Her Majestic Battle Cry 571
Chapter 571
The light rain had been falling for several days. As Viola stepped down from the carriage, her thoughts seemed distant, and she accidentally stepped into a puddle, soaking her shoes.
“Madam Viola!”
Viola’s new maid was named Poppy. She was clumsy, and lacked manners. “I’m so sorry I didn’t help you properly.”
Viola shook off her hand and snapped, “Just follow me.‘

Poppy followed meekly behind her. She was curious about everything since she had only recently been bought, and had yet to learn proper manners. Upon entering Silverstone Estate, she was amazed at its grandeur compared to the Valor Estate, and she couldn’t help but glance around.

Viola was disdainful of Poppy’s ignorance. “Just stay close to me and stop looking around.”
An old maid who was always by Evelyn’s side came out to greet them. The old maid smiled as she said, “Ms. Viola, why get upset with a maid who doesn’t know any better? It’s better to teach her slowly and not lose your temper over it.”

Viola adjusted her hairpin, knowing that the old servant was reminding her to keep her composure and not appear ill–mannered
However, in the Warren family household, maintaining composure was not a luxury one could afford.
Viola wasn’t even sure how she ended up in such a mess. She always lost her composure without realizing it, and she was constantly on the edge of madness.
“Rosie, where is my mother?” Viola asked.
“She is in Kindred Hall. Please follow me, Ms. Viola,” Rosie replied.
“Kindred Hall?”
Viola furrowed her brow. That was Zoey’s usual spot for quiet reflection. Ever since the last time Viola had taken money from her family, she had avoided speaking with Zoey, especially in private.
“Isn’t Mom supposed to meet me?”

“Yes, Madam Evelyn is in Kindred Hall,” Rosie confirmed.
“Mom is there too?”
“Yes. Madam Evelyn, Madam Zoey, and Madam Luna are all there.”
Viola’s frown deepened. “Luna is there too? What on earth is going on?”

“It seems the earl has sent a letter home, so Madam Evelyn specifically asked for to come,” Rosie explained.

Upon hearing the news, Viola’s mood brightened immediately. “My elder brother’s letter has arrived? No wonder everyone has gathered. Alright, I’ll head to Kindred Hall.
”
Having said that, Viola hurried to Kindred Hall.
After a long while, Viola collapsed into a chair, her eyes wide with disbelief. Her chest felt as if a heavy stone was pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.
“Impossible! How could this be? How can a dead person come back to life? I don’t believe it.”
Evelyn said, “Whether you believe it or not, that’s what your brother’s letter says. He’s seen them himself. It’s pitiful, really. He says they’ve changed so much, and who knows what suffering they’ve endured over the years?”
“Impossible. It’s impossible,” Viola muttered, but she couldn’t help asking, “When will they return?”
Evelyn replied, “They won’t be coming back to the capital anytime soon. The Marquis of Elderglen’s second son is in poor condition. He’s said to have suffered greatly after being captured. It’s so tragic, and they don’t know if he’ll make it through.”
“Kayla’s husband?” Viola gasped. “He’s still alive?”
“Yes, all–eleven of them are alive. They’ve achieved great merit, and the king will certainly reward them upon their return,” Evelyn said with a sigh. “The Farrell family must be overjoyed, though it’s a pity we no longer have any ties with them. Otherwise, I would have gone to celebrate with them. And don’t forget, Mr. Cooper’s two sons are also alive. You know the Larkin family’s son, right? He’s also alive. And there’s the third son of the Jensen family…”

Viola’s eyes widened. “Tobias Jensen? His wife also returned to her family and has remarried now, hasn’t she?”
Since Tobias had not made any significant achievements in the military, he was less discussed compared to Viola and Kayla. Viola and Kayla had no children, whereas others did. Having children meant having hope for the future, and it allowed one to wait for brighter days.
That was why people compared Kayla and Viola.
“Tobias‘ wife also remarried, just like me,” Viola said with a trembling voice, but her eyes were filled with joy and excitement.
She had once looked down on Tobias‘ wife, considering their different statuses–she was a noble daughter of an earl’s family, while Tobias‘ wife was of a lower status.
But now, Viola eagerly mentioned Tobias‘ wife with enthusiasm.
