Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

And that wretched woman currently favored by Leopold was Margaret's niece. She was made his concubine and, like a breeding sow, already had a son and a daughter. Now, she was pregnant again and was expected to give birth in a few days.

Returning now would only add to Jessica's grievances. But with her mother's orders, Jessica had no choice but to go back.

The pride she once had, boasting about returning to her natal family, now seemed like a distant memory. No one came to pick her up, and she had to return alone, looking quite embarrassed. Taking Serena in as a concubine...

That wretched woman had bore a son and a daughter, and was about to give birth again. Though Serena was foolish, her youth and beauty gave her an advantage. Jessica could let Serena deal with that wretched woman, and then benefit from the chaos.

Even though Jessica thought that way, her resentment towards Serena was profound.

Wretched, all of them-Jessica had brought trouble upon herself.

Eleanor closed her eyes, her thoughts drifting elsewhere.

Yuvan's plan to marry a daughter from the Spencer family as his new wife had been settled shortly after Avis' death. The Spencer family was powerful and influential, with soldiers, weapons, and warhorses. She wondered what position the Spencer family's daughter held within the family.

Also, Oliver's daughter had reached marriageable age and might be a good match. If Yuvan's eldest son, Randall, married her, they would acquire the support of the Prince family. Oliver controlled the Hell Monarch Army and the Sinclair Army.

There were also the marriage arrangements for Stephanie and Sabrina, which would be best managed within the high society of the capital. Through strategic marriages, they could attract some important figures.

But first, Eleanor needed a reason to bring Yuvan and his family back. For now, she couldn't afford to focus on Jessica and needed to plan carefully.
