Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

After Dakota took her seat, she smiled and said, "As for fortune, it pales in comparison to the blessings of Madam Clayton from the Marquis of Jadehill's family."

Mary smiled and said, "Everyone here is indeed blessed, and Lady Dakota is even more so. Lady Helen is blessed as well, having a virtuous daughter-in-law. The Hell Monarch has achieved unparalleled military success, which is also a great blessing."

Helen felt a lot better after hearing that. It was no wonder people said others had seen and experienced so much more than she has. Just a casual comment like that could be so comforting.

She immediately beamed. "I do wish that Rafael could enjoy the idle pleasures of the capital city like Lord Kendrick, surrounded by wives and concubines and with children in pairs. It pains me to see my son working tirelessly from dawn until late into the night. I worry for him."

Dakota smiled and said, "That only proves Prince Rafael is capable."

As she spoke, she held her grandchild close and gave him a kiss.

The child's chubby little hand clung to her neck, and in a sweet voice, he said, "Grandma."

That single word melted hearts. Helen, who had just been basking in satisfaction, felt a pang of jealousy.

Eleanor noticed the change in Helen's expression, and commented with a smile, "It has been several months since Lady Carissa entered the family. Why isn't there any news yet?"

Upon hearing this, Serena glanced provocatively at Carissa. Carissa caught the look and merely responded with a faint, dismissive smile.

Eleanor sipped her tea, and said slowly, "In my view, it's important for the royal family's sons to start having children soon to ensure the family's legacy. The court duties? Anyone could handle those."
