Her Majestic Battle Cry 637
Chapter 637
Leona’s body remained weak. She knew she had lost her baby. Even before the delivery, she had felt the loss
when Sebastian arrived. She held back her tears in front of Carissa and refused to cry. But after they settled in
the estate, Leona buried her head and wept quietly once her cousin stepped out of the room.
Violet wanted to go in and comfort her, but Carissa stopped her and shook her head. “Any consolation now will
feel hollow. She needs to endure this on her own.”
Spains were so deep that comfort would do nothing but stir up more tears, memories, and heartache.
Claire cto report that Molly and Fiona had gone to Silverstone Estate. After hearing this, Violet informed
Carissa, who was startled as she suddenly recalled Zoey’s visit yesterday.
The day had felt so long that it almost seemed like the visit had happened ages ago.
*Keep an eye on them within permissible limits. Don’t draw too much attention,” Carissa instructed.
“Don’t worry, Claire and the others know how to handle things discreetly. Winona trained them, after all,” Violet

Carissa nodded, then went to see Alan and Leah.
“Now, Leona’s divorce is inevitable. | originally asked you to care for her until she gave birth and said it wouldn't
take too long. Now that she has given birth and left Gracehold Estate, do you want to return to Meadow Ridge or
stay with her a little longer?” Carissa asked.
Her eyes filled with sorrow and self-reproach, Alana replied, “I've already sent a letter to our master and told her
we won't be returning to Meadow Ridge for a while. We failed to protect the duchess. | shouldn't have gone in to
get the cloak yesterday.
“I never expected Samuel to be so cunning. He never mentioned wanting the duchess’ help to restore his official
position. He only ever cto try and get into her good graces, and we thought he was trying to turn over a
new leaf. That was my mistake and my fault. So, I'll stay with Lady Leona during this difficult
time.”
“Don’t blyourself, Alana. You can prepare for many situations, but you can’t prevent everything. You and
Leah have done your best. If it weren't for you, Leona would have faced far worse.”
“There's no need to comfort us, Carissa. You also don’t have to pay us. We feel unworthy of it. We'll only leave
once the duchess has healed, regained her strength, and can smile again.”
“I can't"
“Those in the martial world keep their promises,” Alana said, then turned to head into the kitchen.
She couldn't leave the task of preparing Leona’s medicine to anyone else. Ivy was already working hard. enough,

Violet, who was more interested in Molly's visit to Silverstone Estate, decided to check in with Carissa again.
‘Should we ask Claire to gather sinformation? It could be risky, though.
Carissa shook her head. “No, we shouldn't take any unnecessary risks. We see the bigger picture. It's all

of her family currently away, she’ll have to look for assistance, and I'm her best option.”

Violet nodded. “That's true. Zoey is holding up the entire Earl of Silverstone’s household right now. Caspian is as
good as useless. He's honest and straightforward, but lacks vision.”
“I recall Carmen mentioned that Celeste’s next target is Caspian. Why hasn't there been any news on that
front?” Carissa asked.
“From what Carmen said, Celeste found Casplan to be unsatisfactory. She didn’t want to carry out the task, so
Grand Princess Eleanor taught her a lesson. Maybe she’s injured from that? If she is, she’ll need tto recover.
Or perhaps she’s planning to reappear under a different guise? After all, she used to be a courtesan, so many
people recognize her. Caspian might have even met her before as Ruby.”
Carissa nodded thoughtfully. “That’s possible. It must be tough for Zoey. Just when one issue is settled, another
arises. | hope Caspian can hold his own.”
“He treats his wife pretty well and doesn’t look down on her just because she’s a merchant's daughter,” Violet
remarked, pausing momentarily before continuing. “But then again, you can’t always count on men. They can’t
resist beautiful women, especially someone like Celeste, who knows how to manipulate them.
“It’s hard for most men to hold out ag. nst that. If she tried to charm your husband, she might even know how to
win him over and steal his heart. If that happened, you'd be the one in trouble.”
