Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 877

Next came the evening banquet. Yuvan arrived with Molly and Fiona. After greeting Victoria and Kylie, he exchanged pleasantries with the other nobles.

From Harvey's side, only Heather came. She mentioned that Harvey had caught a chill in December and hadn't fully recovered yet. Victoria expressed her concern and ordered some precious herbs to be sent for his recovery.

At the lavish banquet, Rafael sat beside Carissa. He picked out the dishes she loved, while willingly accepting the ones she disliked and pushed aside.

Seeing this, Kylie suddenly smiled and said, "The prince and his princess consort are truly affectionate."

Kendrick and Adelaide looked up, thinking she was referring to them, but soon realized Kylie was speaking about Rafael and Carissa. They exchanged glances.

Salvador cast a cursory glance their way but said nothing. However, when he raised his glass, he shot a cold look at Kylie.

Carissa sensed a hint of jealousy in the queen and remarked, "With such a deep bond between His and Her Majesties, it's only natural for us to follow suit."

Kylie smiled faintly and remained silent. The burden she carried was hers alone to bear. The affection between Salvador and her was merely for show, while he truly favored Sylvia.

If Salvador had treated her even half as well as he did Sylvia, Kylie wouldn't have felt the need to pressure her son so much. The issue of succession was supposed to be straightforward, but with Salvador's favoritism toward Sylvia, there was always the risk of him fathering another son.

If that happened, how could Kylia not strategize for her child?

Lost in her tumultuous thoughts, she suddenly noticed a palace maid approaching with a cup of medicine for Sylvia.

The maid softly said, "Your Grace, it's time to drink your prenatal tonic."

Kylie's head spun at the news, her eyes flashing with sharp light, but she quickly masked her reaction with a feigned smile. "Sylvia, you're pregnant? Why didn't anyone inform me of such wonderful news?"

Sylvia's face was delicate, and there was a hint of radiance now that she was pregnant. She looked up with a smile and said, "I didn't inform you earlier as the pregnancy was unstable, Your Majesty. Please forgive me."

Kylie chuckled. "What's there to forgive? This is joyous news! You're contributing to the royal line. I should reward you instead."
