Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Eleanor was left speechless by Margaret's sharp retort. She was stunned in anger for a long time. Finally, she stood up with a cold laugh.

"You clearly know nothing about art, yet you use this as a pretext to argue. It seems you and I can hardly exchange a single word without clashing. I shall take my leave."

After finishing her sentence, she shot a fierce glare at Helen.

Helen was momentarily stunned-what had she done to offend Eleanor? After all, it was Margaret who had crossed her. Why was Eleanor glaring at her?

Still, Helen had suffered enough under Eleanor's hand before. Also, given their business dealings, she didn't want to provoke her further.

So, she asked, "Your Highness, won't you stay a bit longer to enjoy the paintings?"

Eleanor walked over to Helen and leaned in close to whisper, though her tone carried a clear hint of threat, "I do intend to enjoy them. After everyone's finished, you'll send the paintings to my residence. I expect them delivered by the end of the day."
