Chapter 503

The term “respected and remembered” revealed a great deal of information.

Just like Viola, Kayla had also lost her husband on the battlefield. They shared a common sorrow, and it was out of kindness that she had wanted to help Viola. Unfortunately, Viola didn’t appreciate the gesture, leaving Kayla quite embarrassed.

Upon hearing the lady’s identity, Carissa immediately understood the situation. However, she didn’t comment further on the matter. Instead, she changed the subject and asked Kiera which pieces she had chosen. She also needed to buy a gift for her simple–minded mother–in–law. Not bringing Helen along today would likely upset her.

The design for the Mystic Pearl set was finalized, and Kiera picked out several other pieces she loved. Hugging her sister–in–law, she exclaimed how much she adored Carissa.

Nathaniel chuckled from the side. Compared to the tense exchange between Viola and Serena outside, this pair truly showed what genuine affection looked like.

Though he was a businessman, he had great respect for the military generals who served the kingdom. The entire Duke of Northwatch’s family, from the youngest general to the current princess consort of the Hell Monarch, were known for their bravery and had made significant contributions to Starhaven.

Because of this, Nathaniel gave them a generous discount, selling everything nearly at cost. He even threw in a few extra hairpins and accessories as gifts and personally escorted them to the door.

While in the carriage, Carissa shared stories about Kayla from the Marquis of Elderglen’s family and the comparisons made between her and Viola back in the day.

“However, I only heard about this later from others. I don’t know the extent of the turmoil, but from Kayla’s tone today, she seemed unaware of the full story.”

Carissa paused and sighed.

“In reality, whether it’s Kayla or Viola, both remain widowed or to remarry–are not wrong. It’s just that each path has its own set of challenges. No one can alleviate that suffering, and one shouldn’t harbor resentment toward others who have faced similar hardships but chosen different paths.”

Violet said, “You’re right. Every choice comes with its own set of judgments. Ultimately, it’s a personal decision. Kayla chose to endure the loneliness of widowhood, and Viola, who returned home and remarried, should let go of the past and move on with her life. But because Kayla intervened to help her, Viola ended up buying that headpiece for over 36,000 silver coins.

“Can her dowry even cover that amount? I heard that when she returned to her family, the Farrell family gave her Thomas‘ compensation as well as some shops. She wouldn’t use that compensation to buy something for Serena, would she?”

Violet added somberly, “If Thomas were watching from the heavens, he would surely be rolling in his grave.”

Kiera felt distressed and leaned on Carissa’s shoulder. “Carissa, what kind of person was Thomas?”

Carissa replied, “The Farrell family has always been a military household, but they’ve never had a truly outstanding general, so they haven’t risen very high in rank. Thomas had the potential to become a

renowned general on his own. He was skilled and intelligent, and he initially served under my maternal grandfather. Later, when my father went to the Southern Frontier, my grandfather saw this opportunity for Thomas to make a name for himself and transferred him. Unfortunately, he was killed in action on the Southern Frontier.”

Carissa truly hoped that Septimus was Thomas.

Now, Oliver had been given command of the Hell Monarch Army. But despite his bravery, he lacked the all -encompassing intelligence and strategy of Thomas, falling short even compared to Louis and Timothy. Oliver’s family had merit, and he himself held a title, which was why he commanded both the Hell Monarch Army and the Sinclair Army.

The king always sought to promote young military generals. If Septimus were truly Thomas, Salvador would undoubtedly assign him significant responsibilities.

Violet rested her head against the carriage window, reflecting on what Carissa had said about Septimus. If he were indeed Thomas, his loyalty and endurance would be truly rare in this world.

He was a hero!

What was Barrett compared to him?

How could the Warren family’s conduct compare with the Farrell family’s?

Viola had compared Thomas with Barrett? Please!

She was truly nauseating!

She was nothing but a disgrace!

She didn’t deserve Thomas!
