Jacob sent Dn to deliver the letter in person.


    Dn was puzzled, and secretly asked Jacob, "Mr. York, His


    Highness could ask for Lady Sinir''s hand without surrendering his militarymand, couldn''t he?"


    Jacob gave him a light tap on the head. "Are you an idiot? If His Highness doesn''t surrender his medal ofmand, the king will immediately have Lady Helen intervene to stop the marriage."


    Dn thought the choice of words was apt, but he still didn''t fully grasp the situation.


    "But won''t Lady Helen try to stop it now?" Dn argued. Everyone knew how Helen was.


    "Even if she does it now, no one would have instructed her to do so..


    It would be her own decision, and the situation would be different because of it," Jacob exined tersely. "Just go and deliver the


    letter. Don''t say anything else."


    Watching Dn lead his horse away, Jacob sighed slightly. Although Rafael was dutiful to his mother, without Salvador''s support, he would still face opposition from Helen in marrying Carissa.


    At Northwatch Estate, Carissa was somewhat surprised to receive a letter from Rafael.


    If Rafael had military matters to discuss with her, he would have sent someone to summon her directly.


    Why the personal visit and a notification in advance?


    Clearly, it wasn''t about military affairs.


    Carissa suspected it was because Rafael had asked her whether she wanted to take up a formal post. She instructed Frederick to prepare for Rafael''s visit the following day, but her thoughts drifted to Sebastian and her aunt Avis''s health.


    Yuvan''s estate was located a hundred miles from the capital in Valken. Avis had acted as the intermediary for Carissa''s marriage to


    Barrett.


    When Carissa divorced, Avis didn''t send any letters. She was likely unaware of the situation.


    Sebastian''s female apprentice, Jasmine, had been in Valken taking care of Avis. Sebastian would likely be informed about Avis''s condition.


    Sebastian had probably informed Jasmine about what happened with Carissa, but Jasmine didn''t inform Avis about it. Carissa was worried that her aunt''s illness had worsened.


    She sent Lulu to the physician''s office. At this critical juncture, with her constantly surrounded and pursued whenever she went out, the title of being a hero had indeed be a significant burden. Added. to that, themotion caused by the Warrens had only given idle. talkers more to gossip about.


    Lulu returned after more than two hours, carrying arge bundle of items. She chattered nonstop as she unpacked.


    "Sebastian said the medicine he gave you before must be used up. On the battlefield, it''s impossible not to get injured. When injured, you must take proper care. He prepared a bunch of pills and herbs, all personally mixed by him. He said you must take them for a month to replenish your energy and blood, to avoid any lingering ailments that might cause pain in yourter years."


    Carissa nced over the items: Snowdrop Pills, Heart-Guarding


    Pills, Heartshield Pills, Bloodbliss Pill, Purity Pill, Radiance Pill, and so on. There was also a jar of skin whitening and nourishing honey ointment, and several packages of medicinal herbs for brewing. "That must have cost a fortune," Carissa said with a smile, shaking her head. "He''s so eager to give me the best medicine. Lulu, please send some of the Heartshield Pills and Snowdrop Pills over to Granduncle Theodore."


    "When I arrived, Mr. Carter had already taken some to Lord Sinir," Lulu said with a smile.


    Carissa nodded slightly. Frederick was thorough in his duties, and she didn''t need to worry about these details.


    "What''s in thisrge bundle?" Carissa asked, noticing a sack of herbs at the doorway. "Is this for brewing as well?"


    "No, this is for soaking in water," Lulu exined. "It''s said to dispel cold and protect the muscles and bones. Sebastian mentioned that the cold weather on the battlefield could have left you with a coldness that seeped into your bones, so you need to soak in a medicinal bath to dispel it."


    Sebastian truly treated Carissa like his own daughter. He really pampered her a lot.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    With remedies for dispelling cold and for beautification, it seemed he wanted to restore her to her original, radiant beauty immediately.


    "Alright then, I''ll take a medicinal bath tonight."


    Carissa naturally wouldn''t disappoint her elder''s kind intentions!
