Chapter 154

Just as Carissa reached Northwatch Estate, Derek came personally to deliver Salvador's edict.

Carissa was stunned. If she couldn't find a suitable husband in three months, she would have to enter the palace?

She quickly asked Derek to stay, and dismissed everyone else. "Mr. Walker, can you tell me what exactly His Majesty means?"

If Salvador was determined to have her enter the palace, there was no need to give her three months to find a suit. With the edict out, no one would dare to marry her. It seemed like another form of coercion, leaving her with no option but to enter the palace.

However, if he had used his authority and still granted these three months...

There was something odd about this edict.

Derek pondered momentarily, and said, "Perhaps His Majesty thinks that if someone dares to propose to you within these three months and challenge his will, he would believe that person truly cares for you." "But why is the king so concerned with my marriage?"

"Didn't you say it yourself? Since you consider His Majesty as an older brother, it's only natural for him to plan a marriage for his sister," Derek replied.
