Carissa looked up, her expression solemn. “Thank you for your leniency, Your Highness. As for my status and

whether | am worthy of the marshal, that is for him to decide. Either way, since he

proposed, | will marry him.”

“He’s simply momentarily confused! He will cto his senses eventually. You're a woman who was discarded

by the Warren family. He's only intrigued by you for now, but he will abandon your once the ty wears off. In

the end, you will be the one who suffers. I'm looking out for you. Why are you so ungrateful?” Helen argued

furiously.

divorced Barrett. I'm not a discarded woman-I requested the divorce edict. If anyone was discarded, it was him.

The Warren family had no say in it. Nevertheless, | appreciate your concern,” Carissa replied.

Still angry, Helen retorted, “Regardless of who left whom, you're still a woman who has married once. A virtuous

woman does not remarry. Since you chose to divorce, you should stay at hand not aim for higher status.

What you're doing now is tarnishing the reputation of women.”

“Men can divorce and remarry, even take multiple wives and concubines. Why can’t women remarry? As for

tarnishing the reputation of women, many women seeas a role model. Even the king said at the celebration

feast that women of the realm should emulate me,” Carissa said calmly, maintaining her composure.

Helen scoffed. “You're sharp-tongued and argumentative. If all women were like you, the world would be in

chaos. Women should adhere to their expected roles and behavior-obedience to their father before marriage,

obedience to their husband after marriage,

and obedience to their son after the husband’s death. They should. also have proper virtue, speech, appearance,

and skills.

“And you? You think that just because you have smilitary achievements, you're a role model for women?

What about those who can’t go to the battlefield? Are they supposed to be doomed?”

That argument sounded familiar to Carissa. She remembered asking Aurora a similar question.

Carissa calmly countered, “Being a role model doesn’t mean all women need to go to the battlefield. The king's

praise was not just for my military accomplishments, but also my indomitable spirit.

“As for the expected roles and behavior for women... As you mentioned earlier, Your Highness, a woman should

obey her father at home, her husband after marriage, and her son if widowed. In that case, shouldn't you now

follow the marshal’s wishes?”

“How dare you criticize the late king?” Helen slammed her hand on the armrest, her voice filled with anger.

Carissa raised her hands in surrender. “I mean no disrespect to the late king. He was a wise and enlightened

ruler whom | deeply respected. How could | dare to speak ill of him?”

Helen spoke coldly, “It seems you've used your alluring appearance and sharp tongue to deceive my son. You

speak of grand principles, but your heart is full of petty schemes. | know exactly what you're up

1. to.

“The Duke of Northwatch’s family is in decline. And you, an orphaned girl and a discarded woman, are the only

one left. You aim to join the royal family to make those who once looked down on and insulted you see you

differently, to be jealous of you.

“Perhaps you even want to use the status of a princess consort to take revenge on them.”

Carissa’s smile didn’t reach her eyes. “Your Highness, you're overthinking this. If | wanted revenge, | wouldn't

need to rely on anyone.”

Helen recalled the display of Carissa’s strength earlier and hesitated. The stubborn girl was indeed beyond her

control.

Due to Carissa’s military achievements, physically dragging her out. and punishing her was out of the question.

The intended slap was merely meant to establish authority, to make her realize the

difficulties ahead and make her retreat.
