Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 1001

Chapter 1001

Helen didn’t enjoy dining with her son. Their tastes were too different, and the conversation rarely went beyond a few words. But Victoria always insisted, reminding Helen time and time again that, once a month, she had to sit down with him for a meal. Otherwise, the servants would gossip and say that Rafael and Carissa were disrespectful.

Helen sighed. That was just how life was–constantly bound by all sorts of obligations, never able to follow one’s heart’s desire.

Gillian always said Helen didn’t know how to appreciate her blessings, but she didn’t believe there was such a thing as a truly carefree life. Even in the best of times, there were problems to worry about. Even the wealthiest, most powerful people had their burdens to bear.

She would enjoy the good moments when they came, and when she was troubled, she would keep to herself–she had every right to her worries.

Rafael and Carissa weren’t the chatty types, so they would ask Violet to join them for meals. Violet had a knack for lightening the mood, turning a dull meal into something lively and entertaining.
