Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 424

Carissa sighed in relief. She had been worried that if she mentioned wanting to hit Viola, Leah and Alana might start a fight if they encountered something displeasing at Gracehold Estate.

She believed the two young women would understand the limits.

Carissa found Viola's behavior quite baffling. To be honest, she hadn't wronged Viola much. So why the intense hatred?

However, after a bit of thought, she realized it was probably because Rebecca had spoken ill of her in front of Viola. It seemed that Rebecca harbored a deep resentment toward her marriage into the royal family.

Yet, Viola had once been a wife in the Farrell family. With such an open-minded and far-sighted man like her late husband, Thomas, why had she learned nothing from him?

Upon arriving at Gracehold Estate, Abigail hurried to welcome them into the sitting room. She felt a bit anxious, especially since Samuel had caused a scene at Hell Monarch Estate a few days ago. She was worried someone from Rafael's household might come to seek retribution.

After waiting for a few days without anyone coming to pay them a visit, she was suddenly alarmed when informed that the Hell Monarch's princess consort had arrived. Her heart jumped to her throat.

Her concern was that while her son's career seemed bright, there were rumors that the Oversight Department was preparing to bring charges against him. If the people from Rafael's household also came to demand justice, the Oversight Department might use this as an opportunity to flood the court with accusations against Samuel.

The Oversight Department was known for acting quickly on such matters. But this time, despite several days of deliberation, they hadn’t yet submitted their formal complaint. The delay had made Abigail increasingly anxious.

Abigail felt uneasy, and began with an apology, "A few days ago, my son acted thoughtlessly and caused a disturbance at the royal residence. I am here to apologize on his behalf. Please don't take his behavior to heart."

This time, Carissa's attitude was less forgiving than before.

"Your son is well-educated and comes from a noble family. He even achieved the honor of being one of the top scholars through the national examination. However, his youth and success have led him to be arrogant and dismissive of others, which will surely lead to trouble and ruin his future."

Abigail's expression stiffened. "Yes, Your Grace. Your words are very true."
