Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1329

Strangely, the movements that had been occurring every night suddenly stopped.

Violet and her group went to investigate, only to find that the Willowbrook Estate was eerily quiet. There wasn't a single patrol guard, and the servants had all gone to bed early.

Everyone had a strange feeling that something was wrong with Willowbrook Estate. It seemed like it was covered by a thin veil. If they could just lift it, they would see what was really going on.

The problem was, where was this veil?

It felt close, yet far away. They couldn't figure out the right approach.

Meanwhile, Hayden continued his usual routine—eating, drinking, and occasionally going out. He would take Violet and the others with him to dine, drink, listen to music, watch plays, and sip a little wine. Then, he would return home in a slightly tipsy state as the evening sun set.

His days were nothing but leisure, completely unaffected by the turmoil at court or the wars beyond. He often boasted to Gordon and Sonny, "The life I'm living is far more comfortable than the king's."

Gordon would always smile and agree, "You're right, Your Highness."

However, Violet felt that living in the estate hadn't allowed her to uncover anything of note. Days were spent following Hayden from one indulgence to the next, and she had gained two pounds in the process. It felt like wasted time, with no progress on the matters at hand.

Looking back, Violet thought that Hayden's invitation to stay might have just been a polite gesture. Maybe she and Carissa had overthought it. At present, Violet didn't feel that Hayden wanted to use her or needed any help from her.

She discussed with Bun and Cynthia the idea of returning to Hell Monarch Estate.

However, Bun remained suspicious of the things at Willowbrook Estate. "We haven't even figured out the food issue yet. Also, do you remember when we arrived, there were a lot of people moving around outside? Where did they all go? Doesn't it feel like something is happening right under our noses, but we can't see it?"

Cynthia rested her chin on her hand and frowned in thought. "But we haven't found anything, and Prince Hayden hasn't said anything to us. We're just here to eat and drink."

"Now it's like we can't leave, but we also can't stay," Bun said. "It feels like there's something here, and we won't feel right if we don't figure it out."

Violet suddenly looked up at Bun, her expression sharp. "If it seems like there's something, could it be that someone wants us to see it on purpose? The flaws are too obvious, but after it was exposed, they've patched everything up, not letting us see anything."
