Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 402

One by one, the members of the royal family and their relatives who were in the capital began arriving at the palace.

Harvey and Heather, along with several of the grand princesses, arrived together. The grand princesses came with their spouses and children, creating a bustling crowd that immediately filled the hall with lively chatter.

Next to arrive were the two high princesses who had recently descended from their elevated positions of grand princesses, Meredith and Henrietta. Both were the king's sisters. Meredith, the elder, was born to the queen dowager and was Salvador's elder sister. Henrietta was the daughter of Josephine, and was Salvador's younger sister.

Meredith was married to Levi Wright, the second son of the

Oversight Department's minister, Irvin Wright. Levi was an optimistic and easy-going man, holding a nominal position in the Protocol Department.

The Wright family was Natalie's maternal family, known for its scholarly traditions. However, Irvin, known for his strong-willed and stubborn nature, was someone who even dared to defy the king.

Despite having her royal residence, Meredith still observed the traditional custom of paying her respects at the Wright family's. residence on the first and fifteenth of each month. This was a sign of respect for her role as a daughter-in-law, and Irwin wouldn't allow her to act differently, despite her royal status.

Nevertheless, Meredith and her husband lived harmoniously. Also, the queen dowager had raised her well, and Meredith didn't act arrogantly toward the Wright family. As a result, the Wright family spoke highly of her.
