Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 190

Chapter 190

Eleanor’s invitation did indeed arrive at Northwatch Estate. Also, the celebration was tomorrow, but the invitation was delivered only today.

Clearly, there was no time to prepare a proper gift, so Carissa would have to choose something from the storeroom.

“Grand Princess Eleanor has always held a grudge against your family. When the late Madam Sinclair was still alive, Grand Princess Eleanor never invited her to any of her parties. Why has she invited you this time? Could it be that a crowd of gossipers is waiting for you?” said Lily, who was quite worried.

Carissa set the invitation aside. “That’s a certainty.”

She had heard about the past grievances between her parents and Eleanor. When she returned from Meadow Ridge after the deaths of her father and brothers, Carissa found out that Eleanor had sent her mother, Melanie, a “gift” that year.

Eleanor had specifically found someone to carve a miniature

sculpture. It was a small, intricately carved sculpture of a chastity belt that was maliciously inscribed with the word ‘Legacy‘. It was a cruel gesture, implying that the women of the Duke of Northwatch’s family were expected to remain widows and not remarry.

The current invitation was probably a result of Carissa’s recent achievements and her status as the duke’s legitimate daughter. Marrying her could potentially elevate someone’s rank, which might tempt some ladies from declining noble houses.

Eleanor aimed to block her path completely, so that even if Carissa remarried, she could only wed a merchant or a commoner. Yet, how. could a merchant or commoner ever achieve nobility? Such a scenario would make the notion of inheriting a title laughable.
