Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 5
She even defied Rebecca, the matriarch of the family!
“She’ll come around. She doesn’t have any other choice,” Rebecca said coldly.
That was true.
With Carissa’s family gone, she had no one to rely on except the Warren family. Besides, she was still Barrett’s rightful wife, and it wasn’t like she had been mistreated.
–
Early the next morning, Carissa and Lulu returned to Northwatch Estate.
The estate was bleak and covered in fallen leaves. After just half a year of neglect, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds that were taller than a person. Stepping back into the estate, Carissa’s heart ached fiercely.
Six months ago, she had collapsed upon hearing that her family had been massacred. She had wept when she saw the lifeless bodies of her grandmother and mother—their corpses cold and devoid of warmth. Every corner of the estate had been stained with blood.
Memorial plaques for her ancestors and mother had been placed at the estate’s family chapel. Carissa and Lulu prepared flowers to place on the plaques, their tears unceasing.
Carissa knelt before her parents’ memorials. Though her eyes were swollen from crying, they held a determined gaze.
“Dad, Mom, if you can hear me from heaven, please forgive your daughter for what she is about to do. It’s not that I don’t want a peaceful life with a husband and children, but Barrett is not someone I can trust with my life. Rest assured, I promise Lulu and I will live well.”
Lulu knelt beside her, sobbing uncontrollably.
After they were done, they boarded a carriage and headed straight for the palace. It was noon by the time they arrived.
Under the scorching autumn sun, Carissa and Lulu stood like statues in front of the palace gates. They waited for a full hour, but no one came to let them in.
Lulu was distressed and said, “My lady, the king might not see you. Maybe he thinks you’re here to oppose his edict about the marriage. You didn’t eat last night or have breakfast today. Are you holding up okay? Should I go get you something to eat?”
“I’m not hungry.”
