Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 476

Janice had always accompanied Helen, so she had intended to go along as well. However, Carissa asked her to stay behind.

"I'm short of people in my room. Please stay here and assist me for now."

Janice bowed her head. "Yes, Your Grace!"

She stopped in her tracks, and did not follow. A hint of panic flashed in her eyes—had Carissa noticed something?

Carissa smiled warmly. "I've heard from Mother that you're skilled at hairstyling. From now on, you'll work as a hairstylist in my quarters."

Seeing Carissa's gentle smile, Janice asked, "Your Grace, Lulu has always been the one to do your hair. If I take over her duties, won't it be inappropriate?"

Carissa reassured her, "Lulu has other tasks to attend to. It's not about taking someone's place. There's no need for you to feel uneasy."

Janice finally felt somewhat reassured. "Understood. If Lady Helen agrees, I'll serve you in Orchid Hall, Your Grace."

She cast a secretive glance at Rafael. He remained indifferent, clearly showing no sign of suspicion.

Gracehold Estate was brightly lit. The Earl of Gracehold and his wife, along with other members of the household, came out to welcome Helen.

Helen said kindly, "There's no need to make such a fuss. I've come just to visit my niece."

The expressions of those present were hard to describe.

They had been worried all day that Harvey and Heather might come to question them. But by evening, no one from Hartstone Estate had arrived, which offered them a slight sense of relief.

Just as they were about to settle in for the night, Helen arrived unexpectedly.

Knowing Helen's reputation, Abigail understood that while Helen could be managed, she could also be quite formidable, depending on the situation.

Helen had barely settled down when she said, "Everyone, please don't disperse yet. I'll go see Leona first, and then return to speak with all of you."

Though Helen spoke with a smile, her words cast a chill over the Earl of Gracehold's residence.
