Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Kiera's residence, Ivory Estate, was located in the palace district where the highest-ranking nobles resided. The common folk referred to it as Noble Street, and it was only about three or four miles from Royal Street.

Ivory Estate was also conveniently close to Hell Monarch Estate, just a short distance away on foot. Of course, Helen had no intention of walking. They all traveled by carriage.

Ivory Estate was already occupied by staff sent by the queen dowager, tasked with maintaining the property, cleaning, and tending the garden. A number of flower trees had already been planted, and potted plants adorned the grounds.

Salvador had been quite generous to Kiera. The estate was vast, with a grand and imposing front courtyard, while the rear was filled with bright and spacious rooms.

In the garden, a lake had been dug. It was surrounded by pavilions, towers, rockeries, and arched bridges, with water flowing gently throughout. The surroundings created a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The architecture here had a softer, more tranquil vibe, reminiscent of the graceful style of Ebonflow, in contrast to the rigid designs typical of the capital.

Kiera's personal courtyard was called Harmony Meadow, which had a lovely meaning. As Logan's name meant "small meadow", the courtyard's name incorporated that and symbolized the idea of the couple harmoniously supporting each other.

As Carissa and Helen entered, they found the courtyard fully furnished. There were partition screens, a large cherry wood bed, a chaise lounge draped in luxurious silks-everything one could need, and all of the highest quality.

After looking around, Helen remarked, "There's plenty of furniture already. We don't need to bring any more from her dowry."

Carissa disagreed gently, "Since it's already been cataloged, we should still bring it over. This estate is so large, there's certainly enough space to use it all."
