Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

The carriage stopped at the northern corner of Silverbrook Academy, while the Marquis of Elderglen's family's carriage followed behind to avoid traffic congestion.

The rain grew heavier, and the crowd increased. With Kayla's injured foot, it was inconvenient for her to return to her carriage at this time. She had to wait until the carriages bringing children to the academy had dispersed before she could leave. "Are you here to send your son to school, Lady Kayla?" Carissa asked, knowing that Kayla had adopted a son but unaware of his age.

"Yes, it's his first day at school, so I came to see him off." A genuine smile appeared on Kayla's face as she spoke of her son, making her expression seem more natural.

"How old is he? What's his name?"

Kayla replied, "He's seven years old, and his name is Alexander."

Violet laughed and said, "From that name, one can tell he comes from a family of generals."

Kayla's expression momentarily faltered, a hint of bitterness showing in her eyes before she quickly masked it. She softly explained, "My late husband chose names for our future children. If we had a son, he wanted a name that symbolized protection and leadership."

"I see!" Violet said, sensing the delicate nature of the conversation. Noting Kayla's reddened eyes and her apparent emotional state, Violet changed the subject. "Your maid's hand is injured. Let me help tidy your hair."

"Oh no, that's not necessary," Kayla protested, but Violet was already starting to arrange her hair.
