Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 722

When Violet woke up, the first thing she heard was that Carissa was about to join court as an official.

Carissa would actually become the commander of the Mystic Army and oversee the Capital Guard, the Garrison Unit, the Royal Guard, and the Crown Guard.

Violet felt like she was in a dream. She gasped several times before rubbing her eyes and asking, "Are you really going to be a government dog?"

Carissa chuckled. "Are you talking about being a corrupt government official? Why can't I be a good one?"

"Then, you must be a righteous official!" Violet propped herself up on her elbow, tapping her chin with her finger. "Alright, you can definitely be a righteous official."

Carissa remembered the times they had ventured through the martial world together. Back then, like all martial artists, they looked down on local officials, especially those known for their corruption. Those officials were often referred to as "government dogs".

Of course, they had also encountered righteous officials who were honest and stood up for the people—true parental figures for their communities. They held great respect for those individuals.

It was a pity their journey had lasted only a short time. They had been caught and brought back, and Everett had even locked Carissa up for half a month.

Thinking back on their Meadow Ridge adventures made Carissa's smile brightly with nostalgia.

"You're going to be an official, but you're smiling so brilliantly," Violet said, her eyes suddenly misting with emotion.

It had been long since she had seen Carissa smile like that.

"It's not just because I'm going to be an official. It's because I no longer have to adhere to the rigid expectations of being a virtuous woman. I can step out into the world. I feel much freer; there are so many things I can do now," Carissa said, her eyes twinkling with delight.

Violet nodded. "That's true. I felt so frustrated watching you interact with those noble ladies before. You were smiling without showing your teeth. I felt like prying your mouth open!"
