"The ones who wiped out our family were spies from Westhaven. I didn't know you had snuck out that day, so I thought you also died in the massacre. Now, you're the only male heir of the Duke of Northwatch's family. You carry the hopes and legacy of your grandfather, uncles, father, and all the others. You must be as fearless and steadfast as they were." As Carissa spoke, she placed her hand gently on Ryan's shoulder, observing the tears streaming from his eyes. She continued solemnly, "As for me, I've divorced Barrett. We're no longer husband and wife, and from now on, we're strangers." Ryan wiped his tears away in shock, his eyes wide with disbelief.

If you're wondering why I'm marrying him, it all begins with the Southern Frontier conflict..." Carissa spoke with partial truths, veiling saspects and fabricating others.

The parts Carissa revealed were that the culprits behind the massacre were spies from Westhaven. It was a truth that could not be hidden from Ryan. He would inevitably learn it upon their return to the capital. What she concealed was about the events that took place at Victory Pass-Ryan was not ready for that information yet.

Carissa's eyes softened with genuine warmth as she spoke, as if truly discussing someone she cherished.

What your grandfather once achieved, he has also accomplished. He truly reclaimed our territory at the Southern Frontier. He's a hero, and he found you for me. I am very grateful to him, and... I have feelings for him." When Carissa mentioned having feelings for Rafael, her mind briefly flashed to the prince's cold, noble face. Her heart skipped a beat and her breathing becuneven.

She had intended to deceive Ryan into thinking she was marrying someone she loved, and that doing so would bring happiness. However, after uttering those words, she discovered an undefined, inexplicable emotion toward Rafael.

This was a new feeling for her-one she had never experienced with anyone before.

Ryan looked at his aunt, then pointed outside and back at her, as if asking whether Rafael liked her.

Carissa's cheeks flushed. Since she was in the midst of deception, she decided to continue it fully and whispered, "He does liketoo." Though Ryan's eyes were still wet with tears, a smile began to emerge on his face.
