Chapter 180 The next day, Carissa entered the palace with Lulu.

She first went to pay respects to Victoria. Victoria happily took her hand, and asked about her relationship with Rafael.

Carissa had prepared her explanation well. She recounted how she and Rafael had fallen for each other on the battlefield, and that he had proposed upon returning to the capital. Grateful for his regard, she had accepted. Victoria knew the real story, but chose not to mention Salvador's three-month ultimatum. She merely smiled and said it was all a matter of fate, divinely ordained.

After chatting for the length of about half an hour, Victoria mentioned summoning Helen.

Understanding Victoria's good intentions, Carissa shook her head. Lady Helen has already summonedto Evergreen Palace. If I rely on your favor and defy her, she will only resentmore once I marry into the family. You may protectthis time, but you won't always be able to shieldin the future." Victoria gazed at her. "You're always so understanding and considerate. It makes my heart ache. My younger sister has been spoiled by my maternal family and me. Her temperament is difficult. Once she moves in with you, she might make your life hard. Let's see what she says today. If she's too harsh, I'll have a word with her." Carissa smiled warmly. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. With your protection, I won't suffer any hardship." Victoria returned her warm smile. "Go on, then. I'll send someone to check on you later." "Yes, Your Majesty." Carissa curtsied, and left.

At noon, under the scorching sun, Carissa and Lulu followed the attendant, who led them through the garden. The attendant from Evergreen Palace had been waiting outside for them.

There were shaded corridors they could have taken, but the attendant led them through the hottest parts of the garden, taking a long, winding route. They even retraced their steps a couple of times, making the journey unnecessarily long.

Carissa felt fine, being a martial artist. Lulu, on the other hand, struggled with the heat. She was sweating profusely, ner head spinning and aching. She felt nauseous, and was on the verge of a heatstroke. Carissa had anticipated that their visit to the palace today wouldn't be simple, so she brought along the medicines Sebastian had given her.

Seeing Lulu's discomfort, she took out a Verdant Pill-a pill often used for digestive issues and to relieve summer heat-and gave it to her. Then, Carissa fanned her to help cool her down..

Noticing that the attendant looked on the verge of fainting, Carissa smiled. "Sir, I have a Verdant Pill here. Would you like to take one?" Because of Helen's instructions, the attendant had led Carissa under the scorching sun. After half an hour, he was already struggling, his lips turning pale. Hearing Carissa's offer and seeing no one else around, he lowered his eyes and whispered, "Thank you for the medicine, my lady." The attendant was a low-ranking servant from Evergreen Palace. Carissa was clearly aware he was making things difficult for her on orders. Yet, she still offered him medicine.

He took the offered pill, and swallowed it. The taste was unpleasant, 415 BEARS but it spread a cooling sensation through him, dispelling the oppressive heat.

In the palace, low-ranking attendants and maids were the most despised and often ignored. To be cared for even a little brought an unusual warmth to his heart.

He quickly glanced at Carissa and said, "Please follow me, my lady."

This time, the attendant led her along the shaded corridors, avoiding the harsh sunlight, and headed towards En: Evergreen Palace. Upon reaching the entrance of Evergreen Palace, the attendant ran inside to announce their arrival.

Shortly after, an older palace maid cout, scrutinizing Garissa She asked indifferently, "Are you Lady Sinclair?" "Yes, I am," Carissa replied, curtsying. "Greetings."

The palace maid maintained her Sneed indifferent tone. "No need for such formalities my fady. Please follow E me. Lady Helen is expecting you." Carissa followed the maid into the palace, ready to face whatever lay ahead.
