Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 1479

Kylie had never been humiliated like that before. Even when Salvador was furious with her, it had only ever resulted in a few sharp reprimands or perhaps a temporary house arrest.

"Who does he think he is? How dare he come here and behave like that in front of me?" she fumed, her face flushed with anger.

"I've been concerned about his heirs because of his military service. And this is how he repays me? Thinking I have nothing better to do than meddle in his affairs? If he doesn't want a secondary wife, there are plenty of men who would be happy to have her."

Her head throbbed with the pressure of her indignation. She had never encountered someone so ungrateful.

Lydia could only watch in bewilderment as the queen seethed.

Wasn't the original plan to use finding a secondary wife for the Hell Monarch as an excuse to summon Carissa to the palace and pressure her into compliance? How did it suddenly turn into the queen genuinely caring about the royal family's heirs?

Lydia thought Kylie was making excuses out of anger, but such excuses seemed unnecessary and only served to agitate herself.

"You need not be so upset, Your Majesty. You weren't really trying to help him find a secondary wife, were you?" Lydia ventured cautiously.

Kylie shot her a sharp look, her frustration growing. "Regardless of my personal feelings, I at least pretended to care for his sake. And what does he do? He doesn't appreciate it and shows no respect. He dared to speak so disrespectfully in front of me! His insolence is unforgivable. And you—what nonsense are you speaking now? Do you think everyone can treat me like this?"

Lydia immediately fell silent, realizing that any further words might make the situation worse. But deep down, she was worried. Kylie always dreamed of achieving great things. But if she couldn't even handle a small setback, how would she ever succeed?

The plan to manipulate Carissa had failed, but that didn't mean it was the end. There were always other ways.

The more Kylie thought about it, the more furious she grew.

"He clearly doesn't respect me. If he doesn't, then he certainly doesn't respect His Majesty either. You'll go see Connor tonight, won't you? When you do, make sure to offer your greetings to the queen dowager on my behalf as well. And tell her what happened. The queen dowager is a woman of great sense and will not tolerate such disrespect."

Lydia nodded, agreeing to pass on the message when she made her evening visit to Serenity Palace. When she relayed the story to Victoria, the latter barely reacted.

Without lifting her gaze, she coolly said, "Our queen is certainly an interesting one. His Majesty wants to see the Hell Monarch's line end, but Her Majesty, with her great benevolence, seems more concerned about her brother-in-law's heirs than her own son. How very thoughtful of her. She truly is an admirable sister-in-law."
