Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1215

Before the palace banquet, Carissa sat with Victoria, spent time with Grace, sat with Penelope, and then took a walk in the Royal Garden with several grand princesses, including Kiera and Meredith.

Today, Meredith wore a bright red embroidered gown with a white dove pattern. With her powdered face and rouge, she looked even more noble. Holding a fan to cover her face, she smiled and said, "I heard that after the formal complaint about the Quinton family was submitted, Lord Gerald quickly gathered the family and severely punished the fourth branch, saying that all this trouble was caused by them."

As Victoria's daughter, Meredith held a respected position among the royal family. The other princesses always followed her lead. When Meredith spoke of the Quinton family, everyone else agreed. Even Henrietta laughed along.

Henrietta was Josephine's daughter and a granddaughter of the Quinton family. However, she had long since distanced herself from the family. Her husband Vance advised that, given the immense power of the Quinton family, it was best for both princesses and princes to maintain some distance and avoid forming too many alliances with them.

The Quinton family's influence was so great that it could lead to undesirable consequences, so keeping a proper distance was wise.

People often said that Vance was a "kept man," managing the estate and shops for Henrietta. However, Henrietta knew her husband was capable and sharp. He just chose not to show it, as he preferred a quiet and stable life.

Today, Sylvia was in the spotlight. Since Kylie was confined to her quarters, Sylvia stayed by Salvador's side as he oversaw the ceremony for the celebrations today. Afterward, she joined the others to chat and watch the performance.

Grace also brought the second prince with her, while the third prince went off to play for a while before returning to watch the show with her. Although the third prince wasn't Grace's biological son, he was very attached to her. At a young age, he only knew how to act cute and make everyone laugh.

In contrast, the second prince, though young, was already displaying a calm and respectful demeanor. He greeted the ladies before quietly sitting by Grace, pouring a drink for her with great care. Everyone praised him for his maturity.

Because Kylie was confined to her quarters, Connor didn't attend to watch the performance. It was said that he had offended his teacher and was being punished with extra assignments. Salvador had ordered that Connor finish his punishment before the palace banquet.

Salvador didn't have many new concubines in his palace, and the few that were there had a hard time standing out. He was different from Sigmund, who liked to take the daughters of officials as wives and use the harem to secure his rule. As the current king, it was clear Salvador didn't prefer that approach.

While watching the play, a noblewoman came over to greet the consorts. Carissa had never seen her before, but from a distance, she could tell that this woman was exceptionally beautiful, with skin as smooth and fair as snow.

She sat next to Carissa, offering a bashful smile. "I've heard for a while that you're as brave as a man, and today I see it's true, Your Grace."

She really didn't seem good at conversation. After just one sentence, her face turned red.

Carissa smiled politely and nodded. "You flatter me, Lady Jeanette."

Brave as a man? Was Jeanette talking about her appearance? It must have been about her looks. What else could it be, with only her appearance visible?

Carissa found it odd, but since she didn't want to interact too much with the palace concubines, she decided to acknowledge the comment and leave it at that.
