Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 147

Chapter 147

Liam was indeed admirable. But if Westhaven’s second prince seized the throne and discovered the truth behind the crown prince’s death, he might not hesitate to send troops to Victory Pass again. The man was a warmonger, and Liam couldn’t restrain him.

After discussing these frustrating matters, the conversation shifted to Carissa and her friends. Salvador was quite pleased, and praised Carissa highly.

Looking at Rafael, Salvador said, “I have already spoken with the queen about bringing Carissa into the palace as a concubine.”

Rafael was still worried about the succession struggle in Westhaven, so he nodded absentmindedly. “Good… Wait, what?”

He sprang to his feet, instantly sober despite all the alcohol he had consumed. His eyes widened in shock as he stared at Salvador.

“Salvador, did you say you want Carissa to enter the palace as a concubine?”

“Why are you so agitated?” Salvador gave him a sideways glance. She has now achieved military merit and is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Northwatch. She manages the entire duke’s estate. In time, her father’s generals will obey her commands. Women can sometimes be easily swayed. If someone tries to manipulate her, she might act in ways that hurt her father’s reputation for loyalty and integrity. Bringing her into the palace is the best option.”

Rafael was visibly agitated, and his voice shook as he said, “I never expected you to be so worried about that, Salvador. This is her first time on the battlefield. For the next two or three years, there will be no wars in the kingdom. Why are you so apprehensive?”

“Preparing for a rainy day is always better than mending the fold after the sheep are lost.”
