Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1096

Before leaving the capital, Molly made another trip to Hell Monarch Estate to see Violet and ask her for the letter she wanted to write to her father.

Having been warned by Carissa, Violet didn't entertain Molly's request. She didn't give her the letter and quickly dismissed her instead.

Molly tried again, but only embarrassed herself. But this time, she didn't seem angry. Instead, her eyes brimmed with tears.

"Violet, I know you look down on me, but I truly see you as my little sister. While we were in the capital, we bought so many things that we can't take back with us. If Skye Embroidery can use them, I'll send everything there." Violet crossed her arms, her tone skeptical as she asked, "Are you really this generous?"

Molly bristled at the accusation. "I'm a woman too. Naturally, I want to help other women. Besides, it's all things we don't need anymore-grain, clothes, fabrics, embroidery supplies, and even flowers. It's impractical to bring them back to Valken. If you don't believe me, you can oversee it yourself as I have the items delivered."

If Molly hadn't been annoyed, Violet would have suspected ulterior motives. But seeing her irritation now, Violet figured her cousin wasn't entirely insincere more likely, she just wanted to win favor.

Still, the items would be useful. The flowers from Edgeview Estate, in particular, were stunning and diverse. They would be perfect for Leona to tend to. They would surely brighten the spirits of Camila and Soraya too.
