Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 991

When Leona arrived at Hell Monarch Estate, she saw Dominic and Cindy. Unable to hold back her tears, she immediately rushed forward to greet them.

Upon seeing her, Dominic and Cindy instinctively glanced outside. But after a moment of seeing no one, a flicker of disappointment crossed their eyes, quickly replaced by their usual calm.

Cindy smiled as she held Leona's hands. "Why are you crying, silly girl? Aren't you happy to see your grandfather safe and sound?"

"I am happy... I'm just too happy," Leona said through her tears.

Dominic looked at his granddaughter, knowing the hardships she had endured. His heart ached with pity.

"Leona, come sit down and let me have a good look at you."

Hearing the concern in his voice and remembering her mom's indifference, Leona felt a pang in her chest. Tears rolled down her cheeks again.

"Grandpa, I'm fine. I have my cousin to help me. Everything's good."

Dominic glanced at Carissa, his heart filled with sorrow. She had suffered so much, yet she still thought of looking after her cousin.

"I'm glad you can take care of each other. Make sure you keep it up," he said.

"Yes, we'll do as you say, Grandpa," Carissa and Leona both responded.

The two cousins exchanged a look, suppressing the sadness of their impending separation, and tried their best to force smiles.

As they chatted, Dominic had something on his mind that he wanted to say, but he couldn't find the right moment.

Noticing this, Cindy asked, "Leona, where is your mom? Why didn't she come with you?"

Just as Leona was about to reply, Rafael entered, accompanied by Jeremiah and Trevor.

"Mr. Murray, Mr. Young, it's been a long time. How have you both been?" said Dominic, standing to greet them.

His voice trailed off, heavy with the weight of unspoken grief.

As a fellow warrior, he understood the difficulty all too well. Whether it was the Sullivan family, the Sinclair family, or any other military family, they carried glory, but also countless wounds that would never fully heal.

"I shouldn't have said all that," Rafael added, realizing his mistake as he saw his wife's face. "I didn't mean to make you feel upset."

Carissa leaned against Rafael, lost in thought. She recalled the fierce determination she had felt on the battlefield. Her only goal had been to protect the land beneath her feet and the people of the kingdom. Anything else had simply faded away.

"Everyone dies eventually. I think they had no regrets," she said.

Rafael fell silent for a moment, then looked up, his gaze steady. "You're right. Once you step onto the battlefield, you've already made a choice about your life. They had no regrets, and neither do we."

The couple's hands clasped tightly as they looked at each other, their eyes filled with resolve. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, facing it together made them fearless.
