Frederick, having managed the outer household for many years and being well-acquainted with the intricacies of
court life, quickly
assessed the situation.
“My lady, one thing is certain: the king likely does
actually want
you to enter the palace. Otherwise, he could have simply issued an edict making you a concubine. You wouldn't
have had any choice but to comply.”
“I know that,” Carissa replied, a hint of frustration lacing her voice.” But he’s giventhree months to find a
suitor, almost as if he’s pressuringinto marriage. What does my single status have to do with him? I've
reviewed the royal edict concerning my father’s
posthumous title multiple times. While other details are
insignificant, what stands out is that if | marry, my husband could inherit a title. Does he want someone to inherit
my father’s title through marriage?”
Frederick considered this, and said, “I recall the edict mentioning the possibility of selecting suitable relatives
from collateral branches to be trained, with the potential for them to inherit titles in the future.
“Could it be that the king does not wish for members of the Sinclair family to inherit the title? Does he have a
specific candidate in mind? If he expects you to marry within three months, could it be that he has already
chosen a suitor for you?”
Carissa pondered this, her fingers absently turning the string of rosary beads her mother had left her, trying to

A man who would take on his wife's family name?
If it were a matter of bringing a single individual into the family, that would be manageable. After all, a man who
married into his wife's family wouldn't cwith a whole household.
As for the issue of concubines, the reason Melanie had chosen Barrett in the past was precisely because he had
promised not to take any concubines.
However, in the capital, among the prominent families, which man didn’t take concubines? Even ordinary people,
who lacked the means to afford concubines, might seek companionship in brothels.
Carissa had no expectations for marriage and little resistance to it. It was her mother’s dying wish for her to
marry, have children, and live a stable life.
So, when Rafael asked about her plans, she mentioned that her mother didn’t want her to follow a military path.
Whether this was a true reflection of Carissa’s feelings or not, it didn’t really matter. She once had ambitions,
fiery dreams, and pursuits-but now, she had none. Life felt as stagnant as still water, and it didn’t bother her.
