Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 6

Salvador remembered the Sinclair family. Knowing that Carissa was now the only one left stirred a feeling of pity in him. 

“Rise and speak,” he commanded. 

Carissa bowed deeply with her hands clasped. “Your Majesty, I know it’s presumptuous of me to seek an audience today. But I also wish to implore for your grace.” 

“I have already issued the edict. It’s impossible to revoke it,” Salvador said. 

Carissa shook her head gently. “Your Majesty, I implore you to issue another edict. I want to divorce General Warren.” 

The young king was taken aback. “What? You want a divorce?” 

Salvador thought she had come to ask him to rescind the marriage edict. He never expected a plea for a divorce. 

Holding back tears, Carissa pleaded, “Your Majesty, General Warren and General Yates sought the marriage edict with their military achievements. 

“Today is the death anniversary of my father and brothers. I wish to seek an edict to divorce my husband based on my late family’s military merits. Please, Your Majesty, I’m begging you.” 

“Carissa, do you know what you’ll face after the divorce?” Salvador asked, a complicated expression on his face. 

Carissa hadn’t heard Salvador call her by name in a long time. 

When he was still the crown prince, he used to occasionally visit Northwatch Estate. He would always find some interesting little gifts to give her when he did. After Carissa later went to Meadow Ridge to study under her master, they never saw each other again. 

“I do,” she affirmed. 

There was a hint of a smile on Carissa’s stunning face. But no matter how one looked at it, the smile seemed tinged with irony. 

“I’m sure you know the saying that a true gentleman appreciates and helps others to fulfill their aspirations, right? Even though I’m not a gentleman, I don’t want to hinder General Warren and General Yates from being together,” Carissa added. 

“Carissa, there’s no one left at Northwatch Estate. Are you really going to go back there? Have you thought about your future?” Salvador asked. 

“I returned to the estate today to visit my family’s memorial plaques. Seeing how the estate has fallen into disrepair made me want to live there again. I’ll adopt a son for my father’s sake, so there will still be someone to honor his memory,” Carissa explained. 

Salvador had thought she was being impulsive; he hadn’t expected her to be so considerate.
