Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 636

Carissa stayed awake the entire time to watch over Leona, while Violet pulled up a chair to sit outside the room. No one dared enter.

Abigail sent meals for them, but Carissa couldn't eat a thing. Violet managed a few bites, but the image of Leona's body contorted in pain haunted her and made it hard to swallow.

In the middle of the night, Leona woke up. She opened her eyes in a daze and called out for Carissa, who had been holding her hand the whole time. When she heard Leona's voice, she squeezed her hand tightly.

"I'm here. It's okay."

Ivy took the chance to feed the duchess some medicine. Leona took it obediently, but her eyelids grew heavy after a while and she drifted back to sleep. Yet, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.

Carissa gently wiped them away. "It's okay. You've made it through the worst of it. It'll be fine now."

Leona's exhaustion was obvious from her complexion. It would take three doses of medicine for her to regain even a bit of strength. She woke up briefly to take the second dose, but quickly fell back asleep.

Ivy rested for a while, then approached Carissa and whispered, "Lady Carissa, why don't you take a break? I can keep watch."

"No need. I'm not sleepy," Carissa replied, shaking her head. "You worked hard during the day, so you should get some rest. You'll still need to administer the medicine one more time before dawn."

"Yes. Prince Harvey has left, but Lady Heather is staying in the estate. She's just in the next room. She probably wants to stop you from taking Lady Leona away," Ivy replied.

"She won't be able to stop me. I'm determined to take her with me," Carissa firmly said.

After Rafael left, he went to see Jeremiah and explained everything.

The following morning, after the court session, Jeremiah spoke to Salvador in his study. Whatever he said caused the king to erupt in anger. Samuel's status as a top scholar was revoked, and his name was struck from the National Examination Register. Salvador also ordered the Supreme Court to handle the case.

Once the case was underway, Leona wouldn't have any problems divorcing Samuel.

The following day, Harvey arrived just as Carissa was prepared to leave with Leona on her back. He, Heather, and some people from the Earl of Gracehold's family tried to stop her, but they didn't dare use force. They could only resort to trying to persuade her with words.
