Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1013

Since their arrival in the capital, Yuvan had repeatedly asked Molly to make contact with Violet. Though they hadn't been in touch for years, they were blood relatives. The more they interacted, the more their familial bond would naturally grow.

Carissa couldn't compare to that.

Little did Yuvan know, Molly was incompetent and fond of throwing temper tantrums. After a few failed attempts at connecting with Violet, she was unwilling to continue and claimed her cousin was judgmental. She also said that as she was now a princess consort, she wouldn't stand for such nonsense. Besides, if the two were to rekindle their relationship, Violet should be the one to make the first move and come to her.

This attitude baffled and angered Yuvan. To get to the bottom of things, he sent someone to investigate whether there had been any hidden bad blood between the two cousins.

He learned that there was nothing. When they were younger, they had gotten along well enough. It wasn't until Violet joined the Inferno Guild to study martial arts that they lost contact.

In Yuvan's view, this was a relationship that could easily be mended.

No matter Violet's reason for visiting, this was the perfect opportunity to repair their bond. Thus, he quickly sent someone to fetch Molly. Before long, she arrived at the study with her maid, Plum, in tow.

She looked pleased and curtsied. "You called for me, Your Highness?"

Yuvan watched her perform the same casual, unrefined curtsy she always did. After being married into the royal family for so long, she still hadn't shown any interest in learning proper etiquette. Her days were spent squabbling with the concubines, and she was always vying for his attention.

Yuvan suppressed his irritation and said, "Your cousin, Violet, has come to see you. I've already sent someone to invite her to the main hall. I want you to join me shortly. While she's here, you'll host her for dinner. Take this chance to catch up and improve your relationship. Don't be disrespectful—she's a guest, understand?"

Molly was excited when she first heard Yuvan had summoned her to the study, since she was never allowed to enter. Only Fiona had that privilege.

However, her excitement quickly faded when she discovered that it was because of Violet's arrival. Molly found her cousin insufferable and haughty. Violet didn't respect her even though she was now a princess consort.

"Did you hear me?" Yuvan pressed.

Molly finally composed herself and replied, "Yes, I understand."
