Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1329

Strangely, the movements that had been occurring every night suddenly stopped.

Violet and her group went to investigate, only to find that the Willowbrook Estate was eerily quiet. There wasn't a single patrol guard, and the servants had all gone to bed early.

Everyone had a strange feeling that something was wrong with Willowbrook Estate. It seemed like it was covered by a thin veil. If they could just lift it, they would see what was really going on.

The problem was, where was this veil?

It felt close, yet far away. They couldn't figure out the right approach.

Meanwhile, Hayden continued his usual routine eating, drinking, and occasionally going out. He would take Violet and the others with him to dine, drink, listen to music, watch plays, and sip a little wine. Then, he would return home in a slightly tipsy state as the evening sun set.

His days were nothing but leisure, completely unaffected by the turmoil at court or the wars beyond. He often boasted to Gordon and Sonny, "The life I'm living is far more comfortable than the king's.

Gordon would always smile and agree, "You're right, Your Highness."

However, Violet felt that living in the estate hadn't allowed her to uncover anything of note. Days were spent following Hayden from one indulgence to the next, and she had gained two pounds in the process. It felt like wasted time, with progress on the matters at hand.
