Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 313

On the twenty-second day of December, Kyle indeed left.

Carissa held onto his sleeve as she saw him to the door. The biting cold wind whipped around them, and the overcast sky suggested that snow was once again imminent.

Carissa sighed inwardly.

Even Kyle was leaving. She could only hope for clear weather on her wedding day. If it didn't snow, at least the bridal carriage would have an easier time moving. She had no other extravagant wishes.

Kyle smiled and said, "I've ordered some jewelry for you at the Gilded Tower. Send someone to collect it. The payment has already been made, and the receipt is with Frederick."

"I'll have Frederick go over later," Carissa replied, watching as the stable hand brought out Kyle's horse. She couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. "You're really in a hurry to leave? Can't you stay a couple more days?"

"No, it's urgent," Kyle said, gently rubbing her forehead. "We'll see each other soon enough. Aren't you planning to go back to Meadow Ridge?"

"Yeah!" Carissa nodded, and added, "Then be careful on the road."

"I got it. No need to see me off. Go back inside, Kyle said as he took the reins, mounted his horse, and waved at her. "Go on back."

Carissa shook her head. "I'm going to see you off."

Without further ado, Kyle spurred his horse and rode away.
