Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 29

Chapter 29

Barrett stared at Carissa in shock.

Her combat skills weren’t just a bit better than his–it was leagues beyond. Even ten of him wouldn’t stand a chance against her.

Why had she never mentioned her martial prowess before?

Carissa held the dowry list, smiling at him. Her smile was bright and radiant, like the dazzling sun. But then, with a swift motion, she lifted and dropped the list. It fluttered down like snowflakes in winter, turning into shreds of paper.

Rebecca’s heart shattered at the sight.

Enraged, she shouted, “You’ve destroyed the dowry list! Fine, get out! You can’t take anything from here, not even your clothes!”

Carissa chuckled. “Do you think anyone can stop me if I decide to take something from the estate?”

Rebecca seethed with anger. “You dare? If you take anything, I’ll report you to the officials immediately. Barret divorced you! You can’t take a single penny of the dowry!”

She leaned on her maid’s arm, commanding urgently, “Guards, throw her out! Not even her entourage can leave. They are part of the dowry.”

As the servants hesitated, uncertain whether to intervene, a loud proclamation rang out from the entrance, “A royal edict has arrived!”
