Her Majestic Battle Cry

Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 183

Chapter 183

Helen didn’t want to let Carissa leave so easily, at least not before she gave up the idea of marrying into the royal family. However, Carissa didn’t mind kneeling. Having been punished with kneeling plenty of times at Meadow Ridge, she had grown accustomed to it.

She had no intention of currying favor with Helen, who already had plenty of people around her doing just that. Besides, Carissa’s marriage to Rafael was a mutually beneficial arrangement. There was no need for unnecessary flattery.

In fact, Helen’s straightforward personality made her easier to deal with. She was fierce but not cunning, which was preferable to those who were two–faced.

Carissa wouldn’t bully Helen, but she wouldn’t let her future mother–in -law bully her either. It was much like when Carissa had to deal with Rebecca when she was still part of the Warren family.

Before Barrett returned, Rebecca had always been kind to her, so Carissa naturally showed her respect. But after Barrett’s return and his decision to marry Aurora, Rebecca’s attitude changed, and Carissa no longer needed to endure it.

As the standoff continued, a voice called out, “Mom!”

Kiera entered the hall with her attendants.

Kiera, who had just turned fifteen and recently had her debutante ball, was a delicate and charming girl with a hint of royal elegance. She wore a light yellow blouse and a matching pleated skirt.

As she walked in, she stole curious glances at Carissa, who was still kneeling on the floor.

Having heard from the palace attendants that Carissa, the female general, was at Evergreen Palace, Kiera had hurried over to see her.
