Rebecca forced a smile. “How can I decide that after meeting her only once? But since the king has arranged the marriage, it’s a done deal. In the future, she and Barrett will earn military merits together, while you manage the household and enjoy the benefits of their hard work. Isn’t that nice?”

“Yes, I’m sure,” Carissa replied with a smile. “But it’s quite unfair to make General Yates a concubine.”

Rebecca laughed. “You silly child, how could she be a concubine? The king’s edict makes her Barrett’s legal wife. Also, she’s a military officer who holds an official rank.
