Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 425

Carissa looked at Leona's swollen, red eyes, which she was trying to hide behind a fan.

With a sigh, Carissa said, "So, you knew I was here, but still didn't want to see me?"

Leona replied with a nasal tone, "Cari, my eyes are in no condition to be seen."

Carissa glanced at her. "You're right. They're swollen so badly."

"Cari…" Leona's voice choked up again. "Because of that incident, he insults me every day. How can he be so cruel?"

Carissa frowned. "If he insults you, why don't you insult him back?"

"I…" Leona's tears fell once more. "I don't know how."

Carissa was at a loss. She turned to Alana. "Alana, do you know how to insult someone?"

"Oh, I'm very good at it," Alana replied.

"Good. From now on, if Mr. Langley comes and insults the duchess, you insult him back. Remember one principle: if he insults you, insult him back. If he gets physical, you get physical."

"Got it," Alana said.

"Cari, who are these two?" Leona asked, wiping her tears away and looking at the newcomers curiously.

"They are senior guild members from one of the guilds in Meadow Ridge. They know some martial arts and medicine, so they can oversee your meals and help you deal with anyone you can't handle."

"Thank you, Cari." Leona's tears flowed freely again, as if there were no end to them.

"Enough, stop crying!" Carissa said, her temper flaring. "Crying all the time isn't good for the baby. You're a duchess and married into an earl's household, which is already a step-down. Why are you still being treated so poorly? What kind of duchess is so helpless? I hope you can learn something from Jessica. Although she's made her husband's family dislike her, at least she hasn't suffered as you have."
