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. Officials can’t be concubines. She’ll be a legal wife like you. There won’t be any distinction between ranks for the two of you.”

“No distinction? Is there such a custom in our kingdom?” Carissa asked.

Rebecca’s expression grew a bit colder. “Carissa, you’ve always been sensible. Now that you’ve married into our family, you should prioritize us. According to the Defense Minister, Aurora’s contributions in this battle were greater than Barrett’s. With you managing the household, they’ll be able to work together as husband and wife and focus on their military service. In the future, they’ll surely become famous generals like his grandfather.”
