Chapter 1327

Carissa couldn’t bring herself to tell Rafael about Helen and Ryan moving into the palace–she feared it would upset him.

She received a letter from Rafael, which came along with the report of their victory in the second battle. Salvador had specifically summoned her to the palace to hand it over.
