Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Helen cast a covert glance at Carissa, who appeared relaxed. A faint smile graced her lips.

It was undeniable that Carissa's face was exceptionally beautiful, radiating a clear and refreshing charm.

Helen's curiosity was piqued. "Aren't you afraid of Grand Princess Eleanor?"

Carissa responded with a question of her own, "Why should I be afraid of her?"

"She's the grand princess, the current king's aunt. Even the late king was lenient with her. She controls at least half of the political connections in the capital. Her words alone can tarnish your reputation overnight," said Helen.

Carissa remained indifferent. "Didn't you say I'm fearless and lack awareness? Why should I fear a tarnished reputation? If she spreads rumors about me, the hero who reclaimed the Southern Frontier, even her status as the grand princess won't save her from the scorn of scholars everywhere."

Helen thought that while speaking about these matters might seem easy, offending Eleanor could lead to retaliation that was hard to handle.
