Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 346

Chapter 346

Rafael needed to wear formal court attire, but he couldn’t manage it on his own–it was simply too complicated.

In the end, he took the attire out to the outer room and called for Luke and a servant to help him dress.

He wore a crown and a green outfit with griffin patterns embroidered on the shoulders. His waist was bound with a blue sash, and on either side of his waist hung emerald pendants decorated with gold- etched cloud and griffin patterns, threaded with emerald beads. The pendants were fastened with golden hooks and secured with four–colored ribbons.

The grand sash was woven in red, white, azure, and green. Rafael’s tall, slender frame made him appear even more imposing and dignified in this luxurious attire.

Carissa still needed to lightly brush her eyebrows and apply a touch of powder. Even with her naturally stunning beauty, it wouldn’t do to face the day without any makeup. Once she was fully dressed and groomed, Canssa was escorted out by Lily, Lulu, and her other attendants,

From where she was following behind, Lily wiped away her tears. She had promised herself not to cry, but seeing how loving Rafael and Carissa were, Lily couldn’t help but shed tears of joy.

Helen was already seated in the ceremonial chair in the main hall. The chair had been custom–made at her special request. Though she didn’t often sit in the outer courtyard’s main hall, as Carissa would typically have to visit her chambers to greet her in the future, today, she felt the need to exert her authority.

However, on their way out, Rafael and Carissa were stopped by Jacob.

Since the dowry was to be moved into the storeroom today, an inventory check would be conducted. The missing pearls would definitely need to be reported.

Jacob knew the dowry items had been registered at the local government office, with both a ledger and a gift list. If anything was missing, it would be immediately noticed during the inventory check.

When the Mystic Pearls were delivered, they were sent in a jar. Jacob had seen the gift list, and while it didn’t specify the exact number of pearls in each jar, there were some details written down.

Even if it hadn’t been explicitly noted, this matter needed to be reported to Rafael and Carissa–they couldn’t let Eleanor get away with this.

As Jacob spoke, Rafael’s expression darkened immediately. “Are you sure she took them?”

“Yes, I’m sure. They were indeed given to her, and when Gillian took them, the guards saw it with their

Despite consistently being outmaneuvered by Eleanor and Jessica, she kept trying to curry favor with them, always rushing to subject herself to their scorn.

“I’ll go myself after we return from the palace,” Rafael said.
