Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 694

Carissa didn't answer her, instead saying, "Tomorrow, Raf and I are heading out of the city. Can you help me paint my nails so I won't have to rush in the morning?"

"My lady, where are you going tomorrow? Are you taking me with you?" Lulu asked eagerly, her face lighting up.

"No." Carissa shot her a playful glare. "I just feel like going out."

Janice continued to glance around in confusion.

Rafael and Carissa had clearly entered the room together, so why was Carissa alone now? Janice was sure Rafael hadn't left through the door, as it had been locked the whole time. Had he snuck out through a window? Why such secrecy? As they took out the dye and prepared to paint Carissa's nails, Violet's voice rang out, "Carissa, I can't find the Mystic Pearl earrings you gave me. Are they here with you?"

She stepped into the room with a frustrated look on her face. "Help me check if they're in here."

Carissa laughed. "But you never take off your jewelry in my room. How could they be here? Did you maybe forget them somewhere else? Have you looked thoroughly?"

Violet opened Carissa's jewelry box and rummaged through several containers nearby. "I've checked everywhere. I was planning to wear them tomorrow. Let me see if they're with you."

Carissa had many pieces of jewelry, and the items here were just a small selection of what she often wore. As Violet searched through the jewelry boxes, frustration crept onto her face when she failed to find the Mystic Pearl earrings. "Could it be that someone took them? We don't have any thieves in our household, do we?" she asked.

"Impossible. Nothing like that has ever happened here," Carissa replied. "You're so careless and usually leave things lying around. Couldn't the earrings have fallen to the floor or rolled under the dresser? I'll ask Lily to help you look. Lulu, Janice, why don't you help as well?"
