Charter 153

Rafael’s amille Tøftered momentarily

Yes, Carissa viewed him and Salvador as brothers. But as long as she stayed out of the palace, Rafael could take his time to develop a relationship with her. He saluted respectfully, and took his leave.

Salvador cast a final glance at Rafael’s retreating figure. After al moment, he called out, “Derek!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Derek hurried in through the doors, bowing deeply.

Salvador instructed, “Deliver my edict. If Carissa does not replace a suitable match within three months, she will enter the palace as a

concubine.”

Derek lowered his gaze and replied, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Also, inform Rafael of my edict, but do not add any extra commentary,” Salvador added.

Derek responded, “Understood, Your Majesty. I will attend to immediately.”

“Go on then,” Salvador calmly said as he lowered his gaze.

No sooner had Derek left than a report came that Kylie had arrived.

Having a good idea of why she was here, Salvador said, “Let her in.”

Kylie entered with her attendant, Lydia, who carried a tray with a bowl of soup on it.

After a respectful bow, Kylie said gently, “I heard you had a bit too much to drink yesterday, so I personally made some soup for you today.”

After a pause, ste ventured, believe Carissa’s suggestion is quite good. Since I tave to younger sister from my own family, perhaps we could have my father adopt Carissa as his goddaughter…”

Savedor locked up his eyes as clear and piercing as ever. “What’s this? Just because you have no younger sister in your family, you want to adopt one? There are many women in the world. Why not choose someone else?

Hearing this Kylie realized he had not given up on the idea of taking Carissa as a concubine, and smiled gently. “I proposed this because I have a genuine affection for her. If you disapprove, then please deregard my suggestion, Your Majesty.”

Salvador did not respond. He merely lowered his head, and

continued reading through the documents.

After waiting for a while and hearing no further comments from him, Kylie stood up. “I shall not delay your work any longer, Your Majesty. I will take my leave.”

“Very well, you may go,” Salvador replied, not even lifting his head.

Kylie bowed and exited, her eyes betraying her disappointment.

Salvador’s demeanor towards her was always so detached. In public, they maintained an air of mutual respect, but in private, he seemed to show no interest in her. He was often impatient, and unwilling even to look at her when they spoke.

In the matters of the harem, she held the reins, and Salvador did not. intervene. Even if disputes arose among the concubines, whether they were excessive or malicious, he would not get involved.

Since marrying him, the only real task he had given her was to ask Carissa if she was willing to join the palace. It was clear Carissal held a special place in his heart. He genuinely cared for her..

Despite the many beautiful women in his harem, his heart remained unmoved. Yet he placed such importance on a woman who had left. her previous marriage, valuing her to the point where even she, as queen, was rebuffed when suggesting Carissa as an adopted sister.

Kylie’s mood soured further. Her own chances of conceiving were. slim, and while she had a legitimate son, Salvador’s concubines also. had children.

With her family backing her, her position remained unshakable, but how much did it matter if Salvador did not favor her? Would he see her in a new light if she fulfilled his wish and brought Carissa into the palace?

But if Carissa joined the harem and became his favored concubine, Kylie would be left in a most awkward position.

The thought of this only deepened her frustration.
