Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1016

Looking slightly impatient, Yuvan said, “Celeste has become Oliver’s favorite, but he still hasn’t won the support of his troops. That’s something that can’t be rushed. As for Westhaven, we’ll need to plot and wait. We can’t just sit idly. Molly is useless, so we’ll replace her with Violet.

“I don’t agree with what you said earlier. Both Molly and Carissa are princess consorts, and I refuse to believe Violet isn’t interested in becoming one too. A woman like her, with such pride, would be even more eager to climb the social ladder. She wouldn’t give a second glance to an ordinary man.”

‘Wayne tried to offer more advice, but it all fell on deaf ears. Yuvan was too immersed in his

plans to listen.

“What woman wouldn’t care about her chastity and reputation?” he muttered to himself.” If she gives her body to me, can she simply turn her back on me?”

When the time came, the promise of the princess consort title would likely make Violet happier than anything.

Carissa had returned to Hell Monarch Estate earlier. When Claire reported that Violet had gone to Edgeview Estate, Carissa was discussing something with Max. After their conversation, she headed straight back to the estate.

By then, Violet was already back at Hell Monarch Estate. After delivering that slap, she had felt a brief rush of satisfaction. Soon, however, concern crept in. It wasn’t for herself–she feared she had caused trouble for Rafael and Carissa. After all, she knew Salvador had people keeping an eye on Edgeview Estate.

When Violet saw Carissa, she immediately stood to greet her and regretfully said, “Cari, I acted on impulse. I shouldn’t have gone to Edgeview Estate. I’m afraid I’ve caused you trouble.”

Carissa had hurried back to comfort her friend, but was taken aback when she beat her to the apology. Smiling, she linked arms with her.

“Did you make a scene at Edgeview Estate?”

Violet sighed, her frustration clear. “I slapped Molly.”

“Did it feel good?” Carissa asked with a smile.

“It felt good for a moment,” Violet admitted. “But I might have caused trouble for you and Prince Rafael.”

Carissa gently pushed Violet down onto a chair and sat beside her, then called for Lulu to

bring some royal jelly soup.

Once it was served, she smiled and said, “Do what you need to do. If it causes trouble, we’ll

handle it.”

“I know you’re trying to reassure me, but I was really too rash this time,” Violet said.

She sighed deeply, frustrated with herself. She had thought she could control her emotions, but it all spiraled out of control in an instant. She felt like a complete failure.

Carissa stood up and patted her friend’s back. “Everyone has their breaking point. You’re not expected to swallow your pride and bow your head just because you live here. The workshop is the result of all our hard work, and you’ve played a huge part in it. Someone’s * trying to ruin your reputation. If you told me it was Molly spreading those rumors, I would

have gone to slap her with you.”

“You’re not as hot–tempered as I am,” Violet replied, looking up at Carissa. “Don’t try to comfort me. Just tell me, is what I did today–going to Edgeview Estate–going to cause trouble for you?”

“No. Absolutely not.” Carissa was firm in her answer.

“You better not be lying to me,” Violet warned.

Carissa sighed.

“Listen. When we came back from the Southern Frontier, we had to be extra cautious. At that time, Raf had achieved great military success, and I’m from the Sinclair family. The bigger the tree, the more it attracts the wind. If we weren’t careful in our actions, it would be easy for others to frame us. That’s happened too many times in history.

“Plus, with the situation at Victory Pass still up in the air, we had to keep our strength in reserve. That was a concession we made to the king. But it doesn’t mean we’ll always act this way. We’ve shown our goodwill and loyalty. Whether the king believes it or not is up to him.”

Carissa looked at Violet with a hint of sympathy. When had she ever had to worry about others‘ feelings in doing something? Now, after letting off some steam, she still had to tread carefully. It was truly unfair to her.

Upon hearing Carissa’s reassurance, Violet relaxed. However, she was still angry at Molly.

“I went easy on her by slapping her only once. If it were in the past, I would’ve yanked her hair and thrown her out. I get that men don’t understand the significance of the workshop, but she’s a woman. How could she not understand?”

Lulu came in with the royal jelly soup, smiling. “You don’t need to be angry with those people, Ms. Spencer. It’s not worth getting upset over. Drink this, and you’ll feel better in no time.”

Violet smiled brightly. “Lulu, your words are getting more charming. You really know how to make someone happy.”

After getting her revenge, Lulu was in a much brighter mood.

The next day, the gatekeeper reported that Molly had come and insisted on seeing Violet.

Rafael and Carissa had gone to the Ministry of Justice and the Capital Guard headquarters respectively, so Jacob sent someone to get Violet.
