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

Looking at the cute and innocent princess, Carissa recalled how she looked when she was a child—chubby and adorable.Kiera had slimmed down a bit, but still had cherubic cheeks that gave her a sweet and charming appearance. Especially when she smiled, her dimples were shallow, and her eyes seemed filled with sweetness, making people happy just to see her.Carissa smiled. "If everything goes well, I should be your sister-in-law."Kiera shook Carissa's arm, stars twinkling in her eyes. "I admire you so much. The queen dowager and the king say you're the most outstanding female general in our era. It used to be Aurora, but I don't like her much. I met her once—she was very aloof and acted rudely. She didn't have the grace and charm that you have, being both a formidable general and a captivating woman."The princess stuck out her tongue playfully. "But Mother says girls shouldn't casually talk about other girls; it can easily cause misunderstandings and tarnish their reputations. So,

Carissa felt a strange sense of unease, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it—something like hostility, yet not quite. Especially after Salvador had ended his remarks with that enigmatic smile.What did he mean by she was already defending Rafael? It was baffling.She paused before speaking, "Your Majesty, in warfare, there are no absolutely foolproof decisions, especially during decisive battles. It's practically taking a gamble. Our strategy for attacking Simonton City was sound. Minor errors should be forgiven, considering we ultimately reclaimed the Southern Frontier and achieved victory."Salvador burst into hearty laughter. "I only asked a question or two. Look at you, so nervous. There's no need to worry. I was just asking out of curiosity."Carissa felt her back dampen with sweat.It was hardly a casual inquiry. Salvador had seemed so serious. It was almost as if he was ready to lay blame on someone!Holding Rafael accountable for the mistakes of his soldiers see

Rafael remained silent.Was there really a difference between being called Marshal and being called Your Highness?"Why are you waiting here?" Carissa asked.Snapping back to the present, Rafael replied, "Oh, I wanted to see if my mom was causing you any trouble. She can be difficult to deal with, can't she? But don't worry. Once we're at my residence, she won't be as audacious as she is in the palace. After all, the people in my household will listen to me and to you, not necessarily to her."Carissa smiled. "She's not too difficult to deal with. She has caused some trouble, but her methods are… somewhat crude and manageable."Rafael tilted his head.Crude methods? That was an apt description. Helen knew nothing of subtlety. She had been pampered all her life. A tantrum or a sulk would usually get her what she wanted."She does lack finesse. I remember the harshest method she used against Lady Dakota when I lived in the palace. When Lady Dakota was pregnant with my seventh sist

Eleanor's invitation did indeed arrive at Northwatch Estate. Also, the celebration was tomorrow, but the invitation was delivered only today.Clearly, there was no time to prepare a proper gift, so Carissa would have to choose something from the storeroom."Grand Princess Eleanor has always held a grudge against your family. When the late Madam Sinclair was still alive, Grand Princess Eleanor never invited her to any of her parties. Why has she invited you this time? Could it be that a crowd of gossipers is waiting for you?" said Lily, who was quite worried.Carissa set the invitation aside. "That's a certainty."She had heard about the past grievances between her parents and Eleanor. When she returned from Meadow Ridge after the deaths of her father and brothers, Carissa found out that Eleanor had sent her mother, Melanie, a "gift" that year.Eleanor had specifically found someone to carve a miniature sculpture. It was a small, intricately carved sculpture of a chastity belt that
