Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1020

As dusk settled, two carriages from Hell Monarch Estate arrived promptly at the gates of Edgeview Estate.

The moment the carriages pulled up, the gatekeeper hurried to report their arrival. The main gate of Edgeview Estate was even opened to welcome them, showing just how important the occasion was. Molly and Fiona stood at the entrance with Stephanie and Sabrina, ready to greet their guests. Since Violet was a woman, Lucian and Randall didn't come out to join them.

The sight of two carriages immediately set Fiona on edge. She was well aware of Yuvan's plans for the night. Only Violet was supposed to be coming-why were two carriages necessary? When Rafael and Carissa stepped out of one of the carriages, Fiona froze and her carefully curated smile faltered.

What were they doing here?

"I thought you only invited Violet! How did you extend the invitation?" she hissed under her breath, glaring at Molly.

However, Molly was visibly pleased with herself. Originally, Yuvan had instructed her to invite only Violet. With Rafael and Carissa also showing up, she believed her husband would be delighted.

Annoyed by Fiona's accusatory tone, Molly's face darkened. "What kind of attitude is that? You're talking to me, the princess consort! I managed to get them here-something you couldn't even do, so keep your mouth shut!" Fiona had no interest in engaging further with this fool. She waved to a maid standing nearby.
