Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1068

Viola's life had been a mess lately.

Barrett was incompetent and careless with his duties, which made the king dislike him. To make matters worse, someone actually went to Skye Embroidery at this time. Amelia, a woman Viola had always looked down on, had a workshop named after her even after her death. To make things worse, Viola's sister-in-law was spreading rumors that Amelia's death was somehow connected to her. It made Skye Embroidery feel like a thorn lodged in her throat, uncomfortable and irksome.

Then there was Serena. She had been sent back to her family by the Marquis of Ironridge's family, and she should've been keeping a low profile. Instead, she was acting as if nothing had changed. She walked around as arrogant as ever, her head always held high as though she were too good for everyone.

It was infuriating.

And now Serena, of all people, was trying to find another husband. It was laughable! She had once mocked women who were divorced, first targeting Carissa and then Viola. But now, Serena herself was divorced. To make matters worse, she was a discarded concubine- not even a legitimate wife.

Yet, Serena still had the nerve to come around and make snide comments. She said that as the elder sister-in-law, Viola should arrange her match.

Serena's expectations were ridiculously high. She still dreamed of marrying into a prestigious family, even if it meant becoming a concubine. Her looks weren't anything special, and she had been cast out once. She wanted to secure a high marriage despite all the gossip circulating about her. She should be grateful if someone would take her at all!

It was the definition of delusion.

There were times when Viola truly wanted to leave the Warren family. She had thought about t more than once. When she actually suggested it to Barrett that night and he agreed without hesitation, she was crushed.
