Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1441

Kylie laughed dismissively. "Mom, what are you saying? How could this have anything to do with His Majesty? He's busy with state affairs. Why would he bother with something like this? And what about Lord Wright? When did I try to get him killed?"

Irvin was Meredith's father-in-law, and Kylie had no intention of making an enemy of the Wright family.

Marjorie sighed deeply. "You're truly foolish. The Hell Monarch is away at war, and you're trying to arrange a secondary wife for him? People are still waiting for an explanation about why His Majesty kept Lady Carissa in the royal study after court for days and even visited her late at night. Now, this scandal breaks out. How can you expect people not to jump to conclusions?"

"They're just overthinking it and making wild guesses," Kylie replied.

Marjorie studied her daughter's dismissive expression and shook her head in disappointment.

"Forget all those details that form the bigger picture. When His Majesty frowns or speaks a single word, the court officials speculate endlessly. And it's not just at court. Within the harem, if the king gives you a certain look, wouldn't you try to figure out what it means?"

She paused, her voice growing stern as she continued, "Moreover, you've only just been released from house arrest. You should be reflecting on yourself and keeping a low profile. If something can be avoided, it should be.

"But instead, you're trying to be the center of attention, getting involved in something that offends people. Now, you've not only dragged Lady Carissa into this mess, you've also ruined the reputation of a young lady from the Xavier family. We don't know if His Majesty is aware yet, but if he finds out, do you think he'll easily forgive you?"

Listening to Marjorie's words, Kylie realized the gravity of the situation and felt a twinge of fear. However, she didn't want to show any weakness in front of her mother. Instead, she straightened her back and spoke with a sense of righteousness.

"Since you're here to speak about this matter today, I'll speak frankly. The whole point of this was to persuade Carissa to resign and leave—to calm the situation regarding His Majesty's late-night visit to Hell Monarch Estate.

"But she didn't even come to the palace. She outright rejected the idea in a very rude manner. It was as if she didn't take me seriously at all. I was only thinking of His Majesty's reputation and wanted to protect him from being talked about. I don't think I did anything wrong."

Marjorie's voice turned even harsher, scolding, "You wanted Lady Carissa to resign? Do you truly believe that would resolve anything? What kind of reasoning is that?"

"If she resigns, she won't be around His Majesty as much, and such situations won't happen again," Kylie said with a dismissive wave.

Marjorie frowned. "Not being around doesn't undo what's already happened. I don't understand your reasoning."
