Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 

Carissa didn’t mention Salvador’s strange edict to her friends. Instead, she simply thanked them for their help in the Southern Frontier. 

“The Sandorian soldiers killed my father and brothers. My trip to the Southern Frontier was primarily for revenge. You’ve helped me achieve that, and I will remember this kindness.” 

Hearing this, everyone felt a lot better. 

Indeed, Carissa’s father and brothers had been killed by the Sandorian soldiers. According to the martial world’s code, a life for a life was a matter of principle. They had merely assisted Carissa in avenging her family, and need not dwell on anything beyond that. 

Putting aside her own troubles, Carissa said, “Now that everyone’s well–rested and well–fed, how about we go out and shop? Also, please help me bring some items back to my master.“. 

“That sounds good,” Violet replied. “But we don’t have any money. The king hasn’t given us our reward yet.” 

Travis looked at Carissa blankly. “Do you think the king might have. forgotten?” 

Carissa smiled. “He certainly hasn’t forgotten. The king promised to reward the army personally. Since we’ve achieved military merits, the rewards will definitely be generous.” 

“I hope we get a hundred gold coins! That would cover our annual rent for ten years,” Travis said with a grin. 

In the Lunar Guild, Travis was the only male member. Though the guild was based in Meadow Ridge, the land was owned by the Pathfinders Guild. Every year, the Lunar Guild had to pay rent to them. However, the Lunar Guild had little business, and Travis’s 

master was quite traditional, so the apprentices focused solely on martial arts and weren’t allowed to engage in trade. 

And I want to buy some makeup for the girls in the guild. They always dress so plainly, and their clothes are patched up repeatedly. If I bring back some fine silk, my master surely won’t scold me for going to the battlefield… Oh, and need to buy some hairpins and accessories…” 

Violet interrupted, “Your master won’t blame you for going to the battlefield, but if you dare to bring those things back, a good thrashing would be the least of your worries. He might just chop off all ten of your fingers.” 

Everyone laughed. It was indeed a real possibility. 

Before they could leave, Dylan arrived and informed them that it was time to collect their rewards. 

Violet and the others indeed received a hundred gold coins each. Carissa, having achieved merit by breaking through the city wall, was awarded one thousand gold coins and promoted to the rank of fourth–ranked general. Though she held the rank, no official position was assigned to her. 

Travis was overjoyed with his gold coins. He clutched the gold to his chest, and nibbled at it piece by piece. Seeing this, Violet gave him her own gold coins as well. 

“You can have it all. I don’t need it.” 

Travis’s eyes widened in disbelief. “But it’s gold! Why don’t you want it?” 

“I obviously don’t need it. I’m not interested in it,” Violet replied nonchalantly. She had never lacked money in her life–what she lacked was affection. 

Travis grabbed the bag. “Is there really someone who doesn’t value 

gold? Wat how thy does your family have?” 

ngat much but enough to support the Inferno Guild,” Violet said Indifferently 

Travis’s eyes widened even more “Dood heavens! Your family supports the interno Guld? No wonder you seem to live so comfortably. Despite not engaging in any business or escort missions, you always have a bountiful supply of meat and vegetables. So it’s all funded by your family?” 

During their time in Meadow Ridge although they had spent a lot of time together, they had little knowledge of each other’s 

backgrounds. They usually discussed martial arts or amusing. stories from their respective guilds. 

“Aren’t we supposed to be out shopping? Let’s go,” Violet said. She clearly didn’t want to delve into family matters.
