Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 133

Rebecca sent invitations to the wives of the two deputy ministers of the Ministry of Defense, as well as to the wife of the Minister of Defense himself. Though she doubted the latter would attend, she was confident that the wives of the deputy ministers would come.

Rebecca planned to ask them about the general situation of the war and how the Ministry of Defense would reward the meritorious.

However, on the day of the tea party, neither of the deputy ministers' wives showed up. Even the wives of slightly higher-ranking officials did not attend. Only the wives of fifth- or sixth-rank officials, and even some of seventh or eighth rank, came with their families. Some of these guests were not even on the invitation list, which made Rebecca both angry and distressed.

She had spent so much money on this tea party to raise her family's profile and create a strong and favorable impression for Barrett and Aurora. When they returned victorious, she hoped Salvador and the Ministry of Defense would consider the public's praise when distributing rewards.

Nowadays, the rumors about the female general had spread everywhere, and the praise was growing louder.

Rebecca had previously felt that Carissa becoming a duke's daughter after the divorce was a bit unfair. But now that Aurora and Barrett had made significant achievements, the Warren family's future seemed promising.

A duke's family with only an orphan girl versus a family with real power-anyone could see which one to favor!

But seeing the tea party filled with lower-ranked officials, Rebecca fumed internally. Claiming to be ill, she refused to entertain them and left Amelia to host the guests.
