Her Majestic Battle Cry 727
Chapter 727
In the side hall, Derek was enjoying the refreshments, sipping a cup of coffee. When he saw Carissa enter, he
smiled warmly and rose to greet her.
“No need for formalities, Mr. Walker. Please, take a seat.” Carissa urged, gently pushing down Derek’s hand.
She knew Derek had helped her and her mom significantly over the years, often in ways she couldn't openly
acknowledge. Today seemed like the perfect opportunity to express her gratitude.
Once Derek sat down, Carissa bowed her head slightly. “I know you've done a lot for my mother and | over the
years, Mr. Walker. After | married Raf, | can only imagine how much you've spoken on his behalf in front of the
king. I truly thank you for that.”
Derek smiled kindly at her. “Your gratitude is too much forto bear, Your Grace. Please sit down. | want. to talk
with you for a moment.”
Carissa took a seat, her expression warm and inviting “Please go ahead.”
“It's about this position you've taken on,” Derek said, his demeanor gradually turning serious as he met her

full trust.
“But remember this, Your Grace-no matter what happens, you and His Highness must never let your hearts drift
apart. You must trust each other as long as it doesn’t involve betrayal. Always communicate openly, and never
allow disputes to arise from interests or power. Remember, you are one as a couple.”
Carissa pondered his words.
How deep was Salvador’s trust in her? It was clear he couldn’t possibly trust her entirely. Even shared interests
between people wouldn't guarantee absolute trust. Moreover, Salvador was inherently suspicious. It was already
generous of him to grant any level of trust.
As for being united as a couple, Carissa understood that all too well. She and Rafael were married. Even if they
shared similar goals, they would inevitably have different perspectives on certain matters, which would lead to
conflicts or disagreements.
As the commander of the Mystic Army, she had to follow Salvador’s orders. That meant that regardless of the
situation, she was expected to be loyal to the throne above all else.
Since conflicts were inevitable, trust between husband and wife beceven more crucial.
Yet, Carissa couldn't shake the feeling that there was another layer to Derek's words. His insistence on their
unity as a couple made her wonder if Salvador intended to use her position as commander to stir up discord
between her and Rafael.
For now, she brushed off the concern. She hadn't entered the fray yet, so there was no need to worry too much.
As Adrian often said, “Where there's a will, there's a way.”
If conflicts did arise, she and Rafael could resolve them through communication. There was no reason to hesitate
over something that hadn't happened yet.
“With your reminder, | know how to proceed, Mr. Walker. You don’t need to say more. | understand

everything.” Carissa assured.
Derek looked at her and sighed inwardly. What a smart and earnest girl she was! She could have probed deeper,
but she knew he was in a difficult position. She might think that asking too much would only burden him.
But... did she truly understand the implications of his words?

Carissa met his eyes with a clear gaze and added, “You don’t need to worry. | know how to strike a balance. I'll
remain loyal in my duties. | won't allow anything to drive a wedge between Raf and me.”
When Derek heard this, he realized she genuinely understood his message and felt relieved.
He stood. “There's not much more | can say. Just make sure to share what we discussed today with His Highness
later.”
“Of course | will. Thank you, Mr. Walker.”
Derek waved his hand. “I'll take my leave now that my tasks here are done.”
“Ill see you out.
Carissa walked with him to the door, where a few royal guards waited outside. As Jacob had been reuniting with
his sister, Carissa had personally cout to handle giving smonetary gifts to the royal guards.
However, knowing he wasn’t motivated by that, she didn’t offer any rewards to Derek. She would remember his
preferences and send him sgifts later on.
