Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Rafael knew that this was Jacob's greatest regret. The man had even vowed to himself that he wouldn't marry until he found his sister.

"Alright. I'll discuss this with Carissa," Rafael said. "But I can't guarantee that Kyle will agree. It sounds a little ridiculous."

Jacob remained calm. "I only ask that you ask Mr. Spencer about it. If it doesn't work out, I won't be disappointed."

"Okay." Rafael nodded, then discussed a few other matters with Jacob before heading back to his room.

Carissa had just returned from seeing Leona when Rafael informed her of Jacob's request.

"Jacob has a sister who went missing years ago? But if he sent Claire to contact Winona, why didn't he just write directly to Kyle?" she asked, surprised.

"Jacob draws the line quite well. Asking Claire to contact Winona is related to his job, while reaching out to Kyle is a personal matter. He still wants to have an intermediary help convey his words," Rafael replied. Carissa understood. "Alright. I'll write and ask, but I'm not sure if Kyle is at Meadow Ridge now. He's always off somewhere."

Rafael smiled. "He should be there now. Sage Everett has just returned after having been away for a while, so they're probably busy reorganizing things. I doubt anyone will be leaving Meadow Ridge for the next few months."

For some reason, the mention of her martial uncle always stirred a wave of anxiety within Carissa. Her respect for him had been etched into her bones.

"Luckily, I'm married and away from Meadow Ridge," she quipped, laughing lightly.

"And you married his only beloved apprentice, so you'll be treated especially well and forgiven more readily," Rafael said with a sense of pride, before leaning down to press a kiss to her forehead.

"Sage Everett is a little protective," Carissa said.
