Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1129

Violet had been leaving early and returning late lately. Even before the sun was up, there would be no sign of her. Yet, without fail, she would return to Skye Embroidery for an hour or so.

The workshop had gained a new addition recently-Eliza Carter, a woman cast out of her home. Her brother had offered to take her back in, but her sister-in-law disagreed. Not wanting to cause trouble for her brother, Eliza had instead chosen to come to the workshop. The two of them worked on embroidery and shared quiet conversations, never speaking of the past, only of the future. Violet quite enjoyed this peaceful atmosphere. On her occasional visits, she found herself chatting with Leona while Alana and Leah were also around. Their relationships seemed to grow closer with each passing day. Zoey also came by and happened to run into Violet that day, so they chatted casually for a while.

Violet knew that Cedric was training under Travis, and said frankly, "He's diligent, but he lacks some natural talent. He's more suited to being a scholar."

Zoey wasn't bothered by it, and smiled. "No matter. I don't expect him to become a martial arts prodigy. I just want him to be strong enough so that if trouble ever comes, he won't be caught unprepared."

Her words, though light-hearted, struck Violet as oddly bitter.

If she thought about it, the concern was clear. The heir to a noble house would be well-guarded on the road. If he were traveling to visit relatives, he would be surrounded by attendants, guards, and servants in abundance. If he were to take the national examinations and be appointed as an official in a distant land, the entourage would be just as grand. The noble heir would have little to worry about in terms of hardship or danger.

The only ones who could truly be under threat and endure suffering would be those exiled.
