Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 167

Chapter 167

Rafael had secluded himself, refusing visitors for several days. During this time, many would–be guests had come knocking. However, he was unwilling to see any of them.

The order was clear: Carissa must marry within three months, or she would have to enter the palace as a concubine. Salvador was forcing him to make a choice.

Whether Carissa entered the palace was of no real concern to Salvador. It was a matter of showcasing his power–whether to allow her to remain free or to summon her to the palace was just a matter of issuing an edict.

Years earlier, Salvador had known of Rafael’s feelings for Carissa. Before Rafael headed to the Southern Frontier battlefield, he had approached Melanie, asking her to delay Carissa’s marriage. He promised to present the victory in the Southern Frontier as a dowry.

Salvador was aware of this promise. Now that the conflict in the Southern Frontier was over, Salvador expected him to marry Carissa.
