Chapter 199 

Carissa’s voice softened, losing the earlier sternness and coldness.” 

Your Highness, I wish you a long life that’s as enduring as a 

mountain.” 

Eleanor’s gaze slowly shifted away from Carissa’s face, and the rising resentment and thoughts were gradually suppressed. “Thank you, Carissa. Bring the gift forward. 

A servant stepped up to receive the scroll. 

Jessica remarked coldly, “It seems the gift is a painting or calligraphy. I wonder which master’s work it is. I hope it isn’t something casually bought from the street.” 

Carissa smiled faintly. “Even if it were something casually bought from the street, it is still a token of my sincerity. Just as when my father and brothers sacrificed their lives, Grand Princess Eleanor sent my mother a symbol of chastity. It was also a gesture from your heart, wasn’t it?” 

No one had known of this particular event, but Carissa’s words sent shockwaves through the room. The crowd’s expressions varied, but no one dared to speak out. 

The thought that a royal princess would send something so cursed was chilling. 

Hector had died for the kingdom. How could the grand princess bestow such a thing to his family? 

Helen gasped, unable to contain herself. “A symbol of chastity? What a cruel curse! Are you condemning the ladies of their family to be widows for generations?”

widowed woman would use, as it was to commemorate and celebrate widows who did not remarry, often as a symbol of their loyalty and virtue. 

In this case, it seemed like a curse against Rafael! 

Despite her fear of Eleanor, Helen couldn’t help but voice her 

outrage. 

Eleanor’s gaze turned icy as she addressed Helen. “Helen, do you speak without understanding the situation? Have you seen me give Melanie a symbol of chastity?” 

Helen hesitated and glanced at Carissa, uncertain whether it was 

true or not. 

Eleanor’s gaze then returned to Carissa, her eyes cold and her tone 

stern. 

“I have no grudge against the Duke of Northwatch’s family. I don’t understand why you would accuse me of such things in front of everyone. If you have that symbol of chastity, show it. If not, accusing me is a serious matter, and I will hold you accountable.” 

Eleanor’s eyes were a fierce and menacing glare, as if she intended. to devour Carissa alive. For someone of her stature to direct such a look at a mere orphan from a noble house should have been intimidating enough to make Carissa retreat. 

But Carissa was not intimidated. She even managed a smile. 

“My late mother had received your good intentions, Your Highness. If any of the ladies wish to see it, they are welcome to visit my family. estate another day.. 

“As for whether it was sent by Your Highness, that is something only you would know. Whether you admit it or not, it’s a fact that can’t be erased. Finding the original carver should not be difficult. I fear that such a sinister item is unique in all of Starhaven.” 

“How dare you!” Eleanor’s anger flared, 

When had she ever been so offended? 

“Are you trying to force me to admit something? Talk of sinister Items and the like–what nonsense! think your family is the one that brought about-” 

“Brought about what?” Carissa stepped forward, her gaze as cold as ice.
