However, Samuel had been taken to the Supreme Court. It would be no easy feat to get him out.
If word of Dorothy’s hunger strike were to spread, it would make the Earl of Gracehold’s family seem like they were neglecting her. So, even though they knew the chances were slim, they still pulled strings and asked people to plead with the king on their behalf.
Noah had some connections of his own. They told him that if Leona forgave Samuel and was willing to let him off, there was a possibility of him being released.
However, who would dare approach Leona at this point? They weren’t shameless enough to do so, nor did they dare to, especially since Carissa was standing guard over her.
In the end, Noah went to Harvey, who had spoken out in Samuel’s defense when he was arrested. It was clear that he didn’t want Leona and Samuel to get divorced, so Noah could only seek out Harvey in this
situation
Harvey agreed to help, but whether he would actually go to the Supreme Court was a different matter altogether. It wasn’t like the Earl of Gracehold’s fa knew either.
Meanwhile, Heather was eager to see Leona. Given that a royal edict had already been issued, the divorce was imminent and there was no room for negotiation. So, Heather planned on bringing her daughter back home.
Just as she was about to set off, she noticed Carissa arriving with Frederick and Lily, bringing a carriage full of items. They had come to return the gifts Heather had given Melanie over the years. It was an entire carriage filled with both ordinary and precious items. These gifts bore witness to their long–standing relationship as sisters.
According to what Frederick and Lily remembered, the gifts Melanie had given Heather included gold, silver, common items, and many valuable medicinal herbs. Most of the herbs had been provided by Sebastian to the Duke of Northwatch’s family back then. They were likely meant for treating injuries, especially since Carissa’s father and brothers had been on the battlefield, so it was wise to have extra supplies.
Apart from the medicinal herbs, there were also supplements and emergency remedies, including several bottles of Snowdrop Pills and Energy Pills, which were meant to strengthen the heart and restore energy.
Lily mentioned that Heather had personally asked Melanie for the pills and had taken multiple bottles. The pills could be stored for a long time, but Heather hadn’t offered any to be used when Leona was in a
dire situation.
That left Carissa deeply puzzled. After all, Leona was Heather’s daughter. It seemed implausible for a mother to completely disregard her daughter’s well–being. When Heather was informed of Leona’s plight, she surely would have gathered the best medicine available from the estate, right?
Even if she had forgotten due to her panicked state, surely someone by her side would have reminded her. Yet, Heather had arrived empty–handed. The most likely explanation was that she had used up all the medicine or had given it away. But the latter option didn’t make sense either. Over the years, Harvey and his family hadn’t been in close contact with anyone.
Carissa made quite a spectacle of her arrival. She had specifically requested Travis to be the driver. It

was overkill, but his loud voice was perfect for the occasion.
“The Hell Monarch’s princess consort and Lady Heather are severing ties as aunt and niece, and are now returning the gifts exchanged between the two families!”
Travis had been announcing the same sentence all the way until they reached Hartstone Estate, where they encountered Heather, who was just about to step out.
Heather’s face turned ashen with rage.
Carissa dismounted and stood directly before her aunt. “Lady Heather, I’ve come to follow through with what we discussed yesterday. Have you prepared the items?”
“Carissa, are you crazy? Do you really intend to cut ties between us?” Heather asked, her voice dripping with suppressed rage.
Carissa’s expression remained flat. “Once something is s t can’t be taken back. Travis, please assist in unloading the items. If anything is amiss, I’m sure Lady Heather will point it out, and we’ll make up for it. After all, they gave each other many gifts over the years due to their sisterly bond, so it might not all
match up.”
There was a crowd gathering at the estate’s entrance, so Heather grabbed Carissa’s arm and dragged her inside.
“Since you mentioned the sisterly bond I had with your mom, how can it be something you can just cut off? What right do you have to decide for your mom? And if you sever our ties, how will you explain it to your ancestors when you see them beyond the grave?” Heather hissed.
“How I’ll do that is my own business. There’s no need for you to worry, Lady Heather,” Carissa replied calmly before calling over her shoulder, “Bring it in.”
