NovelEnglishHer Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 227
Chapter 227
It was relatively easy to trace the matter back to Eleanor’s estate.
With so many people bought off by Eleanor, there were bound to be a few with weak nerves who, after being
questioned by the officials a few times, would reveal everything they knew.
When the investigation reached Eleanor’s palace, Anthony ordered a temporary halt. He decided to visit
Northwatch Estate in person to see Carissa.
When Carissa got married, the event was conducted with great discretion. There were no lavish feasts, and the
Marquis of Highcrest’s family only sent three ladies to present gifts. No one attended the wedding.
Carissa and Anthony had seldom met. She had left hat a young age and rarely stayed in the capital. After
returning from Meadow Ridge, the Marquis of Highcrest’s female relatives occasionally visited Carissa’s sister-in-
law. Anthony had conce or twice, but Carissa, still learning etiquette at the time, had only appeared briefly
to offer a polite greeting while concealing her face.
The last tAnthony had been seen by Carissa was during the massacre of her family. She had returned to her
family hfrom the Warren family and found him sitting on the bloodstained stone steps, holding a severed
and mutilated head. His eyes were dark and haunting, like the sky before a storm.
When Carissa heard he was coming personally, her hand trembled while she was doing embroidery, and she
accidentally pricked her finger. As she watched the blood well up, it felt like a dark, menacing presence.
Everything around her seemed to turn red.
She hadn't expected him to cpersonally; she had assumed someone else would be sent to inquire.
Carissa composed herself and said softly, “I'll change into another dress and cout right away.”
After steadying herself for a while, she rose to change her clothes.

Since the massacre, she had no contact with her sister-in-law’s family. At times when she attended events while
she had been with the Warren family, she would deliberately avoid them.
The relationships were like gunpowder buried deep within, where seeing each other

only ignited painful memories and wounds that could not be suppressed.
Carissa changed into a plain dress, her hands trembling slightly within the wide sleeves.
She could never forget the sight of Anthony holding Ryan’s mangled head as he sat on the ground. The memory
was too painful and overwhelming.
As she reached the main hall, she took several deep breaths. However, her eyes betrayed her, as they were
already reddened with unshed tears.
With each step forward, it felt as though her feet were weighed down by lead, making it almost impossible to
move.
She could hear Frederick greeting Anthony Anthony's voice was deep and authoritative, but his responses were
curt and minimal.
After several attempts to compose herself, she finally appeared at the door of the main hall and slowly stepped
inside. Instead of looking directly at Anthony, she lowered her gaze and offered a polite greeting, “Greetings,
Lord Klein.”
Anthony rose, and returned the gesture with a respectful nod. “Lady Sinclair, how are you?”
The formal address felt awkward between them, their eyes betraying their
discomfort.
“I'm well enough,” Carissa replied, her voice trembling slightly. “Please, have a seat.”
Anthony also gestured for her to sit. “Please take a seat as well.”
They both settled into their chairs. Frederick withdrew to the doorway, where he squinted against the glaring
sunlight, his eyes stinging.
No attendants or servants approached them; the two sat in the main hall, momentarily silent.
