Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 45

In the study, Salvador gazed at Carissa, who was kneeling on the white marble floor.

She wore a plain white dress cinched at the waist, with a blue cloak draped over her shoulders. Unlike her previous visits, her hair was tied up in a high ponytail with a simple white silk ribbon, not styled in the elaborate manner of a married woman.

Her complexion was pale, and there was a faint redness under her eyes as well as a hint of dark circles. She looked as if she hadn't slept all night. There were also remnants of tears on her eyelashes. Despite all that, she still looked stunning. Her eyes seemed sorrowful, yet lacked any hint of vulnerability. Instead, they harbored a sense of strength and determination.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Carissa said hoarsely.

After Lulu went to bed last night, Carissa had cried under her covers for a long time.

"Have you been crying?" Salvador frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in his eyes. "Is it about Barrett and Aurora's wedding?"

Carissa shook her head.

Before she could speak, Salvador continued, "You sought the divorce edict yourself. Since the divorce is final, their marriage is no longer your concern. Why worry over past matters? If you can't let go, you shouldn't have asked me for the divorce in the first place."

Salvador's voice sounded gentle, but there was a hint of annoyance.
