Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

As Charlotte was about to leave, Carissa asked Lily to bring her a jar of royal jelly.

Charlotte had a persistent cough that flared up in cold weather. In the past, Carissa. had frequently sent her jars of royal jelly.

Charlotte initially declined, but Carissa used Charlotte's own words to counter, "If you refuse, it's as if you're rejecting my goodwill. In that case, I can't accept your gifts either." Saying this, she signaled Lily to return the gold bracelets.

"Oh, fine." Charlotte quickly took the royal jelly. "I keep taking your things-I've lost all sense of shame."

"You stood by me during my hardest times, and I remember that in my heart," Carissa said, taking Charlotte's arm and walking her to the door.

When the Duke of Northwatch's family was annihilated, though the first branch of the Warren family offered condolences, it was merely in words. Only Charlotte truly stayed by Carissa's side. Charlotte knew Carissa had trouble eating and sleeping, so she made some calming tea for Carissa. Most of the calming remedies Sebastian prescribed were ones Charlotte prepared herself.

Hearing this, Charlotte almost shed tears. She quickly wiped her nose and turned her head, saying, "I treated you as my own daughter. As long as you don't mind this old, impoverished woman, you can call me 'Aunt' from now on."

After all, calling her "aunt" seemed inappropriate after Carissa was divorced and no longer part of the Warren family. "How fortunate," Carissa replied with a smile, "I just happen to need an aunt. How does Aunt Charlotte sound?"

"Sounds perfect," Charlotte said with a smile, though it was tinged with a hint of sadness.

After Charlotte had been sent off, Carissa returned to help Lily move the items back to the dowry storage room. The clothes were folded and placed in trunks, which would later be moved. As for Ryan's clothing, she held it carefully to deliver it to him later.
