Chapter 248 Jeremiah felt a multitude of emotions as he took on the task of searching for a wife for Barrett.

He remembered how Barrett and Aurora's marriage was once celebrated with great fanfare, full of glory and anticipation. Many in the court had high hopes for them. Even the common people sang praises of their love, feeling sympathy and admiration for Aurora, who, despite her remarkable achievements, was willing to accept the status of a secondary wife, Barrett was also praised. Even though he was deeply in love with Aurora, he didn't forget his rightful wife and managed to secure Aurora's position as a secondary wife. The victory at Victory Pass had clouded everyone's judgment, leading to wild celebrations and a loss of reason.

However, as the excitement faded, people began to see the dirt hidden beneath the beautiful facade of their stories. It eventually cto light that Barrett's primary wife was even more outstanding than Aurora. People started to recall the Duke of Northwatch's family's great contributions and the tragedy that had befallen them. Yet, Carissa never received fair treatment in public opinion. She was surrounded by various controversies. For instance, when accusations of her being negligent toward her parents arose, people seemed to forget her significant contributions at the Southern Frontier battlefield. They buzzed around her like flies, only for the Astrology Department's minister to clarify the situation later.

Back then, Aurora was able to remain in the military. In contrast, Carissa held a nominal position as the deputy commander of the Mystic Army, which didn't require her to actively serve.

It was clear Salvador had no intention of granting Carissa an actual command position.

Jeremiah understood that Salvador had many considerations, but among them was a genuine regard for the Duke of Northwatch, which was enough for him. Carissa had originally been what remained of the Duke of Northwatch's family, but now that Ryan had been found, the Duke of Northwatch's title had a successor. However, the family members were still sparse, and Salvador was reluctant to risk further lives from the Sinclair family.

With this intention, other matters could be left aside, as if they did not exist.

4 Derek arrived at the Klein family's residence, Highcrest Estate, but didn't announce the news immediately, as Anthony was not yet back at the residence. Instead, he simply said he would wait for Anthony's return.

This caused salarm among the Klein family members.

Derek smiled and reassured them, "There's no need to worry. It's good news, but we must wait for the Marquis of Highcrest to return to discuss it. By the way, does the residence have a physician?" Anthony's wife, Sophia, replied, "We do have a physician in the residence. The matriarch has been ill for a long tand can't be without a doctor." Derek instructed Sophia, "In that case, Madam Klein should take a Heartshield Pill." Sophia and her mother-in-law, Diana, were alarmed by this suggestion. With the men still on duty and away from the residence, it was left to the female members of the household to make decisions, which wasn't ideal given the circumstances.

Diana was Yvette's mother, and she had been in poor health since the deaths of her son-in-law and daughter. The news made her heart race, and she felt she might need a Heartshield Pill herself. Sophia first sent for the household physician and then dispatched someone to call the men of the house back. Derek was someone who rarely cwithout important reasons, so the gravity of the situation was clear, Sophia was torn between her anxiety and anticipation. Though it was good news, the need for a physician hinted at something serious, leaving her both worried and hopeful.

Derek refrained from explaining immediately. Given Ingrid's fragile health, he feared that the excitement of the good news might trigger a heart attack. He wanted to ensure that the male members of the Klein family were present before revealing the details.

Initially planning to visit the Royal Citadel, he reconsidered due to the number of people there. Discussing the matter in such a crowded place, especially with Ryan still not back in the capital, could complicate things.

As for whether the Klein family should share the news with outsiders, that was their concern.

In less than an hour, the men of the Klein family returned to the residence ina hurty with Anthony being the last to arrive.

The eldest man of the Klein family was Anthony's father. His nwas Edward Klein, who was known for his calm demeanor and held a position at the National Academy, and he was visibly anxious. "Mr. Walker, please tell us, is there an edict from the king?"

Seeing that most of the Klein family members had returned, at least those from the main branch Berek sald, "His Majesty received a word from Prince Rafael in Eldoria. There is sgood news, so His Majesty sentto convey this news to everyone here first." X
