Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 212

In the dead of night, everything finally erupted.

Feeling utterly exhausted, Amelia turned and left the room.

Behind her, shouts and screams filled the air, and Serena's piercing cries mingled with the chaotic uproar, Amelia slowly made her way to the main hall of the inner estate. It was the same chair where Carissa used to sit when she was managing the household affairs.

Managing those affairs was no easy task. Carissa had always handled it with patience and a pleasant demeanor, even enduring long nights when Rebecca was ill. She would never rest, and was always attending to what needed to be done.

Carissa had seemed tireless, but who wasn't tired? It was just a matter of persevering through it all.

Amelia had never understood this before, but now, she saw it all too clearly.

She sank into a chair, staring at the empty hall. To conserve oil, only one lantern was lit in the corridor, casting a dim light that illuminated the desolate tables and chairs. Valor Estate felt like a mausoleum. She felt genuinely happy for Carissa, not for any other reason but for how Carissa had cared for her during her time at Valor Estate. It wasn't just the material support-now that she was in charge of the household, she understood what Carissa had endured and resisted on her behalf.

Now, Amelia was truly exhausted, drained by the endless turmoil. Life would be simpler as an ordinary person, where one could live comfortably without unrealistic aspirations that drained everyone's energy and never led to fulfillment.

She fell asleep in the chair, though she had no idea how long she slept.
