Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 445

Chapter 445

Carissa had indeed extended an invitation to the Farrell family. They were a distinguished family of military

tradition, and Timothy was still serving in the Hell Monarch Army.

Due to an old illness, the family’s elder general had been bedridden for the past two or three years. Currently,

the matriarch of the Farrell family was Timothy's wife, Opal. The other branches of the family, having lost the

people of the younger generations, tended to keep a low profile and rarely made public appearances.

A family of military officers bore a unique pain that others might not understand.

With her husband still serving in the military and her children unmarried, Opal had to make public appearances

to plan for the marriages and

futures of her children.

Her eldest son was also a soldier but had been injured in battle, which prevented him from settling down.

Meanwhile, having passed the national examination, her second son was pursuing a scholarly career

and needed to continue his studies.

There was also a daughter, Nina Farrell, who was thirteen this year. Though there was no immediate rush, some

families made marriage. arrangements for girls as young as twelve or thirteen, and she had yet to find a suitor.

This time, when the Farrell family received the invitation to Helen's birthday banquet, Opal decided to take her

aunt-in-law, Alice, out for a change of scenery. She had heard that no one from the Warren family had been

invited, so she felt it was safe to bring Alice, who was the mother of Thomas Farrell, along.

Alice had been melancholic for years, grieving over the loss of Thomas. However, she needed to think about her

other children and could not

remain in her sorrow forever. After spersuasion, she agreed to attend the banquet.

Opal prepared a gift for her aunt-in-law. When the tcame, they would set off together for Hell Monarch

Estate to celebrate Helen's birthday. She would also bring her siblings to broaden their horizons.

March passed quickly, with the verdant growth of spring giving way to the blossoming April.

Soon, Helen's birthday arrived. In the lead-up to the event, the people of Hell Monarch Estate had been busy for

half a month.

The garden was adorned with flowers. In addition to those Helen had chosen, Carissa had added many more. The

bougainvillea on the walls had also bloomed, resembling clusters of purple-red clouds, creating a beautiful

scene.

Three theater troupes had been hired well in advance, and they would take turns to perform from morning until

night.

The pastries that would be served to the guests were made by the household's dedicated pastry chefs, and they

were not at all inferior to those from the famous bakery, Fortune Bakehouse.

The banquet featured a total of eighteen dishes, including a variety of mountain delicacies and seafood, but also

sunique homemade favorites. There were even vegetarian options prepared for guests who didn’t eat meat.

For example, the matriarch of the Marquis of Jadehill’s family and smembers of the Farrell family all

preferred to avoid meat. Several of the older Sinclair family members also followed a vegetarian diet, hoping

that their prayers for their family’s men would ensure their invincibility on the battlefield.

In reality, the hope was more about wishing for their safe return from. battle. Unfortunately, the Sinclair family’s

pillar, the Duke of

Northwatch’s family, now consisted only of Carissa and Ryan.

Despite this, the Sinclair family members continued to eat vegetarian food. One reason was out of habit, as they

could no longer tolerate even the slightest bit of meat. The other reason was a hope for the souls of the departed

to attain rebirth more quickly.

Carissa was dressed in a soft pink-colored dress with a peach-colored outer cloak. The cloak was made from

cloud satin and was light and airy, giving her an ethereal, almost celestial appearance.

Her makeup was subtle, and her hair was styled in a sophisticated bun. A Mystic Pearl headpiece sat on her

head, which added a touch of elegance and grace without overshadowing her natural beauty.

Rafael, on the other hand, wore a dark brocade robe cinched with a leather belt, from which hung an emerald

pendant on his left side. His attire was both striking and dignified, blending handsomeness with a sense of

authority.

Helen had dressed elaborately for the occasion. Her hair was adorned with a lavish array of jewels and pearls,

and her luxurious brocade outfit was embroidered with large peonies in gold and silver thread. Over her attire,

she wore a silk shawl, which was made of a lighter and more refined material than cloud satin, offering a subtle

but undeniable air of luxury and refinement.

Helen had entered the palace at the age of sixteen, gave birth to Rafael at seventeen, and this year, turned

forty-two. She always insisted she still looked young, and dressed like this, she really did. Her complexion was

fair and smooth, with only faint lines at the corners of her eyes and a few white hairs, which had been removed.

Around her neck, she wore a dazzling and eye-catching red coral necklace, of which each bead was round and

fiery red. Her hair was adorned with rubies, as were her earrings, and she wore two hairpins. that dangled with

jeweled tassels. The pin on the left had a large Mystic

Pearl that looked just like the ones from Carissa’s dowry set in it.

It wasn’t just a coincidence-every piece of jewelry Helen wore today had been custom-made by Carissa, gifted

to her as a birthday present.

Soon, the guests began to arrive one after another.
