The next day, Carmen and Greta arrived at Hell Monarch Estate to return the horse. They also brought along gifts of gratitude. Luke met with them, but after waiting for a while without seeing Carissa, they decided to take their leave.
As they were leaving, they happened to see Violet.
She greeted Carmen warmly, saying, "Ms. Lester, you've come to return the horse? The people in the estate have been busy these past few days. Let's talk and discuss martial arts in a few days."
Carmen curtsied politely. "Thank you for your kindness, Ms. Spencer. I will certainly come to seek your guidance after some time."
With a smile, Violet waved her hand. "You should head back now. I have my own tasks to attend to."
As Greta and Carmen climbed into a carriage, Greta muttered, "Why take the long way around? You didn't see the Hell Monarch's princess consort today, but Ms. Spencer was quite enthusiastic. I think you should start with her. If you can get in good with her, you'll have more freedom to go in and out of Hell Monarch Estate. That would be a significant step forward."
Feeling a bit discontented about the delay, Greta continued, "Although your sister can be difficult, she does get things done efficiently. On the other hand, you're quite soft-spoken. Do you still want to get your mom out or not?"
"Sage Greta, can you speak to Mother and let me see my mom? Once I've seen her, I'll do my best," Carmen pleaded.
"Let's wait a few days," came the response.
Carmen persisted and bowed low. "Sage Greta, please just let me have one meeting. If you plead with Mother on my behalf, I promise I will complete my task.
"Now is the best time. With Princess Kiera's imminent wedding, things are chaotic. Right now, I can still go back to Harmony Palace. But if I catch Prince Rafael's eye, they will definitely investigate me. By then, I won't even be able to see my mom."
Seeing that Greta remained unmoved, Carmen cried, her voice tinged with a mix of sorrow and indignation, "If I have to risk my life, I deserve a reward! I can't rest easy serving Mother if I don't know how my mom is doing!"
