Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 222

Chapter 222

Victoria was well aware of Helen's intentions. She decided to give Helen a gentle warning.

“Soon, you'll be moving to Hell Monarch Estate to live with Rafael. If you don’t understand the ways of managing

a household, don’t try to overstep and take control. Once Carissa enters the family, she will naturally take charge

of the household's affairs...”

“Victoria, that’s not quite right,” Helen interrupted Victoria with an unusual seriousness. “How can a new bride

be in charge of the household? | have reservations about her. Since we're here together, | won't hesitate to

speak plainly-I don’t like her, and | don’t want her to be my daughter-in-law, let alone manage the household.”

“Oh? You want to take over the household?” Victoria raised an eyebrow. “Alright then, starting tomorrow, I'll ask

Kylie to transfer her duties overseeing the inner palace to you. Let her have a rest and see how you manage for

a few days.”

“It's not like I've never done it before,” Helen replied. “Kylie has been in charge of the inner palace, and I've

assisted her significantly. Besides, didn’t | help you a lot when you were in charge of the palace back then?”

“Yes, you helped a lot, but sometimes you were more of a hindrance,” Victoria said bluntly.

“Our parents spoiled you too much. After you entered the palace, | kept an eye on you and protected you,

allowing you to have a stable life and bear a son and a daughter. How many times have you gotten into trouble

and | had to clean up after you?

“But once you're in Hell Monarch Estate, if you want to enjoy a peaceful life, don’t try to make things difficult for

your daughter-in-law. Whether you like Carissa or not, or oppose her entering the family, it's a done deal that

she’s marrying Rafael. You don’t have the right to oppose it. If you cause trouble in the household, | won't spare

you.”

Because of Carissa, even Helen's own sister wasn’t fond of her anymore. This made Helen even more unhappy

with Carissa.

Despite this, Helen had cto a harsh reality-no matter how unhappy she was with Carissa, the marriage was

set in stone. She couldn't stop it.

Thinking back, Helen had made such a big deal about it at Eleanor’s birthday banquet. If they backed out of the

marriage bow, Carissa’s reputation would be ruined. After considering it, Helen decided to just let it be and see

how things play

out

The news of the Hell Monarch marrying the Duke of Northwatch’s daughter soon spread throughout the capital,

and the citizens were abuzz with discussion.

There were many opinions among the people. Ssaid Carissa was unworthy of such a match, while others

believed they were a perfect match.

However, another voice soon emerged, claiming that Carissa had married Barrett less than two years after the

deaths of Hector and his six sons. That meant she hadn't observed the three years of mourning, and was thus

deemed greatly negligent and disrespectful toward her family.

Now, it had been just over a year since her mother passed away, and Carissa was already preparing to remarry.

This further showed she had no sense of respect for her family. How could someone so disrespectful have been a

dutiful daughter-in-law to Rebecca?

This claim quickly ignited into a wildfire of controversy across the capital. People began to realize that it really

hadn’t been three full years between Hector’s death and Carissa’s marriage to Barrett. That meant the mourning

period Carissa had observed was indeed less than three years,

As for the mourning period for her mother, whether Carissa needed to observe it or not was still under debate as

she had already divorced once. However, it was clear that she was married to Barrett during the period when she

should have been mourning.

In Starhaven, failing to observe duties to one’s family was considered a grave offense, which could incite public

outrage. Within days, the situation escalated, with seven shouting and cursing outside Northwatch Estate,

When the maids went out to buy silk threads today, they returned trembling with anger. Recognized as servants

of the Duke of Nortwatch’s family, they were surrounded and berated by the people. People pointed fingers at

their faces and showered them with spit.

After washing their faces, they went to report to Carissa.

Lulu was nearly in tears as she said, “They talk about observing three years of
