Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1418

Chapter 1419

As soon as Carissa left, Salvador's smile vanished. He barely sipped his soup before dismissing Grace and Caden. Grace said nothing. She simply instructed the servants to clear the dishes, took Caden's hand, and curtsied gracefully before taking her leave.

Once the hall was silent, Derek closed the door and turned toward the king. "Your Majesty, it's not yet time for the next council meeting. Why don't you rest for a short while?"

In the past, Salvador had always taken a brief respite during the noon hours. But ever since summoning Carissa for these conversations, he hadn't rested at all.

Salvador massaged his temples and sighed. "Very well. My head's starting to ache."

"Should I summon the royal physician to examine you?" Derek offered.

"There's no need. Those useless quacks at the Royal Medical Department have yet to cure a simple

headache, though I've taken more than my share of their remedies."

Salvador stood and made his way into the inner chamber, lying down fully clothed. The ache in his head only seemed to worsen.

Derek tucked the blankets around him, but Salvador suddenly opened his eyes, a faint daze in his expression.

"What's wrong with me lately?"

"You're simply burdened by concerns over the war, Your Majesty," Derek reassured. "You're mentally and physically exhausted. A period of rest will do you good."

Salvador didn't seem to hear him, lost in his own thoughts. "Has Carissa ever asked why I keep summoning her to speak with me?"

"She has, Your Majesty."
