Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1015

Yuvan returned to the study.

There, Wayne set down the scroll he was reading and rose to his feet. "Your Highness, why did Violet come? Has Lady Molly spoken to her?"

Yuvan's voice was laced with disdain as he said, "She's a fool. She's associating with Jessica in secret, and even went against Carissa just to help Jessica."

Wayne shook his head. "Your Highness, marrying her was a mistake. She has no standing in the Spencer family. Even the head of the Spencer family is unwilling to engage with you for her sake. She's of no help at all."

"How was I supposed to know she was this stupid?" Yuvan muttered, sitting down.

His eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint.

"Violet is a hundred times better than her. When she came today and slapped Molly, she warned her and left—sharp, decisive, and without hesitation. Watching her, I felt a deep regret. If I had married her, not only would I have gained the full support of the Spencer family, but I'd also have an invaluable ally. She would be worth more to me than so many others."

"Your Highness, we're surrounded by enemies on all sides. You must tread carefully and avoid provoking anyone from Hell Monarch Estate for now," Wayne said cautiously.

However, Yuvan was lost in his thoughts, consumed by his plans. "Molly is useless. She should step aside and let someone more capable take her place."

Wayne was startled. "Your Highness, you can't possibly mean… That's unthinkable! Violet is a wild mare, impossible to tame. She's a force of nature, not someone you can control."

"Wayne, I have no choice. Without Eleanor, it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to make progress in the capital. Molly is useless, and Fiona isn't my primary wife so the noble ladies of the capital won't associate with her. But Violet has connections here, and she's close friends with Carissa. If I marry Violet, Carissa would certainly turn a blind eye to our actions out of consideration of their friendship."

Wayne shook his head. "Your Highness, you're thinking too simplistically. The same strategy can have vastly different outcomes depending on the people involved. If your heart is unsettled, you'll only become impatient and rash. You need to calm down and look for a better way forward. Otherwise, you might as well give up."

Yuvan's voice rose suddenly, filled with frustration as he snapped, "I can't give up! I've worked for years to get here! How could I just walk away?!"

He took a few deep breaths to steady himself.
