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

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.

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