RankNovelHer Majestic Battle Cry 675
Chapter 675
When Jaina returned to Grovehill Estate, Gemma immediately approached her, eager to know what had
transpired.
Gemma a was a respected lady of a marquis‘ family, and she would normally never treat a troupe performer with
such kindness. She only did it because it was a favor to Eleanor.
However, Jaina’s eyes were red, which was clearly a sign of losing her composure. Gemma couldn't help but ask
sharply, “Have you been crying? Did you do it in front of them?”
Jaina pressed her hand to her chest, looking as though she was still shaken.
“Madam Gemma, you don’t understand. We went to Glimmering Tower, and we had a private room on the top
floor. It was supposed to be the highest floor in the building, but Ms. Spencer wanted to test my courage. She
said that since Thomas comes from a military background, | must be brave if | was to be his wife. She took my
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthand and flew to the very top! It was terrifying! | didn’t cry in front of her, but the wind up there was so strong it
made my eyes water. | only cried after we left and were in the carriage. If you don’t believe me, you can ask
Tamara.”
Gemma looked up at Tamara and asked, “Is what she says true?”
Tamara nodded, and replied honestly, “Yes, Madam Gemma. When Ms. Spencer looked out the window, she
provocatively asked Ms. Sanford if she dared to join her. She said a proper wife shouldn't lack courage. | told Ms.
Sanford to go with her, as | thought Ms. Spencer wouldn't endanger her. When they cback down, their hair
was tousled from the wind, and their eyes were both red.”
Gemma'’s expression eased slightly, and she asked, “Were you there the entire time?”
“I couldn't follow when they went up, but | was at the door of the private room the whole time. | could hear them
talking, and see them.”
Gemma hummed thoughtfully, but then frowned. “Ms. Spencer... To be frank, even though she calls Thomas her
godbrother and Alice her godmother, they've never formalized their bond. It's possible that Violet is harboring
thoughts of marrying Thomas, and is using this to make things difficult for you.”
“Is that possible?” Jaina asked, her eyes wide in shock as she stared at Gemma. “Did she really do this on
purpose? It does make sense. | was minding my own business and enjoying ssnacks in the private room
when she suddenly insisted on takingup.”
“Be wary of her. If she invites you again, you mustn't go Gemma instructed firmly
“Understood, | won't,” Jaina replied with a nod.
Gemma shot her a sideways glance. Then, she sighed and added, “Let's face it, you're getting on in years.
Thomes claiming he wants someone older and more composed? That's probably just a farce. Who wouldn't want
to marry a sixteen-year-old girl? You're twenty-six this year, right? If fate had been kinder, you might already
have a child nearing ten.”
Gemma looked down on Jaina’s background, especially knowing where Jaina cfrom. To her, a mere farm girl
was of higher status.
Someone who performed tricks on the streets? In essence, that was a lower-class life-unworthy of being
considered among decent company, just like those entertainers.

Such a background was an embarrassment to the Sanford family.
“You're right, Madam Gemma,” Jaina murmured, her voice barely above a whisper..
“Enough. You may return to your room. Stay out of sight to avoid offending anyone through your ignorance of the
rules,” Gemma ordered.
“Yes, Madam Gemma,” Jaina replied, bowing respectfully as she followed Tamara back inside.
Jaina couldn’t miss the disdain and contempt in Gemma’s gaze. She understood that in the eyes of a noble
family, acknowledging a traveling performer as a relative was a disgrace.
In the past, Jaina had kept silent about her lowly status. Now that she knew her true identity, she felt even less
inclined to speak out. It was best to remain cautious.
Once they investigated the matter of the bandits in Stonebridge County, they would discover whether Eleanor
had genuinely helped Jaina out of a sense of justice-or had ulterior motives.
