Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 211

After returning from Grand Princess Eleanor's birthday banquet, Rebecca fell ill. She developed a high fever in the middle of the night, and kept mumbling incoherently.

Amelia urgently summoned a doctor, and Benjamin was sent to fetch Barrett, who was staying at an inn. At first, Barrett thought it was a trick, but upon returning and seeing his mother shivering uncontrollably and mumbling nonsensical words, he realized her condon was indeed serious.

It was a rare sight, but Aurora also came over to help. She hadn't seen Barrett for several days. Her pride had prevented her from seeking him out, believing that this was still his home and he would eventually return.

Barrett didn't look at her, but urgently asked, "Why did she suddenly fall ill? Why is it so severe?"

Serena burst into tears. "What else could it be? It's all because of Carissa! She also attended Grand Princess Eleanor's birthday banquet. She took advantage of her upcoming marriage to the Hell Monarch, and had the audacity to berate both Grand Princess Eleanor and Lady Jessica..."

At these words, Barrett and Aurora stared at Serena in shock.

Barrett's voice trembled. "What? She's marrying the Hell Monarch?"

Amelia hurriedly interjected, "Serena, don't speak nonsense! It's clear that Grand Princess Eleanor was trying to use the fact that Mother was harsh toward Carissa to cover up her own issues. That's why she made Mother so angry that she got sick."
