Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Henry emerged from the dungeon of Harmony Palace, dragging his heavy feet toward the side hall where Eleanor awaited him.

After meeting Carissa and learning about their plans, he shared them with Eleanor, which gave him the opportunity to visit the dungeon. He managed to bring some food and clothing for Melanie Lester, and even took her on a stroll in the courtyard outside the dungeon. However, informing Eleanor of Carissa's plan meant he had already abandoned Carmen.

Henry had no choice but to proceed this way. Initially, he had been forced into the situation, but now, he was in too deep to turn back. The Marquis of Grovehill's family and Eleanor's household were tightly intertwined, leaving Henry with no option but to obey Eleanor's orders.

As he entered the side hall, Eleanor dismissed those around her with a wave of her hand and said coolly, "Have a seat."

Henry sat down. "Thank you, Your Highness."

Eleanor sipped her coffee, and said nothing. Henry didn't say anything, either.

"You've seen her, so you must feel at ease now," Eleanor calmly said as she blew the froth off her coffee.

"Thank you for the medicine, Your Highness," Henry replied.

Eleanor raised her gaze to look at him with a cold expression. Though she understood what was really going on, there were moments when she couldn't resist exposing the facade of the hypocritical man before her. "What's this? Do you really care about Melanie Lester? Stop pretending. This is just your way of controlling those two little wretches."
