Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

As soon as Zoey left, Violet entered the room.

Carissa rubbed her temples. "Aren't you supposed to be out in the gardens with Lady Fiona?"

"I couldn't care less about her," Violet replied as she took a seat, her expression tense. "I had Lily and a few maids accompany her. She's not getting away from Lily's watchful eye." Violet then turned her gaze to Carissa. "So, what was that crazy woman doing here?" Carissa glanced outside to ensure no one was eavesdropping before recounting Viola's ridiculous antics.

By the time she finished, Violet was livid, her temper flaring. "She's carrying Barrett's child and still wants to cling to my godbrother? How shameless can she be?! Thankfully, her sister-in-law is sensible. If not, my god brother might have felt guilty enough to take her in!" "Calm down. There's no need to shout. Your godbrother knows the truth now, and will steer clear of Viola," Carissa reassured her.

"I've never seen someone so shameless," Violet huffed. "And there's another shameless one sitting outside. I can't stand the sight of her!"

Carissa knew Violet was referring to Molly. "That's her choice. Don't let it get to you. We just need to focus on our own lives."

"My cousin isn't foolish. Can't she see Yuvan's intentions?" Violet asked, crossing her arms.

"Maybe she sees them all too clearly, which is why she's so eager to marry him," Carissa suggested.

Violet widened her eyes in disbelief. "That can't be!"
