In Evergreen Palace, an angry, sharp voice rang out. “She wants to become your consort? Unless I'm dead, you tell her not to harbor such delusions! Otherwise, I won't spare her!”Rafael remained calm as he watched the distraught Helen. Having grown up amidst such roaring voices, he was accustomed to it.However, it was unlikely Carissa would be.Helen’s face turned ashen as she extended a finger; the long, claw ring almost poked Rafael's nose. “In a few days, I'll be moving into your residence. If she dares to set foot in the estate, I will have her legs chopped off!” she screamed.Rafael nodded. “Alright, chopping off her legs sounds good. I've seen her cut off the legs of enemies—she was as swift as lightning. With a single slash, she divided their body into three pieces. It’s quite a sight.”Helen raised her hand, her voice cutting like a knife. “Whether she’s the legitimate daughter of a duke or a highly skilled warrior, she’s nothing but a discarded woman expelled from th

Helen lay on her chaise lounge, her heart burning with resentment towards Carissa. Her attendant, Gillian, stood beside her, trying to offer comfort. “There’s no need to be so upset, Your Highness. Prince Rafael is a man with his own thoughts. He’s merely infatuated with Lady Sinclair’s beauty at the moment. I’ve heard she’s the most stunning woman in the capital. "When Madam Sinclair first planned to marry her off, many noble families sought her hand. It’s a mystery why Madam Sinclair ended up marrying her to General Warren.”As she dabbed Helen’s tears away with a handkerchief, she continued soothingly, “After all, she is merely a secondhand item. There’s no need for you to be so enraged. If Prince Rafael insists on marrying her, so be it. A beauty from afar is pleasing to the eye, but living with her every day can become tiresome. "No matter how beautiful a woman is, if she becomes petty and jealous, which man wouldn’t grow weary of her? Prince Rafael will have many concubi

Gillian sent people out to investigate, and quickly learned about the commotion Rebecca had caused at Northwatch Estate with her eldest son and daughter-in-law. The incident had caused quite a stir, and it was easy to gather information. The general sentiment among the onlookers was that the Warren family had been excessively oppressive.Gillian had this information confirmed and then reported it to Helen, who frowned at the news. “If Carissa hadn’t pushed the matter to an extreme, would the Warrens have gone to such lengths to cause a scene? Did Sebastian really refuse to treat her?”“It’s true,” Gillian confirmed. “The physician's office also issued a statement and clarified that it was due to Madam Warren’s lack of virtue that they refused to treat her.”Helen sneered. “Since when do physicians decide whether to treat a patient based on their character? As an outsider, how could he know the internal matters of the Warren family? Clearly, Carissa must have told him she was bei

After Rafael left Evergreen Palace, he headed to Serenity Palace to pay respects to Victoria and seek her approval to marry Carissa.Victoria was delighted. “Child, you're silently accomplishing great deeds! Just two months ago, your mom was expressing her worries about your marriage to me. Who would have thought you'd meet Cari on the battlefield and instantly hit it off? Cari is a good girl. You need to treat her well and cherish her.”“Mother, I will definitely treat her well,” Rafael assured. “However, it seems my mom doesn't like Carissa much. She might summon Carissa to the palace in the next couple of days to give her a hard time.”Victoria immediately understood that he was indirectly asking for her help. Her eyes softened with affection as she said kindly, “Don't worry. As long as I'm here, she won't suffer anything.”Rafael knelt, and solemnly thanked her. “I’ll leave everything to you, Mother.”Victoria gazed at him, a flicker of complex emotions in her eyes. However,

The next day, Carissa entered the palace with Lulu.She first went to pay respects to Victoria. Victoria happily took her hand, and asked about her relationship with Rafael.Carissa had prepared her explanation well. She recounted how she and Rafael had fallen for each other on the battlefield, and that he had proposed upon returning to the capital. Grateful for his regard, she had accepted.Victoria knew the real story, but chose not to mention Salvador's three-month ultimatum. She merely smiled and said it was all a matter of fate, divinely ordained.After chatting for the length of about half an hour, Victoria mentioned summoning Helen.Understanding Victoria’s good intentions, Carissa shook her head. “Lady Helen has already summoned me to Evergreen Palace. If I rely on your favor and defy her, she will only resent me more once I marry into the family. You may protect me this time, but you won’t always be able to shield me in the future.”Victoria gazed at her. “You’re always

Leaving Lulu outside the hall, Carissa lowered her head and stepped inside.The white marble tiles beneath her feet were so polished that it looked like mirrors, reflecting the opulent and luxurious decor that surrounded her.Carissa quickly glanced up and saw a distinguished woman seated on a chair in the center of the hall, dressed in a regal purple gown. Her hair was styled in an elaborate bun, adorned with luxurious jewels, and her features bore a slight resemblance to Rafael's.Carissa knew this woman was Helen.Stepping forward, Carissa knelt. "Greetings, Your Highness."Carissa's posture was perfect, her gaze lowered, and her dress neatly arranged. The slight movement of her hairpins as she knelt was just right, leaving no room for criticism. After all, she had spent a year learning proper etiquette upon her return from Meadow Ridge, under the guidance of the palace tutors.Helen's cold voice pierced the air, "Raise your head, and let me see your alluring face."Carissa o

Carissa looked up, her expression solemn. "Thank you for your leniency, Your Highness. As for my status and whether I am worthy of the marshal, that is for him to decide. Either way, since he proposed, I will marry him.""He's simply momentarily confused! He will come to his senses eventually. You're a woman who was discarded by the Warren family. He's only intrigued by you for now, but he will abandon you once the novelty wears off. In the end, you will be the one who suffers. I'm looking out for you. Why are you so ungrateful?" Helen argued furiously."I divorced Barrett. I'm not a discarded woman—I requested the divorce edict. If anyone was discarded, it was him. The Warren family had no say in it. Nevertheless, I appreciate your concern," Carissa replied.Still angry, Helen retorted, "Regardless of who left whom, you're still a woman who has married once. A virtuous woman does not remarry. Since you chose to divorce, you should stay at home and not aim for higher status. What yo

Helen didn't want to let Carissa leave so easily, at least not before she gave up the idea of marrying into the royal family. However, Carissa didn't mind kneeling. Having been punished with kneeling plenty of times at Meadow Ridge, she had grown accustomed to it.She had no intention of currying favor with Helen, who already had plenty of people around her doing just that. Besides, Carissa's marriage to Rafael was a mutually beneficial arrangement. There was no need for unnecessary flattery.In fact, Helen's straightforward personality made her easier to deal with. She was fierce but not cunning, which was preferable to those who were two-faced.Carissa wouldn't bully Helen, but she wouldn't let her future mother-in-law bully her either. It was much like when Carissa had to deal with Rebecca when she was still part of the Warren family.Before Barrett returned, Rebecca had always been kind to her, so Carissa naturally showed her respect. But after Barrett's return and his decision
