Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1188

On the 15th of December, Salvador went to Everspring Palace.

With red-rimmed eyes, Kylie began to speak of Jocelyn's expulsion from Gracewood Women's Academy. Having already reprimanded the Quinton family over this matter, Salvador was displeased to hear Kylie bring it up again. Yet, he remained silent, not giving voice to his frustration. Sharp in her observations, Kylie noticed his irritation and quickly changed the subject, saying, "It seems the noble ladies and wives of the capital are all praising Carissa, calling her the ideal example for women."

Salvador gave her a half-smile, his eyes narrowed as he replied, "I find it strange that these noble women are praising someone else and not the kingdom's queen. After all, you are the mother of the nation, and before our marriage, you were widely regarded as a woman of great talent. You should be the one they hold up as the standard."

Kylie couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or a subtle rebuke. She wasn't sure if he was mocking her or genuinely voicing discontent. It was becoming increasingly difficult for her to understand Salvador's true feelings.

She gave a forced smile and offered him a cup of coffee, hesitating before speaking again.

"The Hell Monarch's princess consort truly is popular now. She's managed to establish both Gracewood Women's Academy and Skye Embroidery, and all the people who once criticized her are now singing her praises. And with the Hell Monarch gaining Your Majesty's favor, I wonder if this is truly a good thing," she said.

Salvador furrowed his brow for a moment, but said nothing in response.

Seeing the slight tension in his expression, Kylie's heart eased just a little. It was clear that, despite everything, Salvador still feared their influence.

Rafael and Carissa had long received widespread praise, winning the admiration of officials and the acclaim of the common people. How could the king not feel threatened? The couple was recklessly expanding their influence, showing no regard for the king, and in the end, they were bound to reap the consequences of their actions.
