All Chapters of Her Graceful War Song: Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

However, Carissa suddenly recalled that the Prince family had indeed come to propose marriage. It was Oliver's younger cousin, but Melanie hadn't been impressed.Forget the past. It was better to move on. She and Rafael were set to marry in two months. What had happened in the past was as if it had died yesterday, and what lay ahead was as if it was born today.They would bid farewell to the past, and look forward to a new beginning.The weather was getting colder, and the orchids in the courtyard had begun to bud. It was expected that they would bloom in a few days, but this year, they bloomed early. Frederick said it was an auspicious sign.Ryan could now get out of bed, but he could only walk a few steps before needing to return and lie down again.The Duke of Northwatch's household was also busily preparing for the wedding. The bridal gown had been in production since the engagement day, entrusted to the embroiderers of Enchanted Boutique. In the capital, many prominen

In the evening, Rafael came to visit Ryan. His words of comfort were more effective than those of Rowan or Carissa.Rafael's reassurance was simple and direct: "A true man must learn the way of patience and endurance."Upon hearing this, Ryan immediately felt at ease, accepting the treatment calmly and obediently.Rafael spent half an hour with him, practicing writing. Ryan's handwriting had improved significantly. The flexibility of his fingers had increased, and his progress was gratifying.Clearly, Ryan was quite talkative. While Rafael accompanied him, he asked numerous questions, all trivial and conversational in nature.Rafael patiently answered every question, no matter how inconsequential.After a while, Carissa instructed the staff to prepare dinner and invited Rafael to stay for the evening meal.Rafael now occasionally dined at Northwatch Estate. Lily had figured out his food preferences—he wasn't particularly fond of sweets but could tolerate them, and he wasn't keen

The elderly woman wore a stone-blue brocade coat with cloud patterns, and held a small metal hot water bottle. She appeared to be in her fifties, with streaks of gray in her hair, which was neatly styled in an immaculate updo. Her demeanor exuded a sense of authority and respect.In contrast, her daughter was dressed simply. Beneath a white fur coat, she wore an apricot-yellow gown. In her twenties, she was quite beautiful, but her face carried a faint, melancholic air. Without the touch of color in her dress, her overall demeanor might have seemed even more aged than her mother’s.After inviting them to sit, Carissa explained, "A few days ago, Ryan was undergoing treatment when you sent the invitation, Madam Prince. I was unable to meet with you then and was worried about being impolite, so I asked someone to decline on our behalf. Now that he is much better, I wanted to invite you both to the residence and express my gratitude for your concern for Ryan."Evelyn inquired, "How is t

After seeing off Evelyn and Viola, Carissa sat in the living room for a while, lost in thought.What was Barrett's attitude towards this marriage? Wasn't he only in love with Aurora? Carissa remembered how Aurora had once come to her with such haughty disdain. How would Aurora feel now, knowing that a new lady of the house had appeared so soon? Would she think that her earlier arrogance was utterly laughable?Although Viola wasn’t the easiest person to deal with, she was from the Earl of Silverston's family, making her the most suitable choice for managing the household. Moreover, Rebecca would likely be very pleased with this daughter-in-law. Even though it was Viola's second marriage, the substantial dowry and the capable family background were qualities that Rebecca appreciated. She had always favored a daughter-in-law from a strong family.Aurora had said she would not engage in disputes with women, but would she still contest this new arrangement? Would she become the ver

As Charlotte was about to leave, Carissa asked Lily to bring her a jar of royal jelly.Charlotte had a persistent cough that flared up in cold weather. In the past, Carissa had frequently sent her jars of royal jelly.Charlotte initially declined, but Carissa used Charlotte’s own words to counter, "If you refuse, it's as if you're rejecting my goodwill. In that case, I can't accept your gifts either."Saying this, she signaled Lily to return the gold bracelets."Oh, fine." Charlotte quickly took the royal jelly. "I keep taking your things—I've lost all sense of shame.""You stood by me during my hardest times, and I remember that in my heart," Carissa said, taking Charlotte's arm and walking her to the door.When the Duke of Northwatch's family was annihilated, though the first branch of the Warren family offered condolences, it was merely in words. Only Charlotte truly stayed by Carissa's side.Charlotte knew Carissa had trouble eating and sleeping, so she made some calming tea
