Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 150

When Carissa woke up, it was already noon the next day. She could have slept longer, but a summons from the palace required her presence, forcing her to get up.

As she yawned and got ready, she asked, "Lulu have Violet and the others woken up yet?"

"Not yet, they're still sleeping," Lulu replied. She had spent the night on the soft couch in Carissa's room, feeling at ease being close to her mistress.

"Don't wake them. Let them sleep as long as they need. Even if they sleep for three days and nights, just let them be," Carissa said, understanding how exhausted they were. She herself felt like she could sleep until the next day.

Lulu finished braiding Carissa's hair, and placed a jeweled hairpin in it. Seeing the dark circles under Carissa's eyes, she felt a pang of sympathy.

"Got it. Mr. Carter also told me that. He said when the late master and young masters returned from the battlefield, they were similarly exhausted and slept for days," Lulu replied.

"Good." Carissa nodded, steering the conversation away from the topic. "Did the summons come from the empress dowager, or the king?"

"Neither. It was from the queen," Lulu answered.

Carissa was surprised. "The queen?"

She had little interaction with the queen, Kylie Quinton. Carissa had only met her years ago when she returned from Meadow Ridge and paid her respects to Victoria, briefly greeting Kylie in Chapter 150
