Chapter 149 

After drinking some water and waiting for the alcohol to wear off, Derek accompanied Salvador to the royal chapel. 

Derek asked cautiously, “Your Majesty, you don’t really intend to take Lady Sinclair as a concubine, do you?” 

Salvador gave him a sidelong glance. “Do you think I would actually steal a woman from my own brother? Even if I did have such thoughts, my mother wouldn’t agree. She and Melanie were as close. as sisters. How could she allow Carissa to become a concubine?” 

Derek chuckled. “I knew it. You were just trying to push them a little, Your Majesty. How could you bear to confine Lady Sinclair within the palace walls?” 

As he spoke, he stole a glance at Salvador. Though Derek was smiling, there was a hint of worry in his expression. 

Salvador sighed. 

“When Hector died in battle, Rafael went to Northwatch Estate before going to the Southern Frontier battlefield as ordered. He asked Melanie to wait for him, promising to propose to Carissa once. he reclaimed the Southern Frontier. But Melanie married Carissa to Barrett. I couldn’t bear to tell him at first, fearing it would distract him on the battlefield. Even then, Andy sent him a letter. He must have been devastated.” 

Salvador rubbed his forehead, and paused. 

“Who could have predicted that things would turn out this way? Barrett didn’t truly care for her. No sooner had he returned with military merits that he asked me for a marriage edict.

“Your Majesty, you must be happy today since you drank so much. That’s why you’re dozy. Arguing wouldn’t make you like this,” Derek said as he supported Salvador. 

Behind them, the royal guards followed while palace attendants lit the way with lantems, guiding them toward the royal chapel. 

Before Carissa reached Northwatch Estate, she could already see Frederick leading everyone to wait at the gates from a distance.
