Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 567

After a moment of silence, Tobias asked, "What about my wife?"

He had only been married for six months when he went off to war.

Violet also knew about Tobias' situation, and she said with a hint of regret, "She has remarried."

Tobias couldn't hide his disappointment, but asked, "Is she doing well?"

Violet shook her head. "I don't know. I didn't ask."

Tears glistened in Tobias' eyes. "It's my fault. I let her down."

Homer also inquired, "Ms. Spencer, do you know if my wife…"

Homer's father was a commander under Hector, and Homer had fought alongside him on the Southern Frontier. His father was killed in battle, and Homer was captured afterward.

Violet wasn't familiar with the Larkin family situation, as Claire hadn't investigated them.

However, Carissa knew more about the Larkin family and explained, "Your wife fell seriously ill two years ago. Sebastian treated her, but your mother was overwhelmed by the loss of both you and your father on the battlefield. She became distraught, and now barely recognizes anyone. Mira has been treating her. For specific details, you can ask Mira."

Homer covered his face with his hands, utterly distraught.

Felix didn't ask, as he had learned from his elder brother that his fiancee hadn't been left alone and waiting for him.

That brought him some comfort.

Scott and Wilfred were from Stonebrook District, and refrained from asking about their family. They planned to return to Stonebrook District after accompanying their party back to the capital.

Ivan wasn't married, and he asked about his own family. Violet assured him that everyone was well, and he felt relieved.

He looked at his cousin Thomas, who appeared dejected, and went over to offer comfort.

"Thomas, it's not a bad thing if your wife has remarried. After all, we've let our families down, and they're not to blame."

Violet also glanced at Thomas. Perhaps because she had initially thought Septimus was Thomas, she paid particular attention to him.

The morning after Carissa left the capital, Helen went to the palace. She did not seek out Salvador directly, but went to find Victoria instead.

She handed over a note to Victoria and sighed. "Kiera's wedding is approaching, yet Carissa has gone far away. Who will clean up the mess she left behind?"

While calling for the king, Victoria glared at Helen with irritation.

"Did you enter the palace just to enjoy yourself? Kiera is your daughter. If she's getting married, you should handle everything as her mother. If not you, who's supposed to handle it? You can't rely on Carissa for everything! Is Carissa just your servant?"

Helen replied, "You're being biased."

Victoria said, "Look at the wrinkles on your own face. Are you really jealous of your daughter-in-law? You should be careful not to overlook your own flaws."

Helen quickly touched the corners of her eyes. "What are you talking about? I don't have any wrinkles. I take great care of myself."

Victoria looked at her. Despite herself, she smiled indulgently. "Alright, go visit Lady Ruth. She has been ill for several days. The king will be coming soon, so don't stay here."

Helen stood up and said, "Then I will take my leave."
