Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 297

On the day of Helen's gathering, ladies from both inside and outside the capital, as well as the families of high-ranking officials, all arrived at Hell Monarch Estate.

Despite the invitation being framed as a snowfall viewing event, it hadn't snowed that day. Furthermore, the garden's orchids had been transplanted to a secluded area. After the relocation, the blossoms hadn't bloomed at all this year.

Even with Rafael's return and the meticulous care of a specialist, the garden had only a few blooming flowers.

However, whether it was flowers or snow was secondary. Everyone understood well enough that Helen organized this tea party to show off.

As expected, today she wore a deep red brocade gown embroidered with large lilies. A pristine white fox fur draped elegantly over her shoulders, and her hair, touched with a few strands of gray, was styled in an elaborate updo. It was adorned with a gold crown set with rubies, giving her an air of undeniable nobility.

Eleanor had also dressed up for the occasion, but her attire paled in comparison to Helen's splendor. After all, Helen had been pampered in the palace for many years, her skin was fair and rosy, with no wrinkles around her eyes.

In contrast, Eleanor's skin, already dry from the winter, made the fine lines around her eyes more pronounced, and the powder she wore made her look older.
