Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 356

Chapter 356

Carissa blinked, unable to believe her ears.

She looked at the two thousand silver coins in banknotes that had been handed to her, feeling a mix of

astonishment and disbelief.

Wow, Helen really was generous with her money. It seemed so easy for her to give it out.

Carissa could see Helen was truly becoming a gullible fool.

No, she already was a fool.

“Have you finally seen Eleanor’s true colors, Mother?” Carissa asked with a smile, her tone considerably softer.

Helen's face darkened. “Do you think I'm blind? Even after all this, how can | not have figured her

“I saw you speaking to her so politely, and thought maybe you were still deceived by her,” Carissa replied.

Helen snapped, “How can | not speak politely? One of us has to be strict and tough, while the other has to be

soft and accommodating. We can’t really tear down all the pretenses we have with her. She’s on good. terms

You're different-you’re fearless and lack awareness!”

Carissa remained silent, counting the banknotes. Each banknote was worth one hundred silver coins. She

casually handed one to Gillian.

“This is your share of the winnings.”

Gillian’s eyes widened, and she seemed to have trouble catching her breath. “Your Highness, this is one hundred

silver coins!”

“That's right. You've served Mother for many years. Since she won the money, you naturally deserve a portion of

it,” Carissa said with a smile.

Helen shot Carissa a sidelong glance.

“Why are you giving her this? She has no worries about food and clothing. As long as she’s by my side provide

for her in her old age. It’s dangerous for her to have so much money on her at her age. She co easily be

swindled.”

But Gillian quickly thanked Carissa, and took the banknote.

Carissa observed the old attendant’s reactions. She guessed that Gillian’s daily needs were likely covered, but

beyond the regular stipend from the palace, Helen probably didn’t offer much additional reward.

It wasn’t that Helen was harsh, but rather, she treated Gillian as one of her own.

Speople were like that-kind to outsiders but indifferent to their own, sometimes even pinching pennies from

their own to benefit outsiders. 1

Carissa pocketed the rest of the banknotes, thinking that, for now, it would be fine if Helen continued to see her

as an outsider.

Better to remain an outsider than to be treated like one of her own, especially if it was like this

When Gillian received the barinote worth a hundred silver coins, she stared at it with wide-eyed amazement as if

she had never seen such a sum before. Helen couldn’t help but scoff at the older woman's reaction

“Look at you! Have you ever lacked anything in these years?

“My lady, you have always treatedgenerously and never been lacking Gillian said with a broad smile.

However, who wouldn't want a little extra money on hand at this age?

Gillian cast a grateful glance at Carissa. She resolved that if there were ever a twhen Helen was displeased

with Carissa, she would certainly speak up on Carissa’s behalf.

Helen leaned her elbow on the carriage window, turning her eyes away from Carissa and maintaining her usual

disdainful demeanor.

Yet, internally, Helen's feelings toward Carissa had changed significantly.

Despite knowing the true story of the stolen dowry, Carissa had never complained or blamed Helen in person.

Instead, Carissa took action and went to Eleanor’s residence to retrieve the pearls and the three thousand silver

coins.

Helen's decision to give Carissa the two thousand silver coins was driven by her guilt. After all, asking Gillian to

steal pearls for Eleanor was wrong.

Eleanor had put Helen in a difficult position. If she hadn't done it, then she wasn’t brave enough. In that case,

she would face public criticism.

Fortunately, the matter was resolved.

Upon reflection, Helen realized two dangerous back on them sent a shiver down her spine.

aspects she hadn’t considered at the time. Now, thinki

The first was Eleanor’s refusal to return the pearls and her leverage over Helen regarding the dowry.

The second was the potential chaos if Carissa made a public fuss about it. If that happened, Helen would lose all

her dignity and standing, leaving her in a dire situation.

Thinking about these things made Helen realize how vicious Eleanor could be.

However, after this incident, Helen could no longer harbor any dislike toward Carissa. In fact, she even regretted

sof the harsh words she had spoken when Carissa first arrived.

Helen also realized that it wasn’t that Carissa couldn’t handle her. Just seeing how easily Carissa had managed to

anger Eleanor and retrieve the pearls showed the younger woman's capability.

If Carissa were to contend with Helen, the former would undoubtedly win.
