Chapter 261

There were many things Rafael couldn't say, so he took his leave.

Carissa pondered for a long time. Some things seemed to make sense now, but there were still parts she couldn't quite grasp.

Lily noticed her distress and hesitated, wanting to approach her. However, Frederick stopped her.

He shook his head at Lily and said, "Prepare some food for Lord Ryan. He's been practicing his writing for a long time, and must be tired."

Lily glanced at Frederick, and sighed softly. "Alright."

She turned and went to the kitchen, while Frederick, limping slightly, followed her. Once in the kitchen, he lowered his voice, "I know you want to talk to Lady Sinclair, but don't say anything now. Wait until after the wedding."

Lily nodded. "I understand. I just saw she was troubled and acted on impulse. I know better than to act rashly"

She sighed again. "I only learned today that Prince Rafael gave up his military power. When I think about everything that's happened, it's clear he did it for our mistress's sake. The king used our mistress as bait to trap His Highness."

Frederick cautioned, "It's enough that we know this in our hearts. Don't let it slip out."

"Of course, such things can't be spoken of carelessly. But His Highness's feelings for our mistress-she doesn't know at all. Even when he proposed marriage, the late madam didn't allow her to be told." Frederick's expression darkened. "At that time, the late madam was frightened. If His Highness hadn't gone to the Southern Frontier, she might have agreed. But who could have predicted, after all that careful consideration, she would choose someone as unreliable as Barrett."

our mistress was too wild for those strict, rule-bound households. And have you ever seen a noble family where the heir doesn't take concubines? Barrett was the only one brave enough to kneel before the late madam and promise never to take a concubine. The late madam was deceived in a moment of weakness."
