Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1185

Carissa left the academy with Zoey. Instead of riding her own horse, she had someone lead it while she sat in Zoey's carriage.

Carissa had two things to tell her.

First, she said, "Isaac selected some goods that weren't of the best quality and sold them. The money from the sales wasn't converted to banknotes, and it's all been stored in the cellar at Glimmering Tower."

"It's what the Earl of Silverstone's family owes him. He should feel free to spend it. I've put some aside as well, just in case," Zoey softly replied.

"He won't spend it. He doesn't need the money," Carissa said.

Then, she moved on to the second topic, explaining, "As for Celeste, His Majesty has confirmed her identity. He knows she's taken a woman from Lunvale as her godmother. As for the surname Spencer, it's from a branch of the Spencer family in Ebonflow. They do business in Lunvale as well.

"The person you found out she was conspiring with is likely from the Spencer family. It would be better if His Majesty moved against them. But if he doesn't, your family could become entangled in a more dangerous and difficult situation."

Carissa withheld key details, such as the investigation into the private army in Lunvale. These were things that couldn't be revealed.

She only offered this information to prepare Zoey. If Oliver changed his mind now, the Earl of Silverstone's family could still find a way to avoid the worst outcome. At most, they would lose their noble title, but that wouldn't be the worst case. It all depended on whether Zoey could manage to change Oliver's mind.

After hearing this, Zoey just nodded silently without saying anything.

With that, Carissa knew Zoey had done her best, but Oliver hadn't listened to her. She patted Zoey's hand but didn't offer any comforting words. She got off the carriage halfway and rode back to her residence.

Some things changed so gradually that people ended up accepting them without even realizing it.

For example, when Carissa used to ride through the streets in official attire, the common people would stare at her with all kinds of looks. But now, it seemed they'd gotten used to it, and some even greeted her with a smile. They had accepted such an unconventional princess consort, but still hadn't fully accepted such an unconventional woman.
