Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

However, there were always a few people who criticized Carissa, claiming that as the Hell Monarch's princess consort and the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Northwatch's family, she was wealthy and could easily afford the donation of several tens of thousands of silver coins.

So, how could thirty thousand silver coins be a significant amount for her?

In contrast, they claimed that the Warren family was poor and that Rebecca, who had long been ill, couldn't be expected to donate money.

This explanation was promptly rebutted.

"Do you have a misunderstanding about what constitutes being poor? When Barrett married Aurora, the dowry was reportedly between ten and twenty thousand silver coins. And what about the dowry of the Prince family's daughter? Did you not see the amount?"

"You say they're poor, but what spills from their fingers could feed you for a year."

"Even if they're poor, not donating is one thing, but why insult the matriarch of the Marquis of Jadehill's family by calling her an old beggar? She's over ninety years old, and walked in the freezing cold to ask for donations for the disaster victims. What wrong has she done to be called an old beggar?"

"And sure, the Hell Monarch's household has money, but what about you? I'm sure you have at least ten silver coins, right? If asked to donate one silver coin, would you be willing? Probably not."

"With their actions, they showed they have the vision and generosity. Do other noble families in the capital not have money? Why did only the Hell Monarch's household donate thirty thousand silver coins?" The commotion among the common people inevitably reached the people in Hell Monarch Estate.

Carissa had someone check the donation list and confirmed that the Hell Monarch's household had indeed donated the most.

She was somewhat distressed. This made it seem like the Hell Monarch's household was trying to show off. Besides, Mary said she would give the list to the authorities, and whether they were recognized for the donation was up to the authorities.
