Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Viola returned to her old room, the one she occupied before her marriage. Unbeknownst to her, Zoey had gone to the Farrell family. Viola assumed Evelyn was still discussing ways to support her with Zoey and Luna.

No matter how angry Evelyn might be, Viola knew her mother couldn't bear to see her struggling in the Warren family. That place was suffocating. After all, Julia and Yvonne had both met their end there.

Moreover, Evelyn had always been particularly fond of Thomas. If Viola could mend things with him, Evelyn would eventually be pleased after her initial anger faded.

After a while, she asked someone about Evelyn's condition and learned that it wasn't too serious. Deciding to return to Valor Estate first to avoid a scolding from her sister-in-law, she felt a wave of annoyance wash over her. She couldn't stand Zoey's lecturing face. What kind of authority did Zoey hold? It was only because of Viola's brother Oliver's title that Zoey could act like the mistress of an earl's household.

Besides, if Viola was going to stay at Silverstone Estate, she needed a plausible excuse. Claiming she was unwell would do the trick-she could say the family physician understood her constitution, and knew how to treat her. Staying at hfor a month to recuperate wouldn't raise any suspicions from the Warren family.

To be safe, she took Poppy to Arcane Sanctum, the largest medical establishment in the capital, to have the physician check the maid's health and prescribe stonics. When she returned, she could simply say she was feeling unwell and needed to take the medicine. Of course, Poppy would consthe medicines on her behalf. The credibility of the medicines from Arcane Sanctum was unquestionable, as there were more than twenty physicians practicing there.

She took Poppy inside to have her checked and get smedicine. Although Poppy was perfectly healthy, the autumn heat in August was intense, and the lingering summer heat had built up in her body. After examining Poppy, the physician prescribed a few herbal teas to clear out the heat and cool her down.

As Viola waited for the attendant to prepare the medicines, she noticed Carissa and Violet entering Arcane Sanctum. A wave of irritation washed over her. The capital was truly small, and she encountered people she wished to avoid in the most inconvenient places. As Viola turned her head away, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. Suddenly, her blood rushed to her head, and a buzzing filled her ears. The memories she desperately tried to bury began to resurface, sending tremors through her entire body. It was Silas Lewis. It was really him! But why was Carissa with Silas at Arcane Sanctum? A wave of anxiety washed over Viola, but she quickly reassured herself that it was impossible. There was no way Silas could disclose what had happened in the past. Doing so would only harm himself. Violet spotted Viola, too. She leaned in and whispered to Carissa, "Viola's also here." Carissa followed her gaze and saw Viola anxiously turning her head away, clearly unwilling to acknowledge them. She then turned to Silas and said, "Mr. Lewis, go ahead." Silas didn't respond right away. His gaze remained fixed on Viola, and his expression darkened noticeably. Carissa's heart raced with suspicion. She called out again, "Mr. Lewis?" Finally snapping back to reality, Silas replied, "Right... Let's go to the sanctum." He didn't glance at Viola again, but his footsteps quickened, betraying his unease. Carissa fell a step behind, turning sharply to steal a glance at Viola, who was staring at them with an ashen face. Carissa exchanged a knowing look with Violet. Something was definitely off.

Silas was Ivan's older relative, Thomas' cousin, and Alice's nephew. He and Viola should know each other. Now that Viola had remarried, the Farrell family's attitude towards her hadn't changed much.

So why did Silas look so grim? Viola seemed just as unsettled.

Did these two have a history? As Silas led them toward the sanctum, they entered a special room designated for Sebastian. It housed the medicines he had developed, as well as srare herbs like the precious thousand-year Evergreen Root. After a portion of it was used to save Lawrence, the balance of the root was now kept safely in the sanctum.

Sebastian was out on rounds, but since Silas managed the procurement for Arcane Sanctum, he had access to the sanctum. Sebastian placed great importance on him. Silas began slicing the Evergreen Root.

Carissa said, "Slice a few more pieces, then see if there are any om tonics for strengthening the body for women after childbirth. And don't forget to prepare slabor-inducing medicine as well." Silas replied, "vy can bring the labor-inducing medicine when it's time. Let's prepare these Evergreen

Root slices first. Smedicines can enhance physical strength which will be useful during delivery."
