Chapter 350
The king and queen received Rafael and Canssa in the Great Hall.
After the formalities and greetings. Salvador granted them seats. Kylie glanced at Carissa, who was adomed with simple, elegant makeup and let out a slight sigh of relief.
At least everything was settled.”
Had Canssa truly entered the palace, the harem might have become her domain. Her stunning and ethereal beauty was unmatched by any of the palace concubines.
Instinctively, Kyle looked toward Salvador, she saw that he, too, was gazing at Carissa. A tightness gripped her heat–she was all too familiar with that look. Whenever Salvador was drawn to a woman, there was always a trace of lingering fascination in his gaze.
Once again, Kylie felt a sense of relief that Carissa had married Rafael.
embered how Salvador’s edict had kept her awake for nights on end. Any other woman might have been fine, but Carissa was different–her fallen brothers and father held significant weight Salvadors heart, and her beauty was truly breathtaking.
Kyle’s fears hadn’t come to pass. Instead, Carissa had become her sister–in–law.
Thus. Kyle’s smile toward Carissa today was genuine. No matter what Salvador might be thinking, he would not take his brother’s wife
Kyle was not naive. Reflecting on Salvador’s maneuvers, it seemed clear that he had forced Rafael into
marrying Carissa so that Rafael would sacrifice his military power in the process.
Salvador had never truly intended to bring Canissa into the palace.
Whether Salvador regretted his decision or not was beyond Kylie’s concem. What mattered was that it was no longer possible
Kylie understood that even if Carissa had entered the palace, her position would not be shaken. However, the harem’s peace would have been disrupted, and scheming for favor would be inevitable. If the harem became ndded with schemes, even a virtuous and capable queen would struggle to maintain control.
As a wife, Kyle womed about Salvador’s genuine affection being directed at another woman.
The king could favor concubines, but not truly love them.
Kylie’s greater concern was the potential damage to her own reputation as a virtuous queen.
Kylie thus invited Carissa to view the orchids. As they walked outside, a group of attendants followed at a
Carissa replied with a smile, “That’s a misunderstanding. In reality, every place’s orchids are unique, each with its own beauty.”
Wrapped in her warm coat, Kyle chuckled. “Indeed, each has its own beauty. Life is truly remarkable. I initially thought we would be sisters, but unexpectedly, we became sisters–in–law. Regardless, there is a real connection between us.”
“There certainly is,” Carissa said, untroubled by the topic.
Everyone understood the situation, and there was no need to feign ignorance. After all, everything was settled, and avoiding honest conversations would only lead to misunderstandings and cause unhappiness.
As they reached the flowers, Kylie suddenly remarked. “Next year, Kiera will also be married. I’ve heard that she has some mutual understanding with my sixth brother, Logan, but Helen has her sights set on my fifth brother, Marcus. Carissa, I believe mutual affection is best. If there are too many schemes involved in the marriage, everyone will end up unhappy. Don’t you think?”
Carissa pondered for a moment, and understood Kylie’s implication.
She smiled, and said, “Your Majesty speaks the truth. However, I am merely Kiera’s sister–in–law. Her marriage is not something I can decide. I can, however, understand and support her feelings.”
Kylie felt a renewed admiration for Carissa. Speaking with her was effortless.
