Chapter 187
Victoria regarded her son for a while before speaking, “Your father had someone in his heart as well-Melanie. But
because he saw Hector as a brother, whenever Melanie attended an event or visited the palace, your father
would make himself scarce.
“That was his way of showing the utmost respect to Hector. In fact, Melanie never knew of your father’s feelings,
even after she passed.”
Salvador’s expression froze momentarily, his smile slowly fading to be replaced by a serious demeanor.
“Mother, | understand your point.”
After a moment of silence, he asked, “Didn't you mind? You still treat Carissa so well.”
Victoria smiled gently, her expression serene. “Why would | mind? Aren’t there many women in the palace
already? Besides, | married him to be the crown princess, the queen, and now the queen
dowager. If | were to expect true affection from the king, would that not be unreasonable?
“As for your father, he was aware of his position. A king's
responsibilities are to govern diligently, care for the people, protect the country, reclaim lost territories, and
eradicate corruption to ensure peace and prosperity. He never forgot his duties.
“Perhaps he didn’t always achieve the desired outcomes, but he did. his best. The king's power is supreme, yet
he has only two eyes and two hands. Many tasks must be delegated to others, all of whom have their own
agendas. How could your father control everyone, especially with the rise of powerful families and corruption
after his illness, which made your ascension difficult?”
Victoria's words carried a weight of earnestness as she continued, You face many challenges ahead. You need

The gravity of Victoria's words left Salvador deep in thought.
After a long pause, he lifted his head, his gaze resolute. ‘Rest assured, Mother. | know what to do.
Victoria picked up a fan and waved it a few times. “It’s truly hot today. | need to summon an official from the
Astrology Department to inquire about the best dates this year. You go ahead with your _tasks.”
“Yes, | will take my leave.” Salvador stood and nodded respectfully before exiting.
As Carissa left the palace, she saw Rafael’s carriage waiting outside.
She approached swiftly, her expression serious. “Marshal, | need to discuss something with you.”
Rafael, dressed in splendid robes and standing tall, replied, “Get in the carriage.”
Carissa hesitated for a moment before turning to Lulu. “You should return to the estate first. The marshal will
takehome.”
Though Lulu felt that Carissa and Rafael sharing a carriage alone was somewhat improper, given their
forthcoming marriage, she said nothing more and gracefully boarded the Sinclair family’s carriage.
Rafael’s royal carriage was spacious and luxurious. Inside, the space remained ample and impeccably clean, with
a faint scent of orchids.

seen.
In the carriage, Carissa recounted Salvador’s questions from earlier. Expecting Rafael to be serious, she was
surprised to see him smile.
“Oh? Is that how you responded?” Rafael asked, his lips curving upward.
“Did | answer incorrectly?” Carissa was puzzled by his reaction.
Rafael's eyes, deep and enigmatic
like the ocean, remained fixed on her
face. “No, there wasnothing wrdhy
