Her Majestic Battle Cry 729
Chapter 729
Carmen felt a chill run through her as she listened to her mom.
“That can’t be true! If she really wants to rely on a powerful family, wasn’t Samuel a good match? He loved her
dearly.”
Melanie smiled bitterly. “Samuel was the Earl of Gracehold’s heir and a top scholar. However, he married the
Duchess of Everpeace, Prince Harvey's daughter, Since that was the case, Celeste had no hope of rising higher.
Samuel may have said he loved her, but he never truly did anything for her. He doted on her, but he wouldn't
dare elevate her to the status of a rightful wife.”
Carmen blinked in confusion. “A rightful wife?”
As the carriage rolled forward, Melanie's gaze darkened. “Yes. She believes that unless she becomes a rightful
wife, she’ll have no chance of becoming the main wife after the current wife dies. If she can’t beca rightful

could accept being a concubine, but she doesn’t want to spend her life in that role.”
“It’s understandable she wouldn't want to be a concubine. Who would choose such a fate unless they had no
other options? And she’s been used all this tfor your sake. It’s tragic for her,” said Carmen, her heart
twisting in turmoil.
Melanie leaned against Carmen, her breath coming in short gasps before a violent cough wracked her body,
causing her to spit out blood.
Carmen anxiously patted her back. “Why are you coughing so violently, Mom? Didn't you say a physician
checked your health?”
“Yes,” Melanie replied, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth with her tattered sleeve, forcing a weak
smile, “Don’t worry. I'll get better. Remember my words-no matter what your sister asks you to do in the future,
you must never agree to it. Remember-no matter what it is, don’t agree.”
Carmen frowned in confusion. ‘Grand Princess Eleanor has fallen. What could Celeste possibly askto do? We
can leave the capital and live somewhere no one knows us.”
Melanie grasped her daughter's wrist tightly, her breath coming in quick gasps. “Remember my words. You
mustn’t have too much contact with her, and you shouldn't see her again. Do you understand?”
As she finished speaking, another fit of coughing seized her, making her double over. It took a moment before
she could straighten up again.
Once she did, she held onto Carmen’s hand and whispered hoarsely, “Do you understand?”
“I understand, Mom,” Carmen replied, tears brimming in her eyes as she watched her mother struggle to
breathe. “Didn't you say a physician checked on you? Why is your illness still this severe?”
Melanie leaned weakly against her daughter, her silence filled with unspoken sorrow. Tears streamed down her
cheeks, a reflection of her profound grief.
The entire court was stunned by the scandal. No one had anticipated that Eleanor harbored such wicked
ambitions. Alongside their shock, many officials were genuinely afraid, as their families frequently

Interacted with her.
During the morning court session, Salvador erupted in a furious rage. He issued orders for a thorough
investigation. Still simmering with anger, he seized the moment to promote Carissa to the role of the Mystic
Army’s commander, giving her control over the army and all its divisions.
Sofficials opposed this decision, but no one dared to provoke Salvador’s wrath. Evert the Oversight
Department minister was silent, so the officials who opposed the decision had nothing more to say.
Furthermore, it was worth noting that Carissa had previously been the deputy commander of the Mystic Army,
while the Hell Monarch was the commander. Now, she was just taking over her husband's position. Her abilities
were clear for everyone to see.
However, sconservative officials believed that allowing women to hold positions at court would lead to
chaos. They were particularly alarmed because, in addition to promoting Carissa, the king had also permitted her
to establish a women’s academy in the nof the queen dowager.
If this continued, wouldn't it mean women would rise to unprecedented power?
Of course, these concerns could be raised gradually. Today wasn’t the tto voice them.
