After Lily finished speaking, a maid entered with a bowl of steaming chicken noodle soup. Carissa had been hungry moments before, but now, seeing the hot soup, she suddenly lost her appetite.
"You should eat. Your mother, watching from above, would be very happy to see you marrying Prince Rafael today. I promise you that," Lily said gently.
Carissa's tears fell into the broth as she held the bowl of soup.
Choking up, she said, "This phoenix crown is so heavy... It's causing me such pain in my neck that I feel like crying."
Trying to hold back her own tears, Lily wiped Carissa's tears away but understood that a new bride could cry if she wished.
"Silly girl, finish your soup, then we'll remove the crown, change your clothes, and help you take a bath. Tonight, there's much celebration outside. Prince Rafael probably won't return to the suite until after midnight."
Carissa took a few spoonfuls of the soup, her sobs softening. "Where's the dagger he sent? Didn't Mom give him a token in return?"
"The dagger was in the duke's armory in Northwatch Estate," Lily said with a smile. "I brought it along and will show it to you tomorrow. Your mother did give him a token in return as well."
Lily's smile widened. "She gave him a handkerchief, saying it was one you had embroidered yourself."
Carissa looked up in surprise. "Huh? That handkerchief was the token of engagement?"
She had thought it was something given to him when she was a child.
"Yes."
"But there were so many things that could have been given. Why choose that handkerchief?"
Carissa's appetite was completely gone.

I wish there were more chapters uploaded daily. Atleast 10 per day....
When will the next chapter be uploaded? This story is so awesome!...
I’ve read several novels, but this is the best of the best....
I hope that Rafael will not fall for Carmen. I don’t think I can keep reading if he does. Carissa deserves to have a pure and strong love with Rafael that world stand the test of time and all trials and tribulations....
