Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1088

Violet's patience had worn thin. With a flick of her whip, she chased Molly out, forcing her to shield her head with her hands as she scrambled to flee.

Carissa couldn't afford to let her guard down until Yuvan left the city. Knowing his unscrupulous intentions, she sent Claire to keep an eye on Edgeview Estate, making sure Violet didn't defy her orders and secretly visit. For two or three days, Claire kept watch. Violet stuck to her usual routine, returning to Skye Embroidery each day, without once stepping foot into Edgeview Estate. Only then did Carissa allow herself to relax a little. Skye Embroidery and the women's academy were slowly becoming accepted in the city.

But one concern about the academy remained: the fact that many people were only coming to build connections. Uninterested in studying, they spent their days bringing pastries, embroidery, and gifts to flatter the women from prominent families.

Some of the women from these noble families started to boss around the daughters of lower-ranking officials, and gradually, cliques began to form. The students who truly wanted to learn often found themselves pushed out.

Some others came to learn etiquette from Catherine or to pick up household management skills, since they would eventually marry and be in charge of managing the household.

It was completely different from when the academy first opened. Back then, many people came because of Kyle's reputation, and some even had selfish motives of hoping to get him to paint for them. They believed that obtaining a calligraphy piece from him would be worth it, even if it meant leaving the school.

As the headmistress, Carissa was constantly called in to handle these issues.
