Her Majestic Battle Cry 673
Chapter 673
Even though hardly anyone cup here, the place was kept remarkably clean. There was even a swing set on
the small platform, large enough for two or three people to sit on together.
However, there were no guardrails, and the entire platform lacked any kind of barrier. If the swing swung out too
far and the person on it couldn't hold on tight, they could easily fall off.
Violet invited Jaina to sit on the swing and began to gently rock it back and forth, facing the river view.
Jaina felt a flutter of fear in her heart. Her martial arts skills weren't very good, and her Lightfoot Skill was
mediocre at best. She clutched the rope next to her in a death grip.
“When | met you at Grovehill Estate, you didn’t know my identity. How could you be so sure afterward?” Jaina
was puzzled. Everything felt too coincidental, as if it had been carefully orchestrated.
Violet replied, “That day, you seemed somewhat familiar tobecause of the mole on your lip. The Hell
Monarch’s princess consort’s mother also had a mole at the corner of her mouth. Plus, you bear a resemblance
to the Hell Monarch’s wife, and there were sfamiliar mannerisms about you. | felt | knew you, but I couldn't
quite place who you remindedof. Now | realize-it was Jacob.”

“Jacob?” Jaina repeated the name, feeling a strange sense of unfamiliarity. She vaguely recalled a boy who once
brought her pound cakes under an apple tree. The sunlight shone on his face, and his smile was broad and
bright.
Yet, she couldn't recall what he looked like. And now, that boy had grown up and becthe head archivist at
Hell Monarch Estate.
“You still haven't toldhow you knew | was Jaina,” Jaina said again.
Violet continued, “Actually, we already knew that Eleanor intended to betroth someone to Thomas, who happens
to be my godbrother. They want to place their people within the military. | imagine she didn’t keep that from you.
If she wanted you to carry out a task, she’d naturally need to inform you.”
Jaina nodded. “Ye
you're right about that.”
“From the moment | laid eyes on you, something felt off. You've lived in Harmony Palace for so long, right? Have
you seen any women there who bear a resemblance to you? Those concubines of Henry's?”
Jaina frowned and shook her head. “I've never seen them.”
“When Eleanor was younger, she was infatuated with the Duke of Northwatch. You would know him as Hector
Sinclair, the grand general who lost his life on the battlefield. He was a marquis back then. However, the duke
married Melanie, a lady from the Sullivan family.
“That made Eleanor hate anyone who resembled Melanie. She went to great lengths to gather those who looked
similar to Melanie and made them Henry’s concubines, forcing them to bear children only to mistreat them later.
You also bear sresemblance, especially with that beauty mark on your lip.
“When we discovered that she had rescued you in Stonebridge County, we suspected there might be more to the
story. So, | thought about having Kyle paint your portrait and send someone to Stonebridge County to
investigate. But then...”
Violet paused for a moment, and Jaina felt a rush of anxiety. She quickly pressed, “But then what?”

“But then | saw many portraits in the study when | went to see Kyle. In his search for you, Jacob had Kyle infer
what you might look like now. This calculation was made based on your childhood appearance and your parent's
looks.
“When | opened the study door, | saw a painting that looked exactly like you. That's why | asked to meet you
today. It's possible that people resembled each other, so we weren't entirely sure you were Jacob's sister. So, |
brought out that rabbit figurine and told you that story. Everything | mentioned actually happened to you and
Jacob. It seems that you truly are Jaina York.”

After hearing this, Jaina fell silent for a long time. She didn’t understand art, and couldn’t grasp how someone
could predict her current appearance based on how she looked like when she was younger and that of her
parents.
However, memories didn't lie.
Jaina remembered fragments, though they were blurry. As those memories surged back, a deep pain and
bitterness filled her heart, mingled with a flicker of warmth.
She had always believed that she was abandoned by her parents because she was sick, and resentment had
built up against them over the years. Because of her abandonment, she wanted to repay anyone who showed
her even the slightest kindness, often with a vengeance.
Eleanor had saved her. The gratitude she felt was akin to being reborn through new parents. So when Eleanor
offered to take her back to the capital, Jaina didn’t object. She obediently followed, thinking she would work as a
servant in the grand princess’ residence to repay her grace.
After returning to the capital, however, Eleanor treated her exceptionally well. She pampered Jaina and sent
people to teach her the proper ways, claiming she would find a good marriage for Jaina in the future.
