Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277

After finishing her statement, Viola smiled again. “But it might be for the best that you’re separated. Now, marrying the Hell Monarch and becoming a princess consort is certainly better than being a general’s wife, isn’t it?”

Carissa didn’t appreciate the ambiguous tone in Viola’s words.

“Fate cannot be controlled by human will. When I divorced, I never considered marrying the Hell Monarch,” she said flatly.

Evelyn’s face darkened as she reproached her daughter. “Vjola, how can you speak like that?”

“Forgive me. I speak bluntly by nature. I hope you won’t take offense, Lady Sinclair.”

Viola’s smile faded as she continued, “In that case, how do you view Barrett’s character? Since you’ve divorced him, he must be quite lacking in your eyes.”

Carissa found the question amusing. “Since you’ve already made such a statement, why ask me?”

Evelyn shot Viola a sharp look, then turned to Carissa with an apologetic tone.” Please don’t mind her, Lady Sinclair. She’s used to speaking freely after being on her own for years. We came not only to visit Lord Ryan, but also to learn from you about Barrett’s character. At the very least, we’d like to know your opinion of him.”

“If you truly want to understand what kind of person he is, asking me isn’t the best approach. As Ms. Prince mentioned, since I’ve divorced him, it’s clear that I couldn’t tolerate him. How could he be considered a good person in my eyes?” Carissa said.

Seeing the change in expressions on both mother and daughter’s faces, Carissa took a sip of her coffee and continued, “However, my grievances with him are personal. From the moment of our divorce, we became strangers, and those grievances faded away. I don’t really know Barrett well. He went off to war on our wedding night, and by the time he returned, he was preparing to marry another woman. So, until our divorce, it’s fair to say that I knew him as little as a stranger.”

Evelyn nodded in understanding. “In that case, you both were indeed practically strangers.”

“I truly came to know him on the battlefield of the Southern Frontier,” Carissa added.

Viola’s attitude changed to one of respect. “Oh, I almost forgot. You also made.

contributions on the Southern Frontier battlefield, Lady Sinclair.
