Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1090

Carissa nodded and glanced over the other girls' practice sheets. Asking them to work on their handwriting was likely a way to see where their skills stood and ensure they could write neatly. Most of the writing samples were decent, but a few stood out. The delicate cursive characters were meticulously written, each stroke crafted with care, showing no sign of sloppiness or laziness. Setting the papers down, Carissa asked, "So, is this the only thing bothering you? What about all those things they're saying about you and General Farrell? You're not letting that get to you, are you?"

"Their mouths are their own, so they can say whatever they want. It doesn't stop me from eating, sleeping, or living my life. It doesn't hurt me, nor does it draw a single drop of my blood. So, why should I let it bother me?" Rosalind replied.

She even laughed a little as she added, "Although I have to admit, their creativity is refreshing. Using an old story to insult me is at least more original than their usual nonsense about how I'm heartless or greedy."

Carissa couldn't help but admire Rosalind. It took incredible strength and confidence to brush off such malicious gossip so effortlessly.

Still, something about it made Rosalind frown. "Do you think this might cause trouble for General Farrell?"

"It won't," Carissa said reassuringly. "These kinds of rumors don't usually hurt men."

Carissa paused. Seeing how Rosalind didn't mind, she continued, "In fact, in the story they've spun, General Farrell comes out looking like a hero. His reputation has only grown because of it. Now, when people talk about him, they don't even mention his military achievements. They're too busy praising how he defended his honor and let the royal chancellor's granddaughter slip through his fingers."
