Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 179

After Rafael left Evergreen Palace, he headed to Serenity Palace to pay respects to Victoria and seek her approval to marry Carissa,

Victoria was delighted.

"Child, you're silently accomplishing great deeds! Just two months. ago, your mom was expressing her worries about your marriage to me. Who would have thought you'd meet Cari on the battlefield and instantly hit it off? Cari is a good girl. You need to treat her well and cherish her."

"Mother, I will definitely treat her well," Rafael assured. "However, it seems my mom doesn't like Carissa much. She might summon Carissa to the palace in the next couple of days to give her a hard time." Victoria immediately understood that he was indirectly asking for her help. Her eyes softened with affection as she said kindly, "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, she won't suffer anything." Rafael knelt, and solemnly thanked her. "I'll leave everything to you, Mother."

Victoria gazed at him, a flicker of complex emotions in her eyes. However, she quickly returned to normal. She asked him about the battlefield, if he had been injured, and if his wounds had healed.

Rafael answered all her questions. Victoria insisted on having the royal physician check his health and prescribe some medicine to help him recover. The royal pharmacy had plenty of nourishing supplements, and Rafael left the palace with an armful of them.

Sometimes, he wondered whose son he truly was. Helen never asked him about these things.

After the celebration feast, when he was drunk and sent to

Evergreen Palace, his mother only shook him excitedly. She said that reclaiming the Southern Frontier was an unparalleled achievement, and that they would be remembered in history.

She never asked if he had suffered or been injured. She only cared about the outcome, not the process.
