Rafael's stubbornness flared up again. He gently pushed his mother aside, then grabbed Carissa by the wrist.
"I just heard you mention getting me a concubine. Come with me. I'll deal with you in our room."
With that, he dragged Carissa out of the room.
Helen was stunned, unable to comprehend what was happening.
Wasn't it just a casual mention? Her son was truly out of his mind!
"Gillian, go and check on them immediately!" Helen said urgently. "We can't have him hurting her. How am I going to explain this to my sister? She dotes on Carissa the most!"
Gillian sighed. "How can I go? You wanted to arrange concubines for Prince Rafael yourself after listening to Grand Princess Eleanor and Lady Dakota. If I go now, it might only provoke His Highness further. Lady Carissa seems resilient enough…"
"Nonsense! Which husband beats their wife after marrying her? If you don't go, I will!"
Gillian tried to stop her. "Alright, I'll go get Mr. York. His Highness listens to him the most."
"Quickly!" Helen slammed the table in frustration.
The thought of Carissa's beautiful face getting hurt—oh, how painful it was just to imagine!
As Rafael dragged Carissa out of Helen's courtyard, he suddenly lifted her in his arms. Carissa let out a scream, which was loud enough to make Helen feel dizzy.
Oh god, had Rafael really hit Carissa?!
Helen pushed Gillian urgently. "Why are you still here? Hurry!"
Gillian hobbled outside, but they were already gone. Of course, she had to wander around the courtyard a bit to see if she could find them.
Alas, Helen didn't realize Rafael's intentions.

I’m losing interest in this story because of the lack of pages....
You used to upload many pages at a time before, why only 1 per day now?...
