Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 151

Once Kylie had settled into her seat, Carissa and Lulu approached and knelt respectfully.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Kylie's gentle voice drifted down from above, "Lady Sinclair, there is no need for such formality. Please rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Carissa and Lulu stood, but remained in their place.

Kylie assessed Carissa. She had seen this woman before, and even then, Carissa's beauty had been striking. Now, having returned from the battlefield, her complexion had changed, but she was still undeniably a breathtaking beauty, capable of withstanding the scrutiny of any observer.

Kylie thought about Salvador's instruction to inquire whether Carissa would be willing to enter the palace. The thought made her stomach churn with unease.

A capable and stunning woman like Carissa might become the king's favored concubine if she entered the palace. Though she would never surpass the queen in rank, winning Salvador's heart could render Kylie's position precarious.

Yet, Kylie had always been known for her grace and virtue. As someone in a higher position, she couldn't afford to display any hint of jealousy.

Thus, she merely offered a few words of praise, acknowledging Carissa's contributions to the Southern Frontier, before adding with a hint of significance, "General Warren failed to recognize your worth, Lady Sinclair. And so, a pearl that should have been precious is now being unfairly devalued due to its past."
