Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 871

Whether criticized or understood, news about the embroidery workshop ultimately spread far and wide. The official establishment of the workshop right after the New Year was thanks to Jacob's diligent supervision and the fact that the necessary paperwork had been completed early, with Luke in charge of procurement.

Violet tossed a bundle of banknotes into the air and confidently declared, "If it's not enough, just ask me for more!"

Luke didn't go shopping by himself. He was accompanied by the Defense Minister's wife, Hannah. They bought everything imaginable—furniture, bedding, pots and pans, looms, assorted threads, embroidery needles, and even chamber pots.

Having managed a household for many years, Hannah worked seamlessly with Luke, who oversaw the daily affairs of Hell Monarch Estate. Within just a few days, they had acquired all the essentials. Any custom items would be delivered after the New Year.

The embroidery workshop was named Skye Embroidery. Kyle personally wrote it, which was then carved into a plaque that hung over the entrance.

The townsfolk were puzzled; they had no idea who the name belonged to. They wondered why the workshop, which was intended to shelter women, didn't have a name like Compassion Embroidery.

However, it wasn't long before someone discovered that Skye was the middle name of Amelia, the deceased lady of the Warren family. Upon learning this, many people sighed and stopped targeting the embroidery workshop. Instead, they remarked on how Carissa seemed to care about her previous relationships.

Everyone knew that Amelia had thrown herself into the river, and that it was Carissa who had saved her. Though she had saved her the first time, she couldn't save her the second time.

That was the reason Carissa had established the workshop to provide refuge for abandoned women, right?

Once a tragedy had a poignant backstory, it was easy for the community to empathize. No one criticized Carissa or the Hell Monarch anymore.

Instead, the people praised their loyalty and generosity. It was known that if a woman remarried into another family, it was forbidden for her to maintain ties with her former in-laws. Thus, Rafael's broad-mindedness earned him respect.

With praise came criticism, and those who spoke out mostly scolded him for being foolish and for failing to recognize his status.
