PERSON_PROFILE

"Carissa, please marry me, I will only have you in my life and I will never take a concubine!"
At that time, the the Marquis' family of Northwatch was highly sought after. As the legitimate daughter of the Marquis' family, Carissa Sinclair had many suitors, but she was only touched by Barrett Warren's promise.She put away her literary talent and martial arts that were not inferior to men, and stayed in the backyard to serve her parents-in-law.
A year later, the entire Northwatch Estate was massacred, leaving her as the lone survivor to support the family, and the once affectionate man immediately turned around and was about to marry someone else...
--
"Carissa, you should just accept it, the king has issued a royal edict for this marriage. Aurora will be joining our household," said Barrett condescendingly., still wearing his slightly-worn battle armor.
Carissa Sinclair never expected that the first thing her newlywed husband, whom she had waited for a whole year, said to her was to take a concubine!
She opened her mouth but could only suppress the bitterness in her heart and asked dryly, "Do you still remember what you said to me before you left for war?"
On their wedding night a year ago, Barrett had left to lead reinforcements on an expedition.
Before leaving, he had lifted his wife’s veil and promised her, "Carrisa Sinclair, you're the only woman I'll ever love in my life. I will never take a concubine!"
Feeling awkward, Barrett turned away. "Forget what I said. When I married you, I didn’t understand love. I thought you were a suitable match for a wife until I met Rory."
Talking about the woman he loved, his eyes softened and filled with deep affection. He turned back to Carissa and added, "She’s unlike any woman I’ve ever met. I love her deeply. I hope you'll agree to this."
Carissa felt a lump in her throat.
Despite feeling a mix of disgust and unwillingness, she still asked, "What about your parents? Do they agree?"
"They do. It was a royal edict. Besides, Aurora is a general, and had earned military merits for her contribution to the war. She visited my mother a while ago."
They agreed? Hah... How ironic!
When she married into the general’s mansion, the whole Warren's family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to buy medicine for Barrett’s mother. If it weren't for Carissa, who spent a lot of money to bring in the best physician to treat Barrett’s mother and served her carefully, how could Barrett’s mother wait until her son's triumphant return?
And the other people in the mansion, didn't they all rely on her dowry to maintain their superficial glory?
"Is she currently in the mansion?" Carissa asked, lifting her brow, "Invite General Yates over. I have a few things to ask her."
"There's no need for that. Carissa, she’s different from any woman you know. She’s a general, and she's above the usual household squabbles. She wouldn’t want to meet you," Barrett refused instantly.
Carissa retorted, "What kind of women do I know? What kind of woman am I to you? Have you forgotten? I'm also the daughter of a noble family. My father and my six brothers died on the Southern Frontier three years ago-"
"That’s them," Barrett interrupted. "But you're a delicate woman suited for the comforts of home. Aurora has no respect for such women. She’s straightforward and unrestrained. If she meets you, she might say things you won’t like. Why put yourself through that?"
As Carissa looked up, the striking beauty mark under the corner of her eye became more evident in the light.
She calmly said, "It’s fine. If she says anything unpleasant, I’ll ignore it."
Barrett sighed in frustration. “Why put yourself through this? There was a royal edict for this marriage. Even when Aurora moves in, you’ll be in separate wings. She won’t compete with you for control of the household. She doesn’t care about those things.”
“Do you really think I’m attached to managing this household?” Carissa countered.
Running this mansion was no easy task. Just the monthly medicine for Barrett’s mother cost dozens of silver coins. Then, there was food, clothing, and social obligations—all these things required money.
The general’s family was practically a hollow shell. Over the past year, Carissa had used much of her dowry to keep things running. And this was her reward- no one was grateful for her kindness.
“Enough, I won’t argue with you. I just needed to inform you. Whether you agree or not changes nothing,” said Barrett, his patience wearing thin.
As Carissa watched him leave in a huff, she felt even more bitter.
“My lady, my lord was too much!” said Lulu, Carissa’s maid, wiping her tears away.
“Don’t call him that!” Carissa gave her a stern look. “We never consummated the marriage. He’s not your lord. Go fetch my dowry list.”
“Why the dowry list?” Lulu asked, puzzled.
Carissa tapped her on the forehead. “Silly girl, why would we stay in this house any longer?”
'If you are heartless, I will leave you. '
Carissa Sinclair has never been a person who would pester others. But before she leaves, she wants to get back all the money she spent on these ungrateful people over the years...
