Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 942

On Royal Street, the only sound was the clatter of horses' hooves and the occasional rattle of carriage wheels. There was nothing else to break the silence.

Travis was expertly guiding the carriage. He was getting better at it with every passing day-after all, he was now the owner of a carriage.

Violet sat inside the carriage with Carissa, resting her head on her friend's shoulder. Feigning weakness, she complained, "You all got to go inside, eating and drinking to your heart's content, while we were stuck out here in the cold wind. Thankfully, Lulu had us bring some meat and pastries from home. She even thoughtfully packed some coffee in a water pouch. If we hadn't had that, I might have passed out from hunger by now."

Carissa chuckled. "It's truly a sin to leave you hungry, Ms. Spencer. After this is all over, we'll have to throw a feast to make it up to you."

Violet didn't seem offended. Instead, she gave a playful smile and quipped, "You know me best. The one thing I can always indulge in is spending money."

Violet enjoyed spending money on the people around her, especially those she was close to. When it came to strangers, it depended on their situation. If she felt sympathy for them, she would be willing to spend a bit on them.

Carissa leaned her head against Violet's, their two heads resting together. They didn't need to listen to the sounds outside-Travis was handling everything.
