Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 

Lulu felt heartbroken seeing her mistress treated this way. Carissa had held back due to decorum, but as a lowly servant, Lulu wasn’t afraid. 

Her eyes reddened with tears as she spoke, “I may be just a humble maid, but I know right from wrong. You’re a female general, yet you got involved with someone else’s husband on the battlefield. And now, you’re bullying my mistress under the guise of military 

achievements…” 

Before Lulu could finish, Barrett angrily slapped her across the face.
