Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 559

In the dead of night, Violet knocked on the door of the Arcane Sanctum. Sebastian lived on the second floor of the sanctum.

Sebastian had already gone to bed, and was accusted to early bedtimes for his health. By the time Violet arrived, he had been asleep for over an hour.

Even the renowned physician had his moments of irritation. When his apprentice reported that Violet had arrived, he donned a robe and glared at Violet as he came downstairs.

“You’d better have a good reason for this visit. I’m not on duty tonight.”

Violet bowed in apology. “Forgive the disturbance, but Prince Rafael sent us a message via carrier pigeon. He requests that you accompany Cari to Westglade to save Lawrence Zielger.”

“Lawrence Ziegler?” Sebastian hesitated momentarily before recalling the Marquis of Elderglen’s second son, who was already reported dead.

Without further ado, Sebastian ordered, “Vanda, Mira, prepare the necessary supplies and come along. Bring the best medicine for wounds, the gold needles, and…”

He paused, showing a hint of reluctance, though minimal. “Bring the thousand–year- old Evergreen Root as well.”

Sebastian’s response to an emergency was unparalleled. He arrived at Hell Monarch Estate ahead of Carissa to await her.

Before setting out, Carissa took the carrier pigeon’s note to her mother–in–law.

“Tomorrow, you must go to the palace and deliver this note to the king. Make sure to tell him our pigeon is reliable, and given the urgency of the situation, I left the city tonight.”

Helen took the note and asked, “Is it really necessary? The situation is dire, but you can explain it properly when you return to the capital. You have the permit to leave. the city, and you’re going to save someone..

Carissa cut her off and said seriously, “It’s very necessary. Listen to me, okay? Go early tomorrow morning. Don’t delay even for a moment.”

She turned to Gillian. “Gillian, please ensure that Mother goes to the palace tomorrow.”

Gillian responded loudly, “Rest assured, Lady Carissa. Lady Helen will definitely take the carrier pigeon’s note to the palace tomorrow and report to the king as you’ve instructed.”

“Good, I’m leaving now.”

Carissa trusted Gillian completely. With that, she tied and departed.

Helen was still pondering the situation. As she watched Carissa’s determined figure. leave, she muttered, “Carissa’s so resolute, like a man.”

Gillian defended Carissa, “My lady, that’s called decisive action. Besides, not every man can compare to our princess consort.

“Hey!” Helen shot her a glare. “You were completely against Rafael marrying her at first. Now, it seems you’re quite taken with her.”

Gillian adopted a proud stance. “Anyone who goes against Lady Carissa is also going against me. I won’t let them off easily.”

“Oh, so you’ve grown some backbone?” Helen remarked.

Gillian smiled. “How could I not? Lady Carissa is capable, so I also need to have some skills. Besides, don’t I have your support if I fall short, my lady?”

Helen huffed. “I think that Carissa is just a little enchantress, pulling everyone’s coul

away. She’s enchanted not only Rafael, but also you.”

“And even you, my lady,” Gillian replied with a smile. “Alright then, get some rest. You need to head to the palace early tomorrow.”

Helen replied coldly, “I won’t go. Let anyone who wants to go. Does she think she can. boss me around?”

Gillian was unperturbed by Helen’s words. She arranged the bedding meticulously, and even had someone fetch more ice. She was sharing a room with Helen, and had a small bed of her own. Helen didn’t like the heat, and enjoyed sleeping under cool blankets with ice to keep her comfortable.

“Take out the dark red gown with rose patterns. It’s a new summer gown that I haven’t worn yet, and I want to show it to my sister tomorrow,” Helen instructed Gillian before going to sleep.

“Understood, Lady Helen!” Gillian retrieved the outfit from the wardrobe and set it aside, ready for the morning.

Carissa and her group left the city together, but they would travel in two separate groups.

Julian, Travis, and Sebastian could ride horses and would set out first.

Violet and Carissa were capable of riding horses, but they needed to accompany Kayla. Kayla was not skilled in riding, and would travel by carriage.

For Kayla, traveling at night was a new experience. She had rarely traveled far in her life, especially not to a distant place like Westglade.

She wasn’t nervous, but she was worried. Carissa had explained everything to her during the carriage ride.

Kayla didn’t shed another tear. If her husband could be so strong, she resolved to be strong as well.
