Carissa sat for a while, but did not touch the coffee or snacks. Instead, she rose and announced her

intention to walk around.

In Harmony Palace, guests were generally allowed to explore and enjoy the surroundings, provided that such arrangements had been made in advance.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

However, uninvited intrusions or requests to wander about were not permitted. There were certain areas within the residence that were off–limits, hiding secrets Eleanor would rather keep concealed.

As the princess consort of the Hell Monarch, Carissa was not to be stopped by the household guards. If they dared to interfere or make a remark, they would face severe consequences.

Ordinary servants could not halt her advance toward the inner courtyard. Despite several attempts to block her, she skillfully maneuvered past them and made her way with purpose toward the inner courtyard,

Just as she approached one of the courtyards, someone shouted loudly, “Grand Princess Eleanor has returned!”

Carissa’s lips curled into a smile.

Ah, so Eleanor was finally willing to come out.

Carissa adjusted her hair, and cast a cursory glance at the courtyard, “Since the grand princess has returned, I’ll just wait in the main hall.”

The servants were visibly nervous, and responded, “Yes, Your Highness. Please wait in the main hall. The grand princess will change and join you shortly.”

Carissa returned to the main hall to find Helen had finished all the snacks and was now requesting a new cup of coffee, as the previous one had gone cold.

Helen was usually commanding and imperious, but she had adopted a notably subdued demeanor within Harmony Palace, showing considerable courtesy to the servants.

Upon seeing Carissa return, Helen grumbled, “Grand Princess Eleanor has returned. You’ve managed to wait long enough.”

Carissa took a seat, and replied calmly, “Is she truly back or just emerging? We’re sitting here in the main hall. Unless she enters through a side or back door, we should see her come in.”

“She is the mistress of the residence. How could she possibly use the side or back door? Don’t you understand the rules?” Helen retorted.

“In that case, we’ll simply watch her come in,” Carissa said, taking a sip of her now–cold coffee.

As expected, Helen sent Gillian outside to wait. After a long while, with no sign of anyone coming in, Gillian was left shivering from the cold.

Determined to confirm for Helen that Eleanor had returned from outside, Gillian braved the chill. She sneezed continuously, but refused to go back.

She waited for almost half an hour. Finally, unable to endure the cold any longer, she decided to head
