victory Pass and used it to request a marriage edict from His Majesty. The first thing Barrett

Everyone present, including Rafael, was stunned by Aurora's words. Rafael quickly looked at Carissa, whose eyes were slightly red. She met his gaze and nodded faintly.Timothy, Owen, and other veterans of Hector's old army were equally shocked by the terrible news."How could this have happened?"Carissa softly replied, "Eight months ago, Westhaven spies infiltrated the capital. Everyone in my household... except those who accompanied me to Valor Estate, was killed.""Oh my god!"The generals could hardly believe this devastating news. Hector and his six sons had died on the battlefield, and now they learned that even his family had been wiped out. It was a tragedy beyond words!But why would the Westhaven spies do such a thing?"Lady Sinclair, you even hid this from them? What are you trying to do?" Aurora continued to provoke."Enough!" Rafael scolded sternly. "How many troops did you bring?""I brought one hundred thousand Capital Army soldiers, ten thousand Sacred Fire Reg

Barrett pulled on Aurora's hand as he addressed Rafael, "Marshal, please calm down. General Yates was just momentarily impulsive. She didn't mean to challenge your authority.""If you cannot accept military orders, leave the Southern Frontier immediately. I need generals who are absolutely obedient," Rafael replied coldly.Though Aurora was still unwilling to accept it, she dared not speak further and resigned herself to merely giving Carissa a cold glare.As a noble lady from a prestigious family, Carissa was naturally held in high regard. Her inherent wealth and status were far beyond that of a humble general's daughter. Yet, Aurora had earned her position through sheer effort and sacrifice, unlike Carissa, who seemed to have her achievements handed to her.As Aurora reluctantly followed Barrett, she said, "My military rank is low and my background is humble, so I have no right to argue. I will, of course, obey your orders, Marshal."Her statement was clearly a jab at Carissa.

No wonder Carissa knew that soldiers from Westhaven had disguised themselves as Sandorian soldiers and gone to the Southern Frontier battlefield. That was also why she had traveled alone for a thousand miles to bring Rafael the news."Take your time to calm down, then talk to me," Rafael said as he sat down beside her, his tall figure acting like a protective barrier shielding her from the world."What else do you want to know, Marshal?" asked Carissa, who had calmed down considerably.Rafael's eyes were like a dark sea churning beneath the surface. "Everything. Why you suddenly got married, what happened after you got married, and everything surrounding the Westhaven spies massacring your entire household."Carissa didn't know why he wanted to know about her marriage, but she answered truthfully, trying to keep her emotions steady and her recounting as straightforward as possible."When I returned from the Pathfinders Guild, I learned of my father and brothers' sacrifice. I told

Carissa continued, "That wasn't the worst of it. The worst came later."She recounted how the Warren family tried to seize her dowry—even going so far as to accuse her of being disrespectful and jealous, and used that as grounds for divorce."That was the real outrage. But I didn't expect the king to posthumously grant my father the title of duke and allow me to divorce Barrett. Because of that, I could take all my dowry with me."Rafael's eyes burned with anger. "They dared to treat you like that and wrong you?""I don't feel wronged," Carissa said, placing her hands on her knees and turning to look at Rafael. The beauty mark beneath her eye stood out vividly."If I had feelings for him, it would have been different, but I didn't. Leaving the Warren family was a relief for me. Their schemes failed, and you saw how angry Aurora was at me, Marshal. She was upset that I didn't care about the man she coveted."Aurora wanted to humiliate her, but Carissa had left the Warren family wi

The Mystic Army comprised thirty thousand strong troops, all personally trained by Rafael to protect the city. They were elite soldiers who were prepared to defend against any rebellion or attack on the capital. The Mystic Army rarely went to battlefields unless absolutely necessary.Now, reclaiming the Southern Frontier had become a necessity.Mobilizing troops from Riverhold Garrison could provoke the other enemy kingdom, Vesperia, into aggression. So, the troops from Riverhold Garrison couldn't be moved, which was why the Mystic Army had been dispatched.Though the Mystic Army seldom saw battle, it didn't mean they hadn't been on a battlefield. On the contrary, all thirty thousand members were selected from war-hardened soldiers and rigorously trained further.Ten thousand of them were Obsidian Guards. They were responsible for the king's safety and maintaining order in the capital.Another ten thousand handled criminal arrests. They were able to detain suspects, including roya
