Carissa contemplated the possibility, then said, “That could really happen. Raf is quite sentimental, and people
like him tend to get swept up in emotional turmoil more easily.”
Violet's eyes widened in disbelief, “You actually agree with me? You should at least try to argue. Aren't you
bothered by it at all?”
“Weren't we simply analyzing the situation? It’s not actually happening, so why should | be bothered?” asked
Carissa, stunned.
“I'm talking about it hypothetically,” Violet clarified.
“Why would you take a hypothetical situation seriously?” Carissa countered.
Violet stared at her friend and couldn't help but poke Carissa’s forehead with her finger. “I seriously wonder if
you have any feelings for your husband at all. I've never been in love, but what's mine is mine. If someone
covets what's mine, just the thought of it would makeunhappy.”

“You're so petty!” Carissa shot back. over something that hasn't happer relationship with your husband. Its
“Getting angry if it really happens is one thing, but getting worked up
yet will only harm your emotions and health, not to mention your +
t worth it.”
Recalling Violet's earlier comments about not wanting to marry, Carissa added, “Besides, you're the one who
doesn’t want to get married or talk about feelings. What experience or qualifications do you have to advise me?”
Violet rolled her eyes. “I understand feelings just fine, so why can’t | comment on your situation?
| don’t want to get married because | feel that no man deserves me. I'm great and one of a kind. There won't be
another woman likein this world, just like there won't be another woman like you. But we're different.
“You would have had to enter the palace if you hadn’t gotten married. Besides, Prince Rafael treats you well. But
me? | don’t have a secret admirer who has lovedsince | was young and has been waiting for me. So, what's
the point of getting married? Why not just enjoy my life? | don’t even have to worry about children. Look at
Leona-she nearly lost her life giving birth.”
After a pause, Violet asked nervously, “Tell me, are you afraid of giving birth?”
Carissa nodded. “Of course. | asked Ivy, and she said many women have died during childbirth.”
Violet sighed. “Exactly! Giving birth is such a painful ordeal, and if it's a girl, the child will also suffer. No way I'm
going through that! | won't ever think about marriage!”
Suddenly recalling something, Violet added, “By the way, you once mentioned wanting to start an academy for
women, right? | think it's a great idea.”
“Didn’t you want to set up a martial arts class instead?” Carissa replied absent-mindedly. “Why the sudden
support for the women’s academy?”
It's not contradicting what | wanted. We can have both a martial arts class and an academy for women. | want
them to learn more than just the typical teachings on womanly virtues. They should study a variety of subjects,
including what men learn, so they can broaden their horizons. Isn't that also what you were

Carissa leaned against the door frame, her gaze distant. “When Barrett first brought Aurora back, he said she
wouldn't be confined to the inner courtyard. Aurora also dismissed the notion. She looked down on women in the
inner courtyard, thinking they only cared about the rivalry between wives and concubines.
“But the truth is, many women have to spend their lives in the Inner courtyard. They may never see a battlefield
or have the chance to take exams for official titles. It seems that marrying and having children is the only path
for them.
“Even if that's the case, | hope there will be women like Rosalind, who is well-read and knowledgeable about
history and literature. They should have a broader perspective, a generous heart, and know how to love
themselves. Even if they're trapped in the inner courtyard for life, they shouldn't be treated lightly by others.”
Violet leaned against her friend and said, “I might not understand everything you're saying, and | haven't
experienced it myself, but I'll support you in whatever you do, unconditionally and without limits.”
Carissa chuckled softly and wrapped her arms around Violet's. “You know, when we went to see Rosalind on
Thomas’ behalf, her words madeeven more determined. She admired Thomas, but also knew how to think
rationally. She underste her priorities and kept her head when considering the practical issues. She didn’t let
emotions push he » making decisions that seemed like the easiest way to be happy in that moment. That was
the perspective and strength that education has given her.”
“I don’t know what that strength is, but Freally admire women like that,” Violet replied lazily.
