Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 400

In the past, Augustus had been very fond of Chloe. By extension, he had also cared deeply for Eleanor.

While Ruth was raising Eleanor, Augustus showered them with continuous gifts and rewards.

Now, Ruth had become the grand concubine of Augustus‘ concubines. Compared to Sigmund’s concubines, they were nearly inconsequential. Their primary concern was merely to continue living. Those of lower status who had not borne children were either consigned to be buried with the deceased or sent to nunneries.

In terms of seniority, Augustus‘ concubines were indeed among the oldest in the palace. Unfortunately, seniority did not hold much weight in the harem.

Sigmund had sent Yuvan to his fief, but he had kept Ruth in the palace as a way to restrain Yuvan.

Over the years, Yuvan seemed to lack ability. He was foolish and infatuated with beautiful women, leading to him abandoning his wife for a concubine.

So, Salvador had considered granting Yuvan a favor by allowing him to bring Ruth to Horizon Estate. He planned to issue the edict after New Year’s Eve.

However, upon hearing about Avis passing, Salvador was displeased and decided to postpone this matter. After all, Eleanor was also considered Ruth’s daughter, and it would be appropriate for Eleanor to fulfill her duties as a daughter.

Yuvan, accompanied by his family, took their leave and went to visit Ruth in her residence. Coincidentally, Eleanor was there as well.

Ruth’s hair was streaked with gray, and she was overjoyed to see her son return. After they had all exgbanged formalities, she eagerly summoned her family to her side and inquired about their wellbeing.

Yuvan then approached Eleanor. “Eleanor, it has been a long time.”

The step–siblings were born just two days apart, in the same year and month.

Eleanor replied, “It has been two or three years since you last returned to the capital, hasn’t it?”

“Yes. The last time I returned was because my late wife was handling the marriage of that Sinclair girl,” Yuvan said, his gaze growing cold and distant, no longer as pleasant as before.

Upon hearing about Carissa, Eleanor grabbed her cloak and slowly walked out. Yuvan followed closely behind.

“What’s wrong? Are you also displeased with that girl, Eleanor?”

“Not just dislike. I practically wish I could peel off her skin and pull out her tendons,” Eleanor said coldly.

Yuvan seemed thoughtful. “She is Hector’s daughter.”

At the mention of Hector, Eleanor’s eyes flashed with intense hatred. The rage surged through her, causing a sharp, dull ache to spread through her limbs and body.

“That’s in the post. Remembering is enough. There’s no need to dwell on it too deeply, lest you hurt

“Hurt?” Eleanor sneered. “For him? Not at all! Everyone from the Sinclair family should have died, but they’ve resurfaced. Carissa even married Rafael and is enjoying such glory. It’s truly irritating”
