Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1386

Zoey chose not to tell Evelyn or Viola about her plan. The next day, as they set off for their routine visit to Arcane Sanctum, Zoey disguised herself as a peasant woman and quietly followed them.

She trailed them the entire way. From the moment they left to when they returned, no one came close to their donkey cart, and it didn't even make a single stop along the way.

After returning to Skye Embroidery, Viola immediately began preparing medicine. At the workshop, no one had servants. Everyone took turns cooking. When Viola first arrived, she was utterly inexperienced. It took three days of practice for her to even be able to start a fire, and the first meal she cooked was barely edible.

The people at Skye Embroidery were cooperative but also fond of teasing. They joked and said Viola carried herself like a lady of high status but didn't have the luck to actually live that life.

At first, Viola was furious and felt unjustly treated, as though the others were deliberately targeting her. She couldn't understand why she had to endure this. But one day, when Jessica came to visit Skye Embroidery, she personally cooked a meal. Though it wasn't perfect in taste or appearance, it was well- seasoned and balanced.

Seeing that, Viola fell silent. She knew exactly what kind of person Jessica had been a once-arrogant duchess, so proud and untouchable. After being divorced and taken back into the family, she somehow managed to swallow her pride and even cooked meals for this group of abandoned women.

The surprising part? Jessica actually knew how to cook.

But that wasn't what truly shocked Viola. Even Leona, a guest staying at the workshop, could step into the kitchen and whip up an incredible meal. Viola was dumbfounded.

From then on, even if she wasn't the one cooking, she would always help in the kitchen. She picked up the tasks and learned as she went. Now, her skills had surpassed Jessica's.
