Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1205

The banishment of the storyteller from the gates barely marked the end of one problem before another arrived

on their doorstep.

Matchmakers began appearing in turn, each eager to arrange a marriage for Rosalind. The prospects they

presented were enough to make Rosalind’s parents‘ blood boil. These were men so far beneath their daughter's

station that even a passing glance in their direction would be enough to provoke a disgusted sneer.

It wasn’t a matter of low status or humble origins-it was their disgraceful behavior. Shad long ago fathered

illegitimate children from concubines, while others spent their days drowning in gambling halls, addicted to the

thrill of the dice and cards, regardless of how deeply they sank into debt. Swere regulars at brothels, and

others kept secret mistresses on the side.

These were the kinds of men who usually wouldn't dare approach the family for a marriage proposal. Yet now,

they paraded forward, puffing out their chests as if offering Rosalind a great favor. They acted as if she had no

other choice but to accept them, as if she were somehow indebted to them for their benevolent interest.

Trevor's fury was beyond measure. He stormed through the house, broom in hand, driving the matchmakers out

with such force that the scandal only grew. The gossip was relentless.

People in the city couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all.

“They act like she has options! If someone's willing to marry her, it'll only be because her ancestors accumulated

sgood luck for their family.”

“She’s been sullied by that brutish man. Does she still think she has any worth left?”

“She’s doomed to never marry. Let's see who would want her. She might as well shave her head and beca

nun. At least then she doesn’t embarrass other women.”

The remarks cfrom all corners-sfrom men, sfrom women. Whether they spoke out of cruelty or

personal spite, there was no sympathy.

In the whole situation, Jocelyn was the happiest because she hated Rosalind. Kylie had asked her to make things

difficult for Rosalind before, so she had already made Rosalind her enemy.

When Jocelyn heard of Rosalind’s misfortune, she wasted no tin seeking out her close friend, Cassidy. She

thought they might gossip about the scandal together, perhaps enjoy smutual satisfaction in seeing

Rosalind’s downfall.

To her surprise, Cassidy kept avoiding the topic, changing the subject several times, and looked completely

distracted and out of sorts.

Jocelyn becupset. “What's wrong with you? Aren’t you happy to hear that Rosalind’s reputation is ruined?

You've hated her for so long!”

Cassidy instinctively denied it. “I never hated her.”

“What do you mean by that?” Jocelyn said, staring at her. “You were the one who used to torment her the most,

not like Hailey, who was always too afraid to act.”

Cassidy blinked, taken aback by the words. As the memories of how she had treated Rosalind flooded her mind,

her eyes welled up

7th tears.

“Was | really that cruel?” she asked, her voice trembling. “I didn’t know. | never realized how monstrous and

vicious | must have seemed.”

Jocelyn jumped up, indignant. “What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I'm cruel and vicious too?”

Cassidy quickly covered her face with her hands, sobbing uncontrollably. It took a long while before she could

speak again, her words coming out in gasps.

“Ms. Young was trying to protectwhen that man grabbed her. If it hadn't been for her, | would have been the

one assaulted. The people would have been talking aboutnow if that had happened. | might not even be

here right now if that happened. | could have been sent to a nunnery already.”

Jocelyn was caught off guard by Cassidy's confession and froze. After a long pause, she slowly sank into a chair,

turning her head as though trying to make sense of it. “She...did something like that?”

“It’s true,” Cassidy sobbed. “A lot of people saw it. Hailey saw it too. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”

Her voice broke, her eyes red and swollen with regret.

“But she’s a bad person!” Jocelyn said, dazed.

Kylie didn’t like Rosalind, so she must be someone bad.

“She’s not a bad person. She saved me.” Cassidy wiped away her tears, revealing red, swollen eyes. Her tears

clung to her lashes, and more spilled from her eyes. “Why do you think she’s a bad person?”

Jocelyn opened her mouth but couldn't find the words. How could someone so bad save someone else? She was

so confused.
