Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 459

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.

Terrified was right—Lulu couldn't help but report, "Gillian's still pacing around the courtyard."

Carissa laughed softly, pushing Rafael away and jumping down from the table. "Alright, go tell Gillian that Rafael has calmed down and that she should go back and inform Mother."

"Understood!" Lulu hesitated for a moment at the door. "We have hot water ready. If you need any further assistance, the servants are waiting outside."

Carissa pretended not to notice the teasing glint in Lulu's eyes. "No need for further assistance. You all should get some rest."

"Yes, Your Grace!" Lulu withdrew and instructed everyone to leave, skipping the usual dressing routine.

The servants left happily. Although everyone was full, there were still many snacks and dishes left in the kitchen.

Additionally, Jacob followed Carissa's instructions and rewarded the household staff. Although it was just a small reward, it added a touch of festive cheer.
