NovelEnglishHer Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 313
Chapter 313
On the twenty-second day of December, Kyle indeed left.
Carissa held onto his sleeve as she saw him to the door. The biting cold wind whipped around them, and the
overcast sky suggested that snow was once again imminent.
Carissa sighed inwardly.
Even Kyle was leaving. She could only hope for clear weather on her wedding day. If it didn’t snow, at least the
bridal carriage would have an easier tmoving. She had no other extravagant wishes.
Kyle smiled and said, “I've ordered sjewelry for you at the Gilded Tower. Send someone to collect it. The
payment has already been made, and the receipt is with Frederick.”
“I'll have Frederick go over later,” Carissa replied, watching as the stable hand brought out Kyle's horse. She
couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. “You're really in a hurry to leave? Can't you stay a couple more days?”
“No, it's urgent,” Kyle said, gently rubbing her forehead. “We'll see each other soon enough. Aren't you planning
to go back to Meadow Ridge?”
“Yeah!” Carissa nodded, and added, “Then be careful on the road.”
“I got it. No need to seeoff. Go back inside, Kyle said as he took the reins, mounted his horse, and waved at
her. “Go on back.”

Carissa shook her head. “I'm going to see you off.”
Without further ado, Kyle spurred his horse and rode away.
Carissa stood at the gate, watching Kyle leave, her heart heavy with unspoken disappointment.
How had everything they planned so carefully fallen through?
Her mood sank to a new low.
After returning to the house and sitting for a while, she asked Frederick for the receipt from the Gilded Tower and
set out with Lulu to collect the jewelry Kyle had ordered for her.
The Gilded Tower was quite large, with two connected storefronts and both a ground floor and an upper floor. The
nof the store was simply “Gilded Tower.”
They sold not only gold jewelry, but also other types of precious gems and ornaments. The designs were decent,
though they couldn't quite compare to those of the Golden Tower.
The Gilded Tower had been open for only a few years, and seemed to be trying to capitalize on the Golden
Tower's reputation. However, their backers appeared to be substantial, and their business was doing well.
Carissa handed the receipt to the manager on the first floor. The shopkeeper ordered someone to serve
refreshments and asked her to sit for a while he personally went to retrieve the item
The shopkeeper, who looked as thin as a monkey, moved quickly. In no time, he returned with a box and handed
it to Carissa.

“Please inspect it, my lady,” he said.
Carissa opened the box and found a large gold bracelet inside. It was the kind of flashy, garish gold bracelet that
looked almost tasteless.
Kyle had a refined taste, so she had high expectations for his gift.
But this...
The only redeeming feature was that it was indeed quite large and heavy. When worn on the wrist, it gleamed
with a golden brilliance. It looked completely like something a nouveau riche would wear.

The shopkeeper’s elaborate reception was likely due to the bracelet’s size and weight. Carissa felt a pang of
disappointment, but she reminded herself that it was the thought that mattered.
She tried on the bracelet briefly before quickly removing it and placing it back in the box. The Gilded Tower was
quite crowded, and she didn’t want to be seen by too many people.
As she handed the box to Lulu, she happened to run into Evelyn.

“Good day, Madam Prince,” Carissa greeted respectfully.
“Lady Sinclair,” Evelyn responded with a faint smile. “With your wedding approaching, why are you still out and
about?”
“I'm just picking up something.” Carissa replied.
Evelyn stepped closer, and said softly, “Lady Sinclair, could we have a word in private?”
Noting the gentle and almost pleading expression on Evelyn's face, Carissa agreed.
“Certainly. There's a coffeehouse next door. Let's go there.”
They requested a private room at the coffeehouse, leaving Lulu and Evelyn's maid outside.
Once seated, Evelyn spoke first. “I haven't had a chance to congratulate you yet. | wish you and His Highness a
lifetof happiness and many children.”
“Thank you,” Carissa responded graciously. “And congratulations on your daughter's marriage to General
Warren. | pray it goes smoothly.”
Evelyn smiled bitterly. “Thank you. When | visited Northwatch Estate with my daughter that day, it was truly out
of necessity.”
Carissa reassured her, “There's no need to be so formal, Madam Prince.”
Evelyn nodded. “I understand. Lady Sinclair, you concealed sof the truth that day. In fact, we knew that
before you left the Warren family, they had intended to claim half of your dowry.”
