Chapter 311

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

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

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?"

Carissa had not been entirely clear when she spoke that day, primarily because it seemed that Viola was quite happy with her match with Barrett.If she had outright said that Barrett was also interested in her dowry, it would only have led to Viola's resentment and suspicion, making her think that Carissa was intentionally slandering him."But my daughter is foolish," Evelyn continued. "When Mrs. Murray came and asked her about this match, Viola agreed without a second thought. It was a marriage we couldn't refuse, and I suspect you understand the reasons behind it."Carissa nodded. "I have a general idea."The crux of the matter was Oliver taking over the Hell Monarch. The king's wish was for Barrett to marry into the Prince family, as this alliance would allow Oliver to promote Barrett. If the Earl of Silverstone's family objected, it was likely that the Hell Monarch Army would change its general. Given that the Earl of Silverstone's family and reputation were already on the de

After leaving the coffeehouse, Carissa was both angry and amused.What was wrong with Viola? How could she believe Serena's words?Carissa understood well enough why Serena had concocted such a story. She knew what had happened at Helen's tea party, and was aware of the details. Serena had her sights set on Rafael and wanted to become his concubine. By spreading these rumors, Serena hoped to create trouble. If Viola believed the rumors and caused a scene, Rafael might ignore or even disdain Carissa if heard what Serena had said.Carissa was certain that Serena thought this way. Viola's nature, to put it kindly, was straightforward. In other words, Viola was rash and easily influenced. It seemed that finding someone to truly manage the Warren family household was no simple task. Given Viola and Aurora's personalities, their future interactions were likely to be tumultuous.Carissa had initially chosen to meet with Viola and speak candidly to avoid further animosity or misunderstan

Chapter 316

Preparations for the banquet had already begun at Northwatch Estate. Since there weren't enough servants in the household, Theodore called some of the younger members of the family to come and help. They brought along some of the family's servants as well.In noble families, when marrying off a daughter, it wasn't customary to host the banquet on the same day as the wedding. Typically, a feast would be held the day before, inviting members of the extended family. Afterward, a three-day-long banquet would be held, allowing the townspeople to partake in the joy and festivities.However, since this was Carissa's second marriage, she didn't bother inviting a local fortune teller to style her hair. Instead, she decided that one of the ladies from Elegance Atelier would handle it on the day.Perhaps it was because her master and the others weren't attending that Carissa seemed indifferent to the pre-wedding rituals.It wasn't that she didn't care about marrying Rafael. She was determined

Carissa accompanied her relatives and friends to watch the theater troupe. Ryan wanted to go, too. Back when he was a beggar, he used to sneak into the theater to beg for food. Sometimes, he would get so engrossed in the performance that he would be caught and beaten before being thrown out.This time, he was able to sit in a proper seat, without any fear of being chased away. His difficult past made him cherish everything he had now.As the music and drums of the performance began, the festive atmosphere grew, and Carissa could feel the joy of the celebration. Her mood lightened a little.After all, one had to move forward in life step by step, no matter what. At least she still had Ryan by her side.Carissa glanced at the program. She'd never been particularly interested in theater performances, so she didn't know much about it. She decided to let Solomon's wife, Emily, choose the performance instead. They enjoyed theater performances, and knew which performances were best su

Jacob's face remained expressionless as he issued an order to the guards. "Escort His Highness back to entertain the guests. He is not to leave the estate until tomorrow evening, when the wedding procession begins. If he leaves before then, all the guards will have their salaries docked for three months."With Jacob's command, the guards all turned their hawk-like eyes to Rafael, forcing him to step back. Slowly, Rafael retreated, getting increasingly further from the entrance.Rafael rolled his eyes. "What are you all trying to do? I just had a bit too much to drink while entertaining the guests. I wanted to go out and get some fresh air to sober up."Jacob gave another order. "Bring a bucket of hangover remedy for the prince!"A whole bucket…?!Rafael glared at Jacob furiously, but Jacob remained unmoved, his heart as hard as a stone. Even if Rafael looked at him like he wanted to gouge his eyes out, it didn't faze Jacob.Luke, who had been running around non-stop, came joggi

Chapter 319

Thinking about all of this, Helen felt a mix of emotions.When Rafael was on the battlefield before this, he would refuse any mention of marriage. The resoluteness he expressed in his letters had led her to believe that this son of hers was prepared to remain a bachelor for life. Yet, as soon as he returned victorious, he announced he wanted to marry Carissa.Granted, Carissa was a divorcee, but at least it meant he was willing to take a wife. Besides, after investigating, they found out that Barrett had never touched her. She was still a virgin, so it was acceptable, if only barely.Accompanied by Gillian, Helen entered the newlywed suite on the eastern side of the building. White wedding banners adorned every wall, and new furniture was draped in white silk, tied with intricate decorative knots. The intricate knots were a traditional wedding touch, and they were called Eternal Knots, which represent eternal love and harmonious union.Nearly every new item had a white ribbon on

Helen thought it over, and realized that it made sense. Even though Rafael was on the battlefield at the time, if he had truly wanted to stop the marriage, it shouldn't have been too difficult, right?But she failed to consider the vast distances involved. Even if Carissa had married and had children, Rafael might not have known about it. She also didn't realize the dangers he faced on the battlefield, where he was focused on winning the war. He had assumed Melanie would keep her promise, so he didn't worry about it and only wanted to secure victory and return to the capital as quickly as possible.Unaware of these details, Helen simply felt that having Carissa as her daughter-in-law was a blemish on her otherwise perfect life. Her emotions were conflicted. She was happy that her son was getting married, but unhappy that he was marrying Carissa.-Meanwhile, preparations were also underway at Valor Estate and Silverstone Estate for tomorrow's grand event.This would be Barrett's
