Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 989

After dinner, Dominic and Rafael spent a long time talking in the study. Carissa had originally wanted to listen in, but her grandfather told her it was a conversation for men, so it wouldn't be appropriate for her to be there. Reluctantly, she agreed and left, heading off to find

Winona and Kyle.

During the meal that evening. Everett had announced he would be returning to Meadow Ridge. He insisted that the others should return with him, especially Kyle. He had scolded him for staying at Hell Monarch Estate, saying that the place was overcrowded with visitors, disrupting the peace.

In reality, most of the people coming to visit Kyle were well-known scholars and artists of the court. However, Everett had said that the more connected to court someone was, the less they should be involved with them. He didn't want Rafael getting dragged into unnecessary trouble, so he ordered them to leave Hell Monarch Estate at once.

Winona privately said that Everett was being two-faced. When he needed them, he would call them and boss them around. But once the job was done, he acted like they were a burden and couldn't wait to get rid of them.

Winona never spoke ill of others, except when it came to Everett. Even then, she wouldn't dare say it to his face.

"Are you really leaving?" Carissa asked softly, leaning her head against Winona's shoulder." Can't you stay a little longer?"
