Chapter 331

Upon entering Hell Monarch Estate, Carissa was immediately overwhelmed by a cacophony of voices, all calling out congratulations and well-wishes. Some of the voices were familiar, while others were unfamiliar.Among them was Eleanor's annoying voice.Oh, Jessica was present too—how irritating.Her wedding was becoming a mess.Kyle was the center of attention, outshining Carissa as the bride. But it didn't matter, because Violet had quietly approached and taken her friend's hand."Guess who?""You're so childish! You're Rod!" Carissa joked with a laugh."If you say so," Violet replied, chuckling. "Rod is probably in the side hall. After all, he's part of your dowry."Carissa chuckled too, feeling less anxious.She had no idea what the procedures were. She was just standing there, listening to them set up a table and other things. Her mind wandered. Why were they setting up a table? Were she and Rafael supposed to swear brotherhood here?That was so funny.Well, it wasn't actu

Once the white veil was lifted, the matchmaker promptly removed it.The couple's eyes met, and each saw a breathtaking beauty in the other. In that moment, both held their breath.Rafael's heart raced faster. He couldn't tear his gaze away from his bride's face. She was the most beautiful person he had ever seen—like a fairy hidden beneath a rose tree.Carissa gazed at Rafael with bright eyes, noting that he looked even more handsome than before. The griffin patterns on his ceremonial robes showed his high status. The usual coldness in his noble presence was absent, with only warmth and tenderness present in his eyes. Standing tall and graceful, he seemed like a divine being.Both of them blushed and remained transfixed, reluctant to break eye contact.Some things were wondrous—they both felt it in that shared gaze.The matchmaker spoke up, "Your Highnesses, the ladies outside are here to receive their blessing gifts and share in your joy."That Carissa snapped out of her reveri

Talking bad about one's own master and others' masters was something they did without any pressure.Carissa raised her hand, sending her attendants out to stand guard at the door.Violet, who was never one to hold back, said, "We've been here for two days, but we weren't allowed to enter the city. It was your master's order. We had to stay at a small inn in a town outside the city. There were so many thieves in that town. Fortunately, we had enough martial experts among us, so the dowry was safe."Two days ago was when Kyle had left. He probably did it to meet up with Adrian outside the city."But your master brought Winona into the city every day, from morning until evening. We don't know what news they were gathering. Today, we waited outside the city around noon. When we saw that your dowry was about to depart, we hurried in," Violet continued, adding, "I've never been so flustered, but it was also quite thrilling. It felt like we were at the center of attention of the entire ci

Chapter 334

Hell Monarch Estate was bustling with activity today. Most officials and military officers of the fourth rank and above were there. Those who weren’t present were either at Silverstone Estate or Valor Estate.However, the main topic of conversation at Hell Monarch Estate wasn't Carissa, the new princess consort, but rather the group of martial artists led by Adrian. His presence alone was enough to spark private whispers and speculation.Who was Adrian Russell?The Russell family had once been a powerful family in the capital, but they eventually withdrew from the circles of power to establish their own guild. Some insightful individuals claimed that, although there was no formal leader of the martial arts world, Adrian's position was essentially equivalent to that of a leader.Why?Because Adrian was both wealthy and highly skilled.His combat skills were exceptional—one could only guess at the extraordinary experiences that had honed his abilities to such a level.As for his w

After three rounds of toasts, Adrian and the apprentices from the Pathfinders Guild stood up to offer their own. It wasn't just Adrian whom people were impressed by—even if only Kyle were present, their presence commanded respect. When they came to make toasts, even the prime minister stood up to reciprocate.Trevor was the one who had initially secured this marriage, so Adrian toasted him. Adrian drank the entire cup, while Trevor only took a small sip, which was enough to show his respect as the royal chancellor. Also, considering his health, excessive drinking wouldn't be advisable.Carissa's eyes reddened as she watched the Pathfinders Guild members rise to make toasts.They were undoubtedly there to support her. Even though the occasion was hosted by Rafael's household, the Pathfinders Guild members wanted to show everyone that this place would also be Carissa's in the future.Though such customs were not typically observed in high-society marriages, they were martial artists.

Standing to the side, Jessica smiled as she said, "Mom, that won't do. If Carissa questions us later and blames Aunt Helen, wouldn't it be... Oh, never mind, Aunt Helen wouldn't dare."The mother and daughter duo were clearly manipulating Helen, whose "innocence" bordered on frightening, making her particularly susceptible to provocations.Helen immediately responded, "It's just a few Mystic Pearls. Do you think she'll really get angry at me?"Earlier, she had worried about Carissa's powerful backing and how she might struggle as a mother-in-law. But now, after a few words, she felt emboldened. Her concern seemed to have evaporated.Helen rose from her seat, chin held high. Gillian accompanied her as she made her way to the side hall.Outside, the guests were still enjoying the banquet and making toasts. There were only a few guards watching over the wedding gifts. After all, the guests in the residence were of high status, none of whom would dare to commit petty theft.It was Ja

Jacob didn't make a fuss. It was Rafael's wedding day, so everything else had to take a backseat.What was Helen thinking? How could she take items from her daughter-in-law's dowry and give them to someone else? Was such behavior even possible for a rational person?Jacob sighed. He couldn't understand how an honored concubine like Helen, who seemed so "innocent," could have given birth to such a wise and perceptive son like Rafael.-Carissa had only gone through one round of toasts when Rafael took her to their new suite. As the groom, Rafael couldn't leave the banquet so quickly and would have to return soon. Even now, as Carissa watched him leave after he escorted her back to the suite, her hand still seemed to hold the warmth of his touch.The room was warmed by a brazier, providing a cozy comfort that seeped into her very heart.It turned out that matters of the heart couldn't be controlled. Carissa tried to restrain her emotions, but was helpless to stop them from sinking

Lily applied the cream to Carissa's other hand, her brows furrowing slightly to hide the sadness in her eyes."When you initially returned to discuss your marriage, you were met with a sea of suitors. Many noble families came to seek your hand."Carissa nodded. "I know about that.""Yes, but there is something you may not know. At that time, you hadn't yet returned from Meadow Ridge," Lily continued, gently rubbing the cream into Carissa's hand.Lily sighed softly. "Back then, the news of the duke and the young masters' deaths reached us. The battlefield needed a general, so the Hell Monarch was appointed as the Grand Marshal to reclaim the Southern Frontier."Carissa withdrew her hand, rubbing it herself, her gaze lowering as her eyelashes grew damp. "I know all this, Lily. You don't need to tell me."Talking about her father and brothers made her heart ache deeply."Listen to what I have to say to the end," Lily said, fighting back tears, knowing she couldn't let a single tear

After Lily finished speaking, a maid entered with a bowl of steaming chicken noodle soup. Carissa had been hungry moments before, but now, seeing the hot soup, she suddenly lost her appetite."You should eat. Your mother, watching from above, would be very happy to see you marrying Prince Rafael today. I promise you that," Lily said gently.Carissa's tears fell into the broth as she held the bowl of soup.Choking up, she said, "This phoenix crown is so heavy... It's causing me such pain in my neck that I feel like crying."Trying to hold back her own tears, Lily wiped Carissa's tears away but understood that a new bride could cry if she wished."Silly girl, finish your soup, then we'll remove the crown, change your clothes, and help you take a bath. Tonight, there's much celebration outside. Prince Rafael probably won't return to the suite until after midnight."Carissa took a few spoonfuls of the soup, her sobs softening. "Where's the dagger he sent? Didn't Mom give him a token

In preparation for her marriage, Carissa had acquired numerous new outfits.Along with the engagement gifts from Rafael, her collection included many pieces of luxurious brocade and cloud satin. Her trunk was filled with clothing for every season—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—all in varying colors and with exquisite embroidery. There was even a separate trunk for fox fur and heavy cloaks.Looking at the engagement gifts and dowry items now, she felt she had more than enough clothing for a lifetime. The garments she wore today and those freshly arranged in her wardrobe were intended for the coming days. They were mostly vibrant in color but remained elegant rather than gaudy.Carissa found that blue hues suited her exceptionally well.The outfit she wore tonight was a gentle shade of blue. Not a dark blue, but rather light blue with a hint of lavender, which highlighted her snow-like skin and complemented her beauty mark.The outer layer made of cloud satin was incredibly soft
