Chapter 884

The announcement would be made after the New Year festivities, which meant that either a new leader for the Crown Guard would be appointed or Barrett would not be allowed to observe mourning for his mom.

After Carissa left, Salvador examined Barrett's mourning application once more before tossing it back onto the desk.

He turned to Derek and asked, "What do you think? Should Barrett be allowed to observe mourning?"

Derek bowed respectfully. "Your Majesty, this is a matter of selecting officials. I dare not offer my opinion."

"Although it's a matter of appointing officials, this is about someone serving directly under me in the Crown Guard. Speak freely."

Derek thought for a moment before shaking his head. "I don't know, Your Majesty."

Salvador's eyes sharpened, his gaze growing cold. "Is it that you don't know, or that you don't dare say?'

Derek had served Salvador for many years and understood his temperament well. If it were any other official, one whose position could be easily filled or replaced, the mourning application would have been settled long ago, without requiring further discussion with Carissa.
