Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Frederick took a few decorated boxes, and rode out.

As expected, the royal guards didn't question him since their orders were to keep Carissa from leaving the house. The restriction didn't apply to anyone else in Northwatch Estate, and such a large household naturally had daily errands and purchases.

Arriving at Hartstone Estate, Frederick announced that he was delivering a bridal gift from the Duke of Northwatch's family.

The gatekeeper reported this, and soon, the steward of Hartstone Estate, Simon Zephyr, cout.

After greeting Frederick, Simon said, "Hello, Mr. Carter. The princess said that since Lady Sinclair has just returned hafter her divorce, she must have been in need of money. There's no need for her to spend on a gift for the princess. We appreciate the thought, but the gift isn't necessary. Please take it back, and there's no need to cagain if there's nothing urgent." Frederick was momentarily taken aback. When he saw the indifferent look on Simon's face, he understood.

Heather looked down on Carissa because of her divorce and saw her gift as bringing bad luck. Hence, she rejected it.

Though angered, Frederick maintained his composure. It was a mark of his upbringing in a noble household. "In that case, please convey our lady's best wishes to the princess. Goodbye." "We won't see you out," Simon replied coldly.

Frederick was furious. He knew all the rumors that had been spreading during the past month while Carissa remained confined in the estate.

Still, it shouldn't matter if people were saying these things. After all, Heather and Carissa's mother, Melanie, were biological sisters.

When Melanie was still alive, her bond with Heather was strong and they were very close. When Heather had problems giving birth to Leona, Melanie called for Sebastian to save Heather and the child.

Carissa had suffered so much with the Warren family, but her aunt hadn't helped. Now, they insulted her by refusing her gift.

What had Carissa done to deserve this? Despite his anger, Frederick didn't forget his duties: He took the horse to the countryside villa outside the city, leaving the gifts there temporarily. He would retrieve them after Carissa had left to spare her feelings.

He bought another horse and stravel provisions, then stopped by Sebastian's office to purchase medicines for colds, epidemics, and injuries.

Frederick didn't say anything, but Sebastian saw the medicine he was buying and gave him several bottles. "Take these to your lady. She knows how to use them." 1/2 +15 BONUS Frederick tried to pay, but Sebastian glared at him. “Just take them." ederick bowed deeply. At this point, Sebastian was the only person out of the Sinclair family who was willing to help Carissa. Frederick made a mental note to remember this kindness.

When Frederick returned to Northwatch Estate, he saw a carriage woman who looked exhausted and distressed.
