Chapter 255 Cassian’s Message

Elowen’s voice stayed calm. “Go ahead.”

The shadow guard dipped his head slightly. “On my way back, I ran into Anson. He asked me to pass along a message–His Grace is tied up with state affairs. He most likely won’t make it here tonight.”

Cassian wasn’t coming tonight.

Instead of disappointment, Elowen felt a wave of relief wash through her.

“What happened?” she asked.

“He didn’t explain,” the guard replied. After a brief pause, he added, “But His Grace made it clear that he truly can’t get away right now. The moment he finishes, he’ll ride straight here as fast as possible to join you.”

Elowen nearly laughed.

Perfect.

If Cassian wasn’t coming, she wasn’t dying tonight.

Still, with the shadow guard watching, she lowered her gaze and let a trace of disappointment settle across her face.

“It’s alright. His duties come first–I understand,” she said softly. “When you report back, please tell him not to rush. I’m doing just fine here on my own.”

Watching her, the guard couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy.

Elowen must be swallowing her sadness to say something so thoughtful.

He silently resolved that when he reported back, he would make sure Cassian knew just how much Elowen missed him.

Once he left, the faint tension between Elowen’s brows disappeared. She even began humming a light little tune.

After checking her reflection in the mirror, she made her way toward the courtyard where Elspeth was staying.

Before she even stepped inside, she could already hear Elspeth and Yvonne chatting happily in the gazebo, their conversation flowing easily back and forth.

Elspeth noticed her first and smiled. “Ella’s here.”

Elowen walked over with a gentle smile. “I came to see whether you’re settling in comfortably.”

Then she turned to Yvonne with polite warmth. “And I see the Duchess of Falconcrest is here as well. I was planning to stop by and greet you too.”

Yvonne stood and returned the courtesy. “Thank you for your concern, Your Grace. Everything is quite comfortable.”

Elspeth affectionately pulled Elowen down beside her. “You came at the perfect moment. Sit with us.”

Elowen sat, her gaze drifting toward the distant silhouette of Dawnfall Ridge.

“This is my first time here,” she said. “I didn’t even realize there was a hot–springs estate in a place like this. I’d only heard people talk about how beautiful Dawnfall Ridge is–especially at sunrise and sunset.”

Yvonne’s curiosity showed immediately. “I heard your brother and sister–in–law first met on that mountain.”

Elowen’s eyes curved with a smile. “You really are well informed.”

She paused, her voice softening into a quiet sigh.

“A while ago, I heard Cassian mention there’s a Serenity Church up on Dawnfall Ridge. It’s quite famous. People say prayers there are especially effective–whether you’re hoping for a good match… or for children.”

As she spoke, her hand drifted unconsciously to rest against her lower abdomen. Her expression dimmed slightly.

“I’ve been married to Cassian for some time now, and still nothing. I suppose I should go offer a proper prayer.”

Then she turned toward Elspeth, her voice carrying a faint note of coaxing.

“Aunt, do you have time to come with me? I don’t want to go alone. It would feel too lonely.”

Elspeth smiled immediately. “Of course I’ll go with you.”

Then she warmly invited Yvonne. “Why don’t you join us as well? A walk would do you good.”

Yvonne smiled and nodded.

Elowen seemed to think of something and asked, “Should we bring Sylvia along?”

For a brief moment, Yvonne’s smile faltered.

“Perhaps not,” she said. “Sylvia’s marriage has already been arranged by His Majesty, so there’s nothing to pray for in that regard. And since she isn’t married yet, there’s no need to pray for children either.”

Elowen wasn’t surprised. She simply nodded and instructed the servants to prepare a carriage.

Within fifteen minutes, an elegantly decorated carriage rolled out from the estate, heading toward Dawnfall Ridge.

Serenity Church stood halfway up the mountain. Because distinguished guests were visiting, the gates had already been closed to outsiders.

When the church attendant heard that guests from Duskmoor Manor had arrived, he quickly went to inform the prior.
