Chapter 1060

Before today, Carissa had never paid much attention to the question of who would succeed

the throne.

First, Salvador was still young; it seemed unlikely that he would appoint a crown prince so

soon.

Second, the royal family already had a legitimate eldest son, which was rare. Even in noble families, it wasn’t uncommon for a legitimate son to be born after a concubine’s child. There were many women in the king’s harem, and it was always possible for a lesser concubine to bear the first son.

In many noble families, it was customary that before the primary wife entered the household, no other concubines were allowed to bear children. Even during the nights of intimacy, a special medicine was consumed to prevent conception. If a woman were to accidentally become pregnant, a medicinal abortion was a common solution.

However, the royal family was different. Any child born to a concubine, boy or girl, was still considered part of the royal bloodline.

One of Salvador’s concubines, Penelope, who had conceived before Kylie, had once made Kylie anxious. She had feared that Penelope might give birth to the eldest prince. In the end, Penelope bore a princess, and Kylie was relieved.

Carissa had heard these stories from her mother, but she had never really given them much thought since then.

She had assumed that as the king’s legitimate eldest son, Connor would be carefully nurtured and trained. What she hadn’t anticipated was that he would grow up with such a character.
