Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

During these fifteen days, the king would personally visit Skyward Sanctum, the sacred platform for ceremonies. He would then enjoy the festivities at the city gates with the common folk and watch the fireworks.

The Capital Guard and the garrison unit needed to make early preparations, urging the Ministry of Housing to build high platforms outside the city walls so the king and court officials could watch the fireworks. After visiting Avis, Carissa and Rafael talked in the small wooden cabin outside. Travis had used the cabin for a night, but the bedding was neatly arranged. Although the furniture was old, it had been cleaned thoroughly.

Carissa shared the situation regarding Avis with Rafael, who was equally shocked upon hearing about Yuvan's reasons for the divorce.

"There's always something that can be used to convince others, like Aunt Avis' grave illness," Carissa replied, her frustration evident. She felt a weight in her chest that wouldn't ease.

"And he plans to marry Violet? What is Uncle Yuvan thinking?" Rafael mused.

He frowned, his sharp mind quickly piecing things together. He and Carissa were on the same page.
