Melody of Strength novel

Carissa chuckled softly.

Still, she needed to be clear about a few things. She instructed

Violet to find Kiera, brought her back, and had the girl seated in a chair

“Have you seen him?” she asked.

Kiera’s eyes shimmered with a glint of excitement. “Yes, he came to the palace to pay respects to the queen, and I saw him then,”

“What do you like about him? Carissa asked

Tm not sure I just liked him when baw him,” Kiera replied.

Carissa wasn’t familiar with Logan appearance, but a first impression that sparked immediate affection often indicated love at first sight, which usually related closely to one’s appearance

“Well, then should we have someone inquire into this?”

“I can’t make that decision. It’s up to Mom and you.” Kiera said, her lips curving upwards despite herself “But, I don’t mind. Go ahead and inquire

A princess marriage wasn’t something that required extensive inquiry. If she had her heart set on someone, it would simply be a matter of issuing a royal edict

However, Carissa wanted to understand Logan’s own wishes. If he was only marrying out of obligation to the royal family, then life after the marriage for the couple would likely be quite unhappy

Canssa was aware of Kylie’s thoughts on the matter The Quinton family had many outstanding members, and if any of them were to

marry a princess, Logan, who seemed the least impressive among the family, was the most suitable choice. This would prevent the other promising members of the Quinton family from having their talents wasted

However, Helen wasn’t entirely pleased. She agreed that a marriage alliance with the Quinton family was beneficial, but she preferred Marcus instead of Logan.

Moreover, Logan was not particularly talented. His academic

performance was mediocre, and he spent his time tinkering with this and that seeming to be of lide use

When Carissa came to consult her, Helen was silent for a long moment. “Could we consider Marcus instead?”

“Kiera likes Logan.”

“So what if she likes him? Infatuation is a fleeting feeling. Once they live together discontent might set in. It’s important to choose a consort who is truly remarkable.”

“A consort may hold a nominal position, but he won’t be able to be a high–ranking official What matters is that he and Kiera are genuinely in love.”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Helen remained uncomfortable with the situation. “Look at bow well the Quinton family’s daughters have fared with the princes. They’re from the main branch of the family

Carissa’s tone was indifferent. “What makes the Quinton family’s daughters so much better than me? If we re to compare, how can Kendrick be compared to my husband? With my husband around, which concubine could surpass you? Don’t you think comparing yourself to them diminishes your own status?

It was a single remark that jolted one out of the Jaydreams.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Helen suddenly stood up, her face flushed with excitement. “Yes, you’re absolutely right. Who can compare to my son? Among all the late king’s sons, who, besides the current king himself, can match up to Rafael? Why should I compare myself to them? I’ve always been the winner.”

Carissa sat back comfortably, waiting for Helen’s excitement to subside. “In that case, I will send someone to inquire about Logan’s

intentions.”

“Is it really necessary to ask? Just have my elder sister bestow the marriage,” Helen said.

“We’ll inquire,” Carissa insisted.

Helen raised her hand dismissively. “No need. Asking him is already showing him too much respect.”

Carissa’s expression hardened. “We’ll inquire!”

This insistence really did make her feel a sense of superiority.

Helen quickly relented, “Well… Alright, then.”

Carissa thought of Natalie, and immediately set out with a formal letter of request.

Natalie, who enjoyed playing the matchmaker, was delighted, especially given how charming and beautiful Kiera was. She agreed immediately, and told Carissa to wait for good news.

The next day, Natalie visited. With a beaming smile, she said to Carissa, “Logan is indeed interested in Princess Kiera. As soon as his mother asked him, he eagerly agreed.”
