When Rafael returned from work, Carissa updated him on the matter.

After removing his cloak and handing it to a servant, Rafael sat down and sipped on a cup of coffee. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Logan is a typical wealthy young man-fond of pleasure and indulgence. He and Kiera do seem to share...similar interests."

"In a few days, I expect the Quinton family will come to finalize the betrothal. My suggestion is to follow the usual marriage customs. I've spoken with Kiera, and she enjoys these traditional ceremonies," said Carissa.

"Have her marriage arranged according to her preferences. I'm her brother. I've faced countless dangers on the battlefield, and it's all been to ensure that she and my mother can live freely as they please." He took Carissa's hand and guided her to sit beside him, his eyes gentle.

"Originally, I wanted to say that to you, but it seems I don't really have the right to. Your father's and brothers' military achievements, and your own, should be more than enough to secure a comfortable life for you."

Carissa smiled. "The words you speak bring me happiness."

His eyes shifted with emotion. "Really? Then, let me be honest with you. When I first went to the Southern Frontier, my sole intention was to reclaim the region and then return to marry you."

He gently pulled her onto his lap. Seeing this, the servants immediately took their leave.

Carissa rested her head on his shoulder. "You've achieved your wish."

"And you?" His voice carried a hint of anxiety. "By marrying me, have you fulfilled your wish?"
