Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 727

In the side hall, Derek was enjoying the refreshments, sipping a cup of coffee. When he saw Carissa enter, he smiled warmly and rose to greet her.

“No need for formalities, Mr. Walker. Please, take a seat.” Carissa urged, gently pushing down Derek’s hand.

She knew Derek had helped her and her mom significantly over the years, often in ways she couldn’t openly acknowledge. Today seemed like the perfect opportunity to express her gratitude.

Once Derek sat down, Carissa bowed her head slightly. “I know you’ve done a lot for my mother and I over the years, Mr. Walker. After I married Raf, I can only imagine how much you’ve spoken on his behalf in front of the king. I truly thank you for that.”

Derek smiled kindly at her. “Your gratitude is too much for me to bear, Your Grace. Please sit down. I want. to talk with you for a moment.”

Carissa took a seat, her expression warm and inviting “Please go ahead.”

“It’s about this position you’ve taken on,” Derek said, his demeanor gradually turning serious as he met her gaze. “You must do your utmost best. Since His Majesty trusts you and is using you, he will definitely give you his full trust.

“But remember this, Your Grace–no matter what happens, you and His Highness must never let your hearts drift apart. You must trust each other as long as it doesn’t involve betrayal. Always communicate openly, and never allow disputes to arise from interests or power. Remember, you are one as a couple.”
