Avis gripped Carissa’s wrist tightly, glancing anxiously outside. Her breathing was rapid, and she struggled to keep her voice steady.

“Listen to me. Prince Yuvan is not a good man. He has been conspiring with Grand Princess Eleanor.”

Carissa was stunned. “What?”

She hurriedly sent everyone out, instructing Violet to stand guard at the door.

“Aunt Avis, what do you mean by that?”

Avis‘ head sank, her voice filled with fear and cold dread as she continued, “Over the years, he has been secretly raising troops in Valken, funded by Grand Princess Eleanor and Lady Fiona. Those soldiers are hidden in Stonebridge County.”

Carissa knew Stonebridge County. It was Eleanor’s fief, the dowry the late king had given her.

“Do not offend him. Do not become his enemy. He is not as simple as outsiders think,” Avis sald, her breath growing weaker.

Perhaps the revelation of this secret had frightened her deeply.

“Over the years, he has caused a scandal with his favoritism and abandoning his wife. Do you really think he favors Lady Fiona? It’s just a ploy to create a bad reputation and deceive the current king.” Avis added.

Carissa was horrified.

Everyone believed Yuvan to be a worthless, idle man–at least, Carissa had thought so.

Salvador might have had spies in Valken, but Stonebridge County was Eleanor’s territory, and she hadn’t even settled there. So, why would Salvador keep an eye on Stonebridge County?

No wonder Eleanor was so brazenly amassing wealth.

After revealing this, Avis lost strength and drifted into a deep, exhausted sleep.

On the twenty–eighth day of December, Avis seemed slightly better, eating half a bowl of oatmeal for lunch and another half for dinner. She even asked if there was more, and ended up eating an additional

half bowl.

Carissa was overjoyed at her aunt’s improvement. She urged Avis to rest well, hoping that after the harsh winter, everything would be better with the arrival of spring.

Avis‘ eyes shone as she smiled faintly. “Alright.”

Carissa was wrapped up in her own joy, oblivious to the silent exchange of glances between Ivy and Jasmine, both of whom sighed quietly.
