Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Barrett went out and bought a gold hairpin, and placed it in a box. Upon returning to the estate, he inquired about Serena and learned that she was in their mother's room. He went straight there. As expected, Serena was holding the jewelry box when he arrived. Seeing him, she immediately stood up, her expression wary. "Aren't you on duty tonight? Why are you back so soon?" "This is for you." Barrett handed her the box and said coolly, "I bought it with my allowance."

Serena looked at him with suspicion. "You bought a hairpin for me? Why?"

She clutched her jewelry box tighter. For the past few days, she had been told to return the ruby tiara. Now, she was suddenly being given a hairpin?

"It's to add to your dowry, and also because you've been taking such good care of our mom these past few days. Just accept it," Barrett said with a sigh, then turned to look at Rebecca on the bed. "Mom, how are you feeling today?"

Rebecca was surprised by her son's actions. She replied, "Your sister has indeed worked hard taking care of me. I'm feeling somewhat better today. I should be able to get out of bed and walk tomorrow." "Shall I help you up for a walk now?" Barrett lifted the blanket, and extended his hand to assist her.

Seeing this, Serena finally set aside the jewelry box that held the ruby tiara and opened the new box. Inside was a gold hairpin.

She picked it up, noting its weight and the fine craftsmanship. It resembled the hairpins from the Golden Tower. But upon closer inspection, she saw it was a bit different. It was likely from the Gilded Tower. Although she felt a twinge of disappointment, it was still pure gold and not a loss. She looked up at Barrett. "Thank you, Barrett."
