Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1451 Inside Everspring Palace, the underfloor heating kept the room warm. Carissa had already been sitting for some time after removing her cloak. She had been waiting quietly after arriving, having been informed by the servants that Kylie had gone to change her clothes.

At that moment, Kylie was in her private chambers, eating royal jelly soup. When Lydia kept insisting that she hurry to see Carissa, the queen looked slightly impatient.

"What harm is there in letting her wait a bit longer?" she quipped.

"Your Majesty, you've always said we should avoid offending her. Now that she's come here, why not explain things clearly? We can resolve the misunderstandings and everything will be fine," Lydia replied. Kylie paused for a moment, her expression hardening.

"I used to think that too. But you heard what His Majesty just said he told me that whether Carissa hits me or scolds me, I'm to bear it. He doesn't treat me like the queen. He only wants the person close to his heart to vent her anger," she said bitterly, pushing her bowl of royal jelly soup aside.

Tears welled up in her eyes. "Has he lost his mind? Or does he truly have feelings for Carissa?"

Lydia gently tried to comfort her, saying, "Your Majesty, the king said that because he knows Lady Carissa wouldn't dare raise a hand to you. He was just frustrated and spoke in anger. Don't take it to heart." "Who isn't frustrated?" Kylie dabbed at her tears with a handkerchief. "Am I not frustrated? What great crime have I committed that warrants being punished time and again? My rights in the harem are gone, and I'm not allowed to care for Connor. And now, I have to endure the anger of a woman like her. What's the point of holding this position if I am to be so humiliated?"

Lydia sighed deeply, her tone urgent as she added, "Your Majesty, you must not act on impulse. If you don't clear the air with Lady Carissa, Lady Grace will take this opportunity to sway her to her side. You don't know what happened earlier. While we were coming here, Prince Caden stopped her, gave her a sugar figurine, and called her a great hero. Lady Carissa was overjoyed.'

"Grace?" Kylie scoffed. "That clown? With her background, what right does she have to compete with me?"
