Chapter 152
As Carissa left Evergreen Palace, she bumped into Rafael.
He looked as though he was still suffering from a hangover, his complexion pale and unwell. He was still dressed
in the battle-worn uniform he had worn upon returning to the capital the previous day, stained with blood and
dirt.
The familiar scent of sweat from him lingered in the air as he leaned. against the red palace gate. His messy hair
had been straightened out, and he now wore a gold crown. It seemed out of place with the battered uniform,
making his appearance quite peculiar.
He cast a lazy glance her way, and the sunlight shone on his dark eyes, which did little to liven his demeanor.
Carissa stepped forward, and greeted him respectfully. “Your Highness, did you stay overnight in the palace?”
“Yes, | did.” Rafael nodded, giving her a cursory look. “You look quite elegant. You resemble a noble lady from the
capital.”
Carissa smiled. “I am a noble lady from the capital.”
He looked taken aback for a moment, then nodded absently. “Why did the queen summon you to the palace?”
Carissa raised an eyebrow. “How did you know it was the queen. who summoned me?”
How did Rafael know?
Rafael rubbed his temples, appearing somewhat distracted. “Oh, just a wild guess. You met the empress
dowager last night. | figured you were summoned to pay your respects to the queen.”

his gaze directly.
Has the king mentioned to you that he wishes to takeas a concubine?”
it was more straightforward to ask Rafael directly than to beat around the bush.
Rafael’s eyes widened, and he met her gaze. “Did you agree?”

Carissa was both amused and exasperated. “How could | agree? | have always regarded the king as an older
brother. How could | possibly bechis concubine?”
Rafael’s eyes brightened slightly, but before he could respond, she continued, “When | was younger, you and the
king frequently visited my hto see my brothers. Naturally, | viewed you both as brothers. Though our
statuses have changed, the affection I felt for you two as siblings has never waned in my heart.”
Rafael looked momentarily stunned. “Older brothers?”
Hoping that Rafael would relay her sentiments to the king, Carissa nodded. “Yes, I've always regarded both the
king and you as older brothers.”

Rafael scrutinized her beautiful face, unwilling matter. “Do you consider the king your brother, or do you see me
as a brother as well?”
“Both of you, of course,” Carissa replied.
She felt she had made her feelings clear to both Kylie and Rafael, so surely Salvador would understand her
intentions.
Then, she said, “I won't trouble you any further. | shall take my leave.”
Rafael watched her depart with a complicated expression.
An older brother?
To hell with it-who would want to be her brother?

He thought about Carissa’s words, and turned back toward the palace. Perhaps she was hoping to use his
presence to convey her rejection to Salvador directly.
After Salvador finished discussing state affairs, Rafael snuck back into the study.

Salvador was intrigued by Rafael’s smug expression, and asked with interest, “And what did she say?”
Rafael grinned brightly. “She said that she considers both you andas older brothers, and that it would be
inappropriate for a sister to marry her brothers.”
Salvador burst into laughter. “So, you and | are both her brothers?”
If so, what was there for Rafael to be so smug about?
