Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Embarrassed or not, the two of them did end up bathing together in the end. After soaking in the bath, they continued their passionate night under the white canopy of their bed.

Fortunately, both were trained in martial arts. So, even with only getting an hour or two of sleep, they were still able to go about their day without feeling tired.

As they got up the next morning, two unfamiliar attendants entered to serve Rafael. Luke had arranged this. These two elderly women, Sydney and Qiana, had originally worked in the embroidery room. But now that Rafael had no one to serve him, it wouldn't be appropriate to have a young servant help him with dressing and personal needs.

As for the maids serving Carissa, Joy and Winter had gone to attend to Ryan. Meanwhile, Lulu, Snow, and Pearl remained by Carissa's side to serve her personally.

Lily was in charge of managing the entire Orchid Hall, so naturally, it wouldn't be appropriate to ask her to take on these duties. And if younger servants were sent to attend to Rafael, there was a risk they may harbor inappropriate thoughts.

So, it was better to have Sydney and Qiana serve Rafael. Both women were in their forties and had a reputation for their steady and reliable work. They were unlikely to cause any trouble. These two women had been sent by Victoria when Rafael first established his estate. They had previously served the queen dowager herself, so their trustworthiness was assured.

Rafael didn't need to go to the Supreme Court today. With the year coming to a close, the court had already sealed its documents, and no new matters would be addressed until the eighth day of the new year. Carissa mentioned that she needed to return to Northwatch Estate today. After the couple dressed and had breakfast, they sent someone to fetch Ryan so he could accompany them back.

However, just as they were about to leave, they saw Violet arrive with Travis.

As soon as she entered, Violet said, "They left the city yesterday evening. They said they were in a hurry to leave and couldn't inform you." Hearing this, Carissa's eyes reddened. "It's always like this. I can't trust my master. We had clearly agreed that they would tell me before leaving."
