Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1079

Violet took care of the matter at Skye Embroidery, while Carissa had her own pressing concerns-mainly, the opening of the women's academy.

Carissa had already found five teachers-the royal chancellor's granddaughter Rosalind, Meredith's sister-in-law Harriet Wright, the Ashford family's matriarch Catherine, Kyle, and the Wardell family's eldest daughter, who had once served as Meredith's study partner. Athena Wardell was now thirty. She had been engaged to a childhood friend, but he had died on the battlefield while they were preparing for their wedding. Since then, Athena has refused all proposals and had no intention of marrying.

Kyle was the only man among the teachers. He was a renowned scholar in Starhaven, known for his noble character and virtuous nature. No one would have objected to him becoming a teacher at the women's academy. In fact, his reputation only drew more students to the school.

Catherine had withdrawn from social circles for many years. In her younger years, she was a renowned scholar who traveled extensively across the vast landscapes of Starhaven with her husband. She had written the book Chronicles of the Mountains and Rivers, and the current map of Starhaven was based on the work of her husband.

The couple had contributed greatly to Starhaven. Even a few years ago, they were still journeying far and wide. It wasn't until her husband's passing that Catherine finally settled down. Now in her seventies, Catherine was still strong but rarely left her home for social events.

When Carissa visited her, she had agreed to help. The older woman had said that although her eyesight was poor, the fire in her heart still burned brightly, and she wanted to pass on her knowledge.

As for Kyle, Carissa had relied on his reputation to attract students. After all, with his fame, every family wanted their daughter to be his pupil.
