Her Majestic Battle Cry 668
Chapter 668
Jacob brought over a little rabbit figurine that looked like it had seen better days. It was rough around the edges
and had one ear broken off, clearly not something bought from a shop.

making a mistake, and couldn’t go out to play. | was supposed to have the servants buy her one, but my dad
didn’t allow it as part of her punishment.
“So, | secretly made this one out of clay and baked it at home. After it was baked, | painted it, but the colors
have faded over time. When she got it, she seemed to dislike it and dropped it on the ground. That's when one
of the ears broke off.”
Jacob's voice trembled, and his eyes glistened with unshed tears.
“She didn't like this figurine at all. She seemed almost offended by it, and cried. | thought if she felt that strongly
about it, it must have left an impression.”
Violet looked at the shabby rabbit figurine, its faded paint and broken ear making it quite the someone gave me

“Exactly. Things are either deeply loved or utterly despised, and both kinds stick in your memory,” Jacob said,
reluctantly handing the rabbit figurine to Violet. “I have sother toys from her childhood, but they’re all too
ordinary-things anyone would have. This one is one of a kind.”
“One of a kind? That would just makecry even louder.” Violet accepted it with sdisdain.
Seriously, it really couldn't get any uglier. Even its features were all muddled.
Jacob shot her a hurt glance. “Don’t say that. | hadn't learned how to make these before. It was my first
attempt.”
*And you burned the back of it.” Violet turned it over in her hands. “Actually, the whole thing is black. You just
covered it in paint, right? You must've had to touch it up later?”
Jacob shrugged, looking a bit embarrassed. “The colors kept fading, so | had to keep adding more. | haven't done
it in two or three years. But if she sees it, I'm sure she'll recognize it.”
“Okay then.” Violet glanced at Carissa, who turned her face away just in tto catch Rafael’s heated
gaze.
He exclaimed cheerfully, “Just like your embroidery back then-it’s unique!”
Violet couldn't help but laugh. “I was just thinking that her embroidery is ugly, and she doesn’t even realize
Kyle stepped in and said firmly, “No one can do everything perfectly. Our junior guild member here has the best
martial arts talent in the Pathfinders Guild. If any of you have special skills or abilities, feel free to show them off
so | can see what you're made of.”
When he finished speaking, he shot a cold glance at Rafael.
Rafael was stunned. He hadn't called Carissa’s embroidery ugly. That was Violet!
Violet quickly changed the subject. “Jacob, tellsfun stories about you and your sister from when

Jacob had plenty to share as he reminisced about the past. His father was a seventh-ranked county chief in
Cloud County, and his family had a long tradition of valuing both farming and education. His mother was the
daughter of a scholar, and the four of them lived a comfortable life.

However, Cloud County was plagued by poverty and chaos, with bandits and thieves causing unrest. His father
took it upon himself to lead the local officials and guards to hunt down the bandits. After more than ten
attempts, he finally drove them away and restored peace and order to Cloud County.
When Jacob was five, his mother gave birth to his sister. Their grandfather was overjoyed, declaring that the
family was blessed with both a son and a daughter. Their grandfather taught at a local academy.
Upon turning seven, Jacob joined the academy as well, However, he didn't live there. He traveled back and forth
with his grandfather, so he spent a lot of twith his little sister.
They were a happy family until a storm of tragedy struck when his sister turned seven. On a sunny day, she was
playing with the other children outside their alley when two strangers abducted her, along with the daughter of
the county official.
The men were quick. They grabbed the girls, and jumped into a carriage before the frightened children could
react. The remaining children were terrified. They scattered and ran home, too scared to tell anyone what had
happened.
It was only at nightfall, when the two girls didn’t return home, that both families started searching frantically for
them. They only found out the girls had been taken when they spoke to the children who had been playing with
them.
By then, hours had passed, and the two girls were long gone from Cloud County. Even if they sent someone to
chase after the kidnappers, it would be futile. Furthermore, they had no idea which direction. the kidnappers had
fled.
