In the side hall, Harvey seethed when he heard Carissa intended to take Leona away from Gracehold Estate, and that his daughter had chosen to divorce Samuel. He, Leona's father, was still present. So, when did it become Carissa's place to decide Leona's fate? Just as Harvey was about to furiously summon Carissa for questioning, Rafael arrived.

Jacob had gone to the Supreme Court to look for him. Once he finished explaining the overall situation, the prince had abandoned his duties and made his way to Gracehold Estate. Men weren't allowed in the inner courtyard, so Rafael headed straight to the side hall. As he reached the room, he heard Harvey angrily shout, "Who does she think she is? How dare she decide everything for Leona? Allowing a divorce destroys a marriage! Isn't she afraid of bringing misfortune upon herself? With me here, I'd like to see her try!" A flash of purple appeared in his line of sight as soon as Harvey finished speaking, and Rafael strode into the side hall. The prince surveyed the room with a cold glance, taking note of the men who stood up to pay their respects to him.

He ignored them, fixing his gaze on Harvey. "Uncle Harvey, you were talking about my wife, right? What has she done that's so damaging? Didn't she save Leona's life? Or was it her decision to have Leona divorce that beast of a husband who abandoned her for a mere concubine? How has she destroyed Leona's marriage?

"You've never been one to talk much, so you should keep your mouth shut. You've also never cared about managing affairs, so don't interfere in anything. Besides, you've never been afraid to suffer losses, so just keep doing that and don't refute anything I say." Harvey's face turned an alarming shade of red at his nephew's words. With the men of Gracehold Estate witnessing the entire scene, Harvey was unable to maintain even a shred of dignity.

Noah respected and feared the Hell Monarch. Ignoring everything else, he quickly invited Rafael to take a seat. They could sort things out later.

At the moment, it wasn't important whether Leona decided to divorce Samuel. What worried them was how the king and queen would react.

Moreover, given Samuel's current temperament, continuing his marriage with Leona would spark even more trouble. The Earl of Gracehold's family had narrowly escaped disaster this time, since Leona's life had been preserved. But what if it hadn't?
