Her Graceful War Song

After they returned to the coffeehouse, Violet and Carissa had a meal. After settling the bill, they exited through the main entrance and made their way back to the carriage.

On the way, Violet suddenly jumped down at a corner. She hid for a moment, then walked onto the main street and quickly blended in with the crowd.

These days, her attire was simple and unadorned. She wore only a silver hairpin in her updo. Of course, it wasn't easy for just anyone to track her, but it was always wise to be cautious.

Being a martial artist, she didn't find the walk to the Farrell family's residence tiring. After all, it wasn't that far.

When she arrived at the gates of the residence, she noticed a carriage parked on the right. Just then, Thomas was helping Alice down, followed by Opal and a maid.

Violet called out with a smile, "Well, I see that I've come at the perfect time! Are you all heading out?"

Opal smiled and replied, "Violet! It's been quite a while since we last saw you."

Violet smiled back and said, "I've been busy for days, and I finally found the time to visit today. But it seems you're all on your way out?"

Alice pulled her closer, and wrapped her arm around Violet's. "You arrived just in time! Come with us to Grovehill Estate and give your godbrother a hand."

"Give him a hand?" Violet thought for a moment and said, "Is the Kingsley family introducing a young lady to Thomas?"

Alice beamed. "Exactly! Yesterday, Gemma, that is, Madam Kingsley, visited and mentioned that the daughter of her cousin came to her for help. She's from the Sanford family in Stonebridge County. She has both good character and grace, but she's a bit older. Apparently, she was once engaged, but her fiance passed away. In a small place like Stonebridge County, they have little understanding of the world. Since her fiance died before they were married, they think she's a jinx. So, she's been putting off marriage until now. She came to see Gemma, and hoped to find a good match in the capital."

Violet clutched her hand. "A jinx? How could that be possible? She never even married, so how could she be a jinx? It doesn't make sense."

After helping Alice into the carriage, Violet turned to look at Thomas, who appeared somewhat helpless. After waiting for the driver to bring the horse forward, Thomas mounted his horse.

While in the carriage, Violet listened as Opal mentioned that several matchmakers had visited recently, but none had met Thomas's approval. This matter was dragging on without any resolution, and Gemma's mention of this suitable woman was fortuitous.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The woman was about 25 years old,

had a good character, and came from a respectable family. She was a promising match. Also, since she was willing to travel all the way to the capital for a marriage proposal, it was likely she would be willing to accompany Thomas if he were assigned a post elsewhere.

So, they decided to overlook Thomas' objections and meet her.

The Marquis of Grovehill's family had kept a low profile over the years, especially after Henry became a prince consort. Being a marquis family connected to the royal family, they had maintained a somewhat discreet reputation. Additionally, Eleanor had gained a lot of support before the miniature chastity belt sculpture incident. As time passed, the public began to forget the scandal, and it certainly didn't affect Henry's family's reputation.

So, Alice was genuinely excited about Gemma's personal endorsement of the match.

"Your godbrother is so difficult! He would say the woman wasn't good enough, and another looked like she couldn't handle the hardships of life. After all this time, he hasn't found a single one he likes. I'm getting anxious," she said, pulling Violet's hand anxiously.

"You know about that matter-that woman came over and confronted him directly! She's already married, yet she still acts so carelessly. Who knows if she'll come back again? This could ruin both our families' reputations!" Alice's concern was partly due to the fear of Viola showing up again. The only way to truly put an end to that was to secure a match for Thomas quickly.

Violet smiled reassuringly. "Well, let's go take a look. Even the best conditions won't matter if the two of them don't hit it off, right?"

"It would be fine if he wasn't so picky. Go with him to check her out. If she seems suitable, maybe you could persuade him a little," Alice urged earnestly. Violet was indeed curious to meet Darin, and she agreed, "Alright. If her character and everything else are in order, I'll definitely try to persuade Thomas."
