Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1315

The people Rafael suspected were Hayden and his son Nicholas, with a particular focus on the latter. After all, Hayden led a very reclusive life and hardly interacted with anyone.

If there was anyone Hayden interacted with frequently, it was Carissa and Rafael.

Normally, Hayden and Chaya would eat, drink, and have fun at home. Even when they went out, it was all about eating, drinking, and enjoying themselves. Their life motto was simply to eat, drink, play, and

have fun.

The last time Carissa visited, Chaya had put on quite a bit of weight. Even Hayden seemed to have gained about seven to eight pounds. Chaya’s chin was now a bit more prominent when she smiled.

After several days of fruitless investigation, Carissa decided to pay them a visit in person, taking Violet along with her.

Hayden was delighted to see them and immediately turned to Chaya. “Yesterday, I caught a large carp myself. Use it to prepare sashimi, but remember to drain all the blood. I don’t like any red left in it.”

Chaya beamed with enthusiasm and hurried to the kitchen with her servants, saying she was eager to show off her cooking skills.

Violet couldn’t help but comment on Chaya’s rounder figure. “You’ve all been eating very well lately, haven’t you? She looks even more rounded.”

Hayden chuckled, his eyes crinkling as he smiled. “Did the Hell Monarch’s household treat you poorly, Ms. Spencer? No worries–come stay at Willowbrook Estate instead. Whatever you want to eat, you’ll have it.”

Violet smiled, settling into a chair. “If you keep offering such hospitality, I might just move in permanently, Your Highness.”

“Hurry up and move in, then! I’ll treat you to good food and drinks,” Hayden said, waving his hand cheerfully.

Violet grinned playfully. “Well, once I get tired of staying at Hell Monarch Estate, I’ll move right over. A few extra pounds wouldn’t hurt.”

Carissa laughed. “Why wait to get tired of it? I’ll have someone send your things over tomorrow.”

Violet put her hands on her hips, feigning indignation. “Oh, so you’ve been planning to get rid of me all along?”

“You wanted to come yourself, so how can you blame me?”

Hayden sipped his coffee, his eyes full of affection as he watched them. His smile was warm and loving.

The fish sashimi at lunch was delicious. Though neither Carissa nor Violet were particularly fond of raw fish, they couldn’t resist eating a few more pieces.

Chaya clearly enjoyed it, finishing nearly half the plate herself. The few remaining pieces in front of Hayden also disappeared into her mouth.

After the meal, they took a stroll around the estate before finally bidding their farewells.

As they were about to leave, Hayden called out to Violet, “If you ever want to stay, feel free to come.”

Violet was momentarily stunned, then smiled and replied, “Alright, I will.”

This visit was no different from the others. Even the joy on Hayden’s face was the same as always. If there was any difference, it was that this time, he had invited Violet to stay at Willowbrook Estate. He had even reminded her of the offer as they were leaving.

Was he joking, or did he genuinely want Violet to come live at his estate?

If it had been anyone else, Carissa wouldn’t have noveldrama

However, it was Violet.

thought twice.

The Spencer family had been repeatedly mentioned amid this upheaval, always with some degree of ambiguity. Yet Yuvan had persistently pursued the Spencer family, which showed that the Spencer family’s refusal wasn’t entirely firm.

The Spencer family was large, and other members of the family might have allied with Yuvan.

Just like Celeste’s adoptive father, a distant relative of the Spencer family. It was very likely he had already pledged his allegiance to Yuvan.

Did the head of the Spencer family, Eustace, not know about this? With his far–reaching influence, how could he not be aware? And if he knew, why hadn’t he taken action to stop it?

At the moment, it was still unclear whether Hayden and Nicholas were the ones waiting to strike, and it was even harder to say about the Spencer family.

Violet also pondered the matter. She propped her chin up against the side of the carriage and asked Carissa, “Do you think Prince Hayden really wants me to live with him?”

“I can tell he’s somewhat sincere,” Carissa replied.

“That leaves two possibilities. First, he wants to use me to control the Spencer family. Second, he’s being controlled by someone and hopes I can go to Willowbrook Estate to help him.”

Carissa had come to the same conclusion. If Hayden truly wanted Violet to stay, it could only be for one of those two reasons.

Go, and there was a chance of being caught in a trap. Stay away, and there was a risk of missing Hayden’s plea for help.
