Embarrassed or not, the two of them did end up bathing together in the end. After soaking in the bath, they continued their passionate night under the white canopy of their bed.

Fortunately, both were trained in martial arts. So, even with only getting an hour or two of sleep, they were still able to go about their day without feeling tired.

As they got up the next morning, two unfamiliar attendants entered to serve Rafael. Luke had arranged this. These two elderly women, Sydney and Qiana, had originally worked in the embroidery room. But now that Rafael had no one to serve him, it wouldn’t be appropriate to have a young servant help him with dressing and personal needs.

As for the maids serving Carissa, Joy and Winter had gone to attend to Ryan. Meanwhile, Lulu, Snow, and Pearl remained by Carissa’s side to serve her personally.

Lily was in charge of managing the entire Orchid Hall, so naturally, it wouldn’t be appropriate to ask her to take on these duties. And if younger servants were sent to attend to Rafael, there was a risk they may harbor inappropriate thoughts.

So, it was better to have Sydney and Qiana serve Rafael. Both women were in their forties and had a reputation for their steady and reliable work. They were unlikely to cause any trouble. These two women had been sent by Victoria when Rafael first established his estate. They had previously served the queen dowager herself, so their trustworthiness was assured.

Rafael didn’t need to go to the Supreme Court today. With the year coming to a close, the court had already sealed its documents, and no new matters would be addressed until the eighth day of the new

year.

Carissa mentioned that she needed to return to Northwatch Estate today. After the couple dressed and had breakfast, they sent someone to fetch Ryan so he could accompany them back.

However, just as they were about to leave, they saw Violet arrive with Travis.

As soon as she entered, Violet said, “They left the city yesterday evening. They said they were in a hurry to leave and couldn’t inform you.”

Hearing this, Carissa’s eyes reddened. “It’s always like this. I can’t trust my master. We had clearly agreed that they would tell me before leaving.”

“Your master was afraid you’d start crying. Let it go, okay? We’ll return to Meadow Ridge together when

the weather warms up.”

“Are you planning to stay here until then?” Carissa looked at her friend. “Does your master allow you to stay in the capital for so long?”

“It’s not that I want to stay. Winona said she might need someone to run errands for something, so I stayed behind. She even left a few people with me to gather information,” Violet whispered in Carissa’s

ear.

Carissa felt a mix of sadness and gratitude. Winona’s people were not easily lent out. That was why few in the martial world knew that Carissa’s guild senior ran Skywing Spire.

“You don’t even like the capital, Isn’t it a burden for you to stay here?” Carissa hugged Violet, feeling like

she might cry.

“I’m not just here for you. My master asked me to stay in the capital for a while. If I happen to see a noble young man that I fancy, he’ll secretly kidnap him. Then, I’ll come to the rescue, we’ll have some close encounters, and voilà–a perfect match.”

Violet spoke as if it were the simplest thing, as if kidnapping someone was no big deal. Hearing her friend’s words, Carissa’s urge to cry vanished instantly.

“Fine, if you find someone you like, I’ll help you arrange a proposal. No need to resort to kidnapping,” she promised.

Marriage for the daughters of the Spencer family was a tricky matter. While it wasn’t impossible, it often required a willingness to marry below their social status. However, in a prominent family like theirs, not every woman was prepared to make such a compromise.

For someone like Violet, marrying a martial artist was absolutely out of the question. She could practice martial arts, but marrying a man of the martial world was forbidden. With an aunt already having eloped with a scholar, Violet marrying a martial artist would make it even harder for the other daughters of the Spencer family to find suitable matches.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Meanwhile, Rafael had taken Travis to the study, where Jacob and Luke were already present.

When he heard that Rafael wanted him to take the lead in forming a household army, Travis‘ eyes widened in surprise.
