Her Graceful War Song

Lily invited the staff from Elegance Atelier outside for a meal. The banquet had already been set up, and people needed to eat in advance as the bride would need to set out in the evening.

After the meal, the staff from Elegance Atelier wouldn't leave immediately. One of them would accompany the procession to Hell Monarch Estate.

After partaking in the nuptial wine, the bride and groom would need to offer wine to their elders as a show of respect. Given the numerous guests at Hell Monarch Estate and the constant movement for the traditional ceremonies, it was crucial to have someone on hand to ensure the bride's makeup remained intact.

When it was three in the afternoon, it was time for the dowry to be sent out.

The sound of drums filled the air as the Sinclair family's younger members personally carried out the dowry. With sixty-four loads of valuables and treasures, including one precious painting by Kyle, it was a sight to behold.

Silverstone Estate and Northwatch Estate were only two streets apart, and the Earl of Silverstone's family were also dispatching their dowry at the same hour.

Viola was already dressed in her wedding attire, and she awaited the moment when Barrett and his entourage would come to collect her after the dowry had departed. She had sent someone to check whether Carissa's dowry had also been dispatched and to confirm if it matched the sixty-four loads.

Her maid, Yvonne, counted and confirmed that indeed there were sixty-four loads. Viola couldn't help but smile.

"Hmph, even the esteemed duke's daughter has a dowry less impressive than mine."

She hadn't anticipated the value of Carissa's dowry, thinking it would merely consist of the usual items.

Just as Viola was feeling a sense of pride, the loud sound of drums sounded through the air as someone announced, "The Spencer family from Ebonflow has added to General Sinclair's trousseau-fifty bolts of brocade, three sets of gold and emerald headpieces, a pair of crystal figurines, and eighteen pairs of stag and dove motive bangles."

Viola was startled.

Who was making such a commotion? Could this be a joke?

Before she could send someone to investigate, another loud announcement echoed, "The Emerald Guild has added to General Sinclair's trousseau-two obsidian blades, one spear, a gold and emerald knife, and a box of gold and silver jewelry."

The voice was clearly amplified by inner force, as it was even louder and more resonant than the drums.

The noble families in the area rushed out to see.

Indeed, there were people carrying large chests following behind the procession.

The first batch, held carefully with both hands, contained items that were clearly extremely valuable.

The second batch consisted mostly of weapons, which were also held with both hands and tied with white and gold silk ribbons. This batch seemed to belong to individuals from the martial world.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

"From the Crystal Bloom Guild to Lady Sinclair to add to her trousseau, a moonstone figurine of the Lord, two rosewood partition screens, ten bolts of luxurious brocade..."

When Carissa heard these announcements, she shivered in disbelief.

She suddenly ordered, "Quick, go see if Violet, Bun, Rod, and Cynthia are here... Lulu? Where's Lulu?"

Lulu had already dashed out, running after the dowry procession as she sobbed.

Didn't they say they wouldn't come? Why did they only show up when the dowry procession was leaving? It caused Carissa unnecessary distress!

Just as Lulu was about to catch up, the sound of drums rang out again.

"From the Lunar Guild to Lady Sinclair to add to her trousseau-a top-class martial arts expert as a bodyguard, eighteen jars of rose wine, and ten bolts of silk..."

Carissa almost cried upon hearing this. The Lunar Guild was the guild Travis was in. It was known for its poverty and all-female members, and was notorious for struggling even with rent.

They had sent a martial arts expert, who was most likely Travis. Regardless, she adored rose wine. They had also provided ten bolts of silk-enough to make the Lunar Guild go without proper food for two months!

"From the Inferno Guild to add to Lady Sinclair's trousseau, one jar of Mystic Pearls, three natural emerald ornaments, one harp, ten classical string scores, eighteen rubies, eighteen sapphires, and ten sets of woven bedding..."

Carissa's eyes reddened. The Inferno Guild was Violet's faction. Was it not enough that the Spencer family added to the dowry? Now, the Inferno Guild had to add as well?

The onlookers were stunned by the extravagant dowries, especially from the Inferno Guild. The gifts were not ordinary items, but treasures that were priceless and hard to find!
