Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 385

"She's ill, so she moved to Verdant Monastery. She wanted peace and quiet to recover, and the monastery has the blessing of the Lord," Carissa replied.

Kiera was puzzled. "But if she's sick, shouldn't she stay at Horizon Estate? At least there, if anything happens, the household can be notified immediately."

Even Kiera understood this logic, so how could Yuvan not know?

Carissa was actually quite concerned. Yuvan's fief was in Valken, which was not too far from both Verdant Monastery and the capital.

If it were truly about recuperation, wouldn't it have been better to bring Avis back to the capital? After all, the royal family was in the capital. There were also the royal physicians and Sebastian to watch over her.

Now that Avis was at Verdant Monastery, Sebastian had sent two of his apprentices, Jasmine and Ivy, to care for her. But still, without any family around, it must be lonely.

"I'll find out more once I get there. In the meantime, Mother, please keep an eye on Ryan for me," Carissa said.

"Of course, leave it to me," Helen agreed, patting her chest in assurance, clearly eager to help Carissa.

Helen's response left Kiera stunned. She had been preoccupied with all sorts of snacks recently and wasn't aware of what had been happening in the estate.

As soon as Carissa left, Kiera quietly asked, "Mom, weren't you at odds with my sister-in-law? How did you become so close?"

Helen sighed. "Your sister-in-law is a pitiful person. Ryan is all she has left. As her mother-in-law, I shouldn't make things harder for her. I ought to treat her like my own daughter."

Kiera found this odd.

"But back when we were in the palace, you didn't say that. When I tried to advise you, you wouldn't listen."

"Who said I didn't listen? I listened, and that's why I'm treating her well now."

Seeing her mother's slightly guilty expression, Kiera decided not to press further. As long as her mother treated her sister-in-law well, that was all that mattered.
