Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1193

Carissa had her own list of reminders for Rafael to be careful on the road, to stay alert, and most importantly, if he came across any “pretty flowers” along the way, to look but not bring

The hint of jealousy in her tone made Rafael’s heart soar with joy. As he swung himself onto his horse, he flashed a grin and swore his loyalty.

“I won’t even spare a glance,” he promised.

However, Travis looked puzzled for a moment, then asked, “What flowers could you possibly find on the road in the middle of winter? Even if there are any, they’re likely being well- tended by someone. How could anyone just pick them? You can look, but why wouldn’t you look?”

His confusion made both Jacob and Kyle chuckle

Violet snorted and teased, “Poor fool, stop talking! You’re completely missing the point. You’re talking about one thing when they’re talking about something completely different.” Travis scratched his chin, deep in thought. He still couldn’t understand it, even when Dylan called out for departure.

Jacob, Lily, and Carissa’s other attendants also followed Helen back in. Carissa and Violet remained, watching as the group rode slowly away.
