Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 657

The next day, Rafael returned to the Supreme Court, and Carissa checked in on the study. Kyle and Jacob still hadn't come out, so she had someone send in some food but didn't disturb them.

Violet came over to speak with her briefly, and Carissa nodded. "Let's go, and we'll drop Ryan off at the academy on the way."

Evan and Ryan had become the best of friends. Although Evan didn't qualify to attend the academy, he had learned quite a bit just by following Ryan around.

The carriage ride was filled with chatter, with Carissa smiling and occasionally joining in. After they dropped Ryan off at the academy, the carriage turned around and stopped at a well-known coffeehouse in the capital.

The two of them didn't sit down inside. Instead, they slipped out through a side door and walked a few streets over, arriving at Blueflower Alley.

Violet stopped in front of a residence, and knocked. After a moment, the door opened, and Carmen greeted them softly. "Lady Carissa, Ms. Spencer, my father is waiting inside."

Carissa asked, "How did you get out? Weren't you staying with the Lester family? Didn't Greta follow you?"

Carmen replied, "My dad isn't well, so I came to visit. Greta had to go see my sister, so she didn't come along."

Of course, Henry wasn't actually sick. He'd simply used the excuse to arrange this meeting with Carissa.

Carissa and Violet found Henry in the study. Though he wasn't ill, his hair was messy, and he looked pale—enough to convince an outsider. He sat slumped in his chair, his posture slightly hunched. Even when he raised his eyes, they lacked their usual energy.

"Dad, Lady Carissa and Ms. Spencer are here," Carmen said.

"I see them," Henry replied flatly. He studied Carissa and Violet for a moment before saying, "Please, sit."

Neither Carissa nor Violet bothered with formalities, and sat down directly.
