GoodNovelHer Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 197
Chapter 197
When Carisse entered the venue, she was the center of attention.
Many of the officials wives had already paid her a visit, but seeing
er now in her elegant attire, her beauty seemed even more ranscendent and otherworldly.
A hint of pink on her lips added a subtle flush to her already radiant complexion. Her pale cheeks, naturally
smooth as silk, were gently highlighted with a touch of eyebrow pencil. A splash of green on her earlobes only
enhanced her spring-like beauty, making her stand out among the finely dressed noble ladies present.
Jessica, who had also dressed up for the occasion, wore a gold- threaded pleated skirt, a pale pink silk gown
embroidered with peonies, and a red coat adorned with intricate gold and silver threads. Her hair was styled in
an elaborate updo, decorated with pearls and gemstones, reflecting the height of luxury and splendor.
Yet, despite her meticulous preparation, Jessica's grand appearance paled in comparison to Carissa’s
understated grace.
Jessica was naturally impulsive, and she couldn't hide her irritation at Carissa’s refined look.
Smiling coldly, she said, “Today is my mother’s birthday. You cdressed so simply, which clearly shows a lack
of respect for her celebration.”
Carissa glanced at her, and replied with a smile, “It doesn’t matter how | dress. Since it’s Her Highness’s birthday
banquet, if | were to dress as extravagantly as you, it would only waste your efforts in dressing in such splendid
attire on this occasion to honor Her Highness.”
“What?” Jessica looked down at her own outfit, which was indeed splendidly matched. But Carissa’s implication
about her attire being
merely a show for everyone here was hard to swallow. “Are you saying that I'm dressed inappropriately?”
Carissa scrutinized Jessica again, and said, “If it’s just about. dressing up, being a bit flashy doesn’t matter as

Carissa glanced around at the other ladies with a smile, and asked, “ Don’t you agree, ladies?”
No one dared to speak up, but sstifled their laughter.
They thought Carissa must be unaware of the tro ble she was stirring by making Jessica look foolish in front of
Eleanor!
Carissa noticed Dakota, Josephine, and Helen among the guests. Her gaze briefly swept over them, and she saw
a flicker of light in Helen's eyes.
Carissa felt a hint of confusion.
Helen's gaze was rather intriguing.
Approaching Eleanor to offer her birthday wishes, Carissa’s peripheral vision caught sight of Rebecca, her former
mother-in-law.
Eleanor had invited Rebecca, and Carissa could almost guess the topics of conversation that had been carried
out before her arrival.
But why did Helen look sullen after her initial surprise? Was she still upset about something, or had someone
offended her here?
Seeing that no one was paying Carissa any attention, Jessical couldn't help but feel a sense of triumph.
She sneered coldly, “We were just discussing you. Rebecca is truly pitiful-she’s so sick because of you, and you
won't even allow Sebastian to treat her. Though you've achieved merit for the court, it doesn’t erase your cruel
nature. No wonder you've becthe

abandoned wife of the Warren family.”
Jessica was merely the mouthpiece for Eleanor. When Eleanor wanted to voice something but couldn’t due to her
esteemed and elder status, she let her daughter speak on her behalf.
Once Jessica finished, Eleanor gave a mild rebuke. “Jessica, be respectful. How can you speak so recklessly?”
She turned to Carissa with a gentle smile. “Carissa, I've spoiled her. Don’t take her words to heart.”
The crowd stifled their laughter, clearly enjoying Eleanor’s confirmation of Jessica's remarks.
However, Carissa was not upset.
With a smile, she hd, ‘Regd [11

Jessica was currently seeking Sebastian’s help to improve her health. Since her marriage, she hadn't become
pregnant.
Her husband already had a son from one of his concubines. Meanwhile, there was still no sign of her own
legitimate son.
Sebastian had advised her that with six months of treatment, she might finally conceive.
She certainly didn’t want to offend Sebastian at this critical moment.
