Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 617

Carissa laughed, and said, "What's the rush? Your godbrother will be here soon. There's someone interested in him who wants to know his feelings, but he's already turned her down. This time, they're inviting him to clarify whether he's truly not interested or if he just has no plans to marry."

Violet's eyes brightened, and she hurried inside. "Really? Which girl has such good taste to fancy my godbrother? Come on, spill it!"

"The granddaughter of Mr. Young, Rosalind." Carissa shushed her quickly. "Don't spread this around. It might not lead anywhere."

"It's her?" Violet shot up from her seat, shock written all over her face. "Is my godbrother out of his mind? Rosalind Young! Why did he refuse? She's such a catch—gracious, loyal, talented, and stunning. Families would be fighting over her!"

"Keep it down," Carissa snapped, shooting her a glare.

Violet sat back down, a huge grin on her face. "I'm just so excited! But does Ms. Young really like him? It couldn't be just a passing fancy, could it?"

"That's what worries me. I suspect your godbrother…" Carissa paused, then added, "By the way, you haven't made it official with Thomas' mother, and here you are calling him godbrother. Doesn't that seem a bit inappropriate?"

Violet waved her hand dismissively. "In the martial world, there's no such thing as inappropriate! We're just waiting for the right moment, you know? I've even gone to pay my respects to my godmother. You should have seen her face—she was so happy to have me as her goddaughter!"

"But you already have brothers. Why must you insist on calling Thomas your godbrother?"

Carissa was puzzled. Violet had never truly been interested in anyone, as she had high standards. The only reason they shared this bond was that they had grown up together.

Violet swung her feet back and forth in her chair. "It's about finding a connection."

She wouldn't admit it, but she longed for the kind of respectful brothers that Carissa had—one or many would do.

Before long, Thomas arrived.

The people who went to get him were efficient, and Thomas had grown accustomed to a brisk pace. He never lingered when it came to business.

However, he hadn't anticipated that Rafael would summon him regarding his marriage.
