Carissa glanced at the list. “Alright.”
Just looking at the list put her in a melancholy mood. Her mother had given her such a substantial dowry, fearing she would suffer hardships in her husband’s home.
“My lady, where can we go? Are we returning to Northwatch Estate? Or should we go back to Meadow Ridge?” Lulu asked, looking distressed.
Images of the bloodstained estate and the tragic deaths of her family members flashed through Carissa’s mind, causing a sudden pang of pain in her heart.
“Anywhere is better than staying here.”
“If you leave, you’ll be giving them exactly what they want.”
“So be it. If I stay, I’ll spend my whole life suffering as I watch those two be affectionate. Lulu, I must live well to give my parents and brothers peace in the afterlife,” Carissa replied calmly.
“My lady!” Lulu wept bitterly.
She had been born and raised in Northwatch Estate. The massacre had claimed the lives of everyone, including her own family. The images still haunted her, and returning there seemed unthinkable.
“Is there no other way?” Lulu asked desperately.
Carissa’s eyes grew cold. “There is. I could confront the king and use my family’s achievements to force him to reverse his edict. If he refuses, I’ll kill myself in protest.”
Lulu was terrified and immediately protested, “My lady, you can’t!”
Carissa’s expression softened, and a sly smile appeared on her face. “Do you think I’m that foolish? If I manage to reach the king, I’ll only request an edict for an amicable divorce.”
Barrett was able to marry Aurora because of a royal edict. So, Carissa should also be issued an official edict to leave. She shouldn’t have to sneak away like she was being cast out.
The wealth from Northwatch Estate was more than enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life. She wouldn’t degrade herself unnecessarily.
Just then, someone called from outside, “Madam Carissa, the matriarch has requested your presence!”
