Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244

Once the boy had fallen into a deep sleep, Carissa went to find Rafael and showed him the note Ryan had written.

The prince’s expression was complex as he read the note. Did he resemble those thugs who had beaten Ryan? Perhaps so. After years on the battlefield, he had developed a certain harshness.

Rafael sighed deeply. “We’ll take it slow. I’ll try to be more gentle.and smile at him. more often.”

Ryan needed healing, both physically and emotionally.

“You’ve worked hard throughout this journey,” Carissa said.

Her gratitude towards Rafael was beyond mere words. However, there was something she needed to clarify.

She removed a hairpin from her hair and used it to adjust the wick of a lantern. The small flame flickered, casting a warm light over her gaunt face and pale lips.

She spoke softly, “Given Ryan’s condition, he’ll need me for at least two or three more years. If our marriage is to proceed, I’ll need to bring him to your estate with me. I can’t leave him alone at Northwatch Estate.”

Rafael’s handsome face remained calm, his dark eyes reflecting the lantern’s light

with a reassuring gleam.

“Our marriage will proceed as planned. I agree that Ryan shouldn’t be left alone at Northwatch Estate. He’ll need to be with us, to be cared for, detoxified of the drug, and have his leg treated. Once he’s better, he can continue his studies or go for martial arts training. Or if he doesn’t want to do either, that’s also fine. We can still take care of him. Regardless of what he chooses, I’ll treat him as my own child.”

His words eased Carissa’s worries. Considering everything that had happened, she realized that Rafael was genuinely dedicated to her. Even if their marriage lacked romance, they could at least maintain mutual respect.

However, she needed to find a way for Ryan to lower his defenses and accept Rafael. Otherwise, how would they coexist under the same roof in the future? *
