Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

"Cari, I'm thinking of sneaking into Horizon Estate and getting rid of him," Violet said after tossing and turning in bed.

"Don't be foolish. Plotting against a prince-are you trying to have your entire family implicated?" Carissa glanced at her friend. "Are you worried that your family might agree to the marriage?"

Violet folded her arms behind her head. "I don't know, but I'm sure my father wouldn't agree. My grandfather has always doted on me, so I believe he wouldn't consent either.

"However, my family is desperate for a high-status marriage to restore their reputation. I'm afraid that the pressure from the rest of the family members might force my grandfather and father into agreeing." "Even if they agree, you wouldn't marry him," said Carissa confidently.

"That's right, I wouldn't," Violet's voice was tinged with frustration. "But if the marriage is agreed upon and I refuse, another woman from my family will be married off in my place. How can I bear to let someone else sacrifice themselves for me, especially if it's a relative from my own family?"

Violet was deeply worried. She wished she could return to the Spencer family's residence immediately.

"Do you want to go back?" Carissa asked.

"I want to, but I can't. Didn't Winona leave some of her people in my care? I'll have Claire go instead," Violet decided.

Carissa sighed and pulled the blanket over her head, tears streaming down her face. In the end, she barely slept and was up before dawn.

Determined to do something, Carissa personally made some oatmeal and carried it to Avis. Maybe due to the fact that her niece was feeding her, Avis managed to eat half a bowl.
