Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 310

Chapter 310

After Rowan returned to the physician’s office, he reported to Sebastian about Carissa’s Inquiry regarding Avis.

Sebastian glanced at him, and asked sternly, “You didn’t say anything inappropriate, did you?”

Rowan replied, “I would never do that. I only mentioned that Lady Avis has gone to Verdant Monastery for her recovery.”

Sebastian sighed. “We should keep this under wraps for now. Let’s address it after the wedding. If she learns of it now, she’ll certainly go there herself.”

Rowan nodded. “I think the same. With the wedding so close and yesterday’s art exhibition drawing even the king, no one in the capital will dare to speak ill of her. If we stir up trouble with Prince Yuvan at this critical moment, it will only lead to endless disputes

“Exactly. She’s already facing criticism and jealousy for her second marriage and high status. Yesterday’s art exhibition silenced those gossips. If the wedding proceeds smoothly and she hears only good things, then life will be easier afterward.”

Rowan chuckled. “Are you becoming superstitious?”

Sebastian shot him a disapproving look, “What do you know? We physicians have to study more than just. medicine. We also have to learn some divination and astrology. Some things just can’t be explained. The Duke of Northwatch’s family has suffered so much. It feels like the heavens are targeting them for punishment. Hearing more good things and causing less trouble will help them get through this wedding smoothly. That’s all I want.”

“Yes, sir!” Rowan admitted he was only skilled in medicine and not in divination like Ivy.

Sebastian sat in the inner hall, his apprentice serving him coffee which he didn’t drink. Instead, he stared blankly at the liquid in his cup.

He had never married, and had no children. Apart from Hector, he had no close friends. He saw Hector’s children as his own, and the suffering they had endured weighed heavily on him.

Carissa had lost her parents, and he had to consider her future carefully. Avis cared deeply for Carissa, but how could she protect Carissa while having her own predicament?

And then there was the Sullivan family, stationed at Victory Pass, guarding the frontier. As military generals, they couldn’t easily return to the capital. Even if Dominic wished to protect his granddaughter, his strength was limited.
