Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1175

Kylie smiled.

“Mother, you remembering her name is truly a blessing for her. My cousin is indeed of age this year, just 15 and a half. My aunt has been arranging a marriage for her and has come to me for help.”

Victoria nodded. “So I’ve heard. Your aunt favors the third son of the Marquis of Glandale. I sent someone to inquire about him–he’s talented, of good character, and would make an excellent match. They are of a similar age, and it seems quite suitable.”

Kylie’s face instantly darkened. Under Victoria’s sharp gaze, she felt as if her every thought had been laid bare. Still, she tried to salvage the situation, fumbling for words.

“Marriage is a significant matter, and it shouldn’t be rushed. It’s important that my cousin herself finds the match agreeable.”

Victoria nodded thoughtfully. “That’s true. So, I won’t bestow a marriage edict upon her just yet. She should choose for herself. If she truly approves, she can come to me for a favor. On your behalf, I would be willing to issue an edict then.”

Kylie’s expression tightened with frustration. Wasn’t this an obvious refusal to allow her to arrange the marriage?

Who had leaked the information? It had only been yesterday that her people had visited the Farrell family, and today that she had called Alice to the palace. Kylie hadn’t even had a chance to speak to Alice about it, and Victoria had already called her to be rebuked.

“There’s nothing else to discuss. Just go back and tell your aunt that she should wait for your cousin’s wishes. After all, marriage is not something parents should force upon their children.

Victoria dismissed her with a wave.

Kylie rose and bowed. “I’m grateful for your concern, Mother. I will take my leave now.”

Lydia also bowed and stepped forward to help Kylie with her cloak. Both women left the palace.

Violet stepped out from behind the partition screen. They
