Chapter 908
In the capital, ire received a message via pigeon from Victory Pass. Without reading it, she immediately passed it to Violet, who would be able to take it directly to Carissa.
Understanding the gravity of the message, Violet opened it without hesitation. After reading it, she immediately mounted her horse and rode straight to the Capital Guard headquarters. During this time, Carissa should be there.
It waspletely normal for Violet toe and go from the Capital Guard headquarters. She was now a special martial arts instructor, and Salvador, knowing her exceptional skills and that she had no interest in bing an official, had deemed her the best person to train the Mystic Army in martial arts.
Though the Crown Guard had be independent, martial arts training still fell under the jurisdiction of the Capital Guard headquarters, which was why they came to Violet.
Upon reading the message, Carissa let out a heavy sigh. This was thest thing that should have happened.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
On a smaller scale, one could say that Dn spoke out of turn and said something careless. A reprimand or perhaps twentyshes would be enough to resolve it.
But on arger scale, this was a disaster. The words could be interpreted as the Victory Pass generals collectively agreeing that Salvador was to me for the massacre at Fawnrun City.
Salvador had always focused on the aplishments he had made after his ascension. Redrawing the borderline at Victory Pass was considered one of his greatest achievements, as was the remation of the Southern Frontier.
But if someone were to say that the ughter of Fawnrun City civilians was his responsibility, he would not hesitate to execute many just to prove to the world that he had been furious about the massacre.
Moreover, the king shouldn''t be held responsible for the matter at all.
"What do we do now? Jacob and Kyle aren''t in the estate, and His Highness is at the Supreme Court. I had no choice but toe to you,'' Violet said.
She knew all too well how dangerous those words were. Not only the current king, but even the previous king, who was usually more forgiving, would find it impossible to tolerate such an usation.
After all, Salvador had sent reinforcements to Victory Pass, and those troops had been dispatched under Dominic''s orders. If Salvador were to take responsibility for this, would that mean every failure on the battlefield would also be his fault?
If anyone were to take the me, it would be Barrett, without question.
Carissa held onto the note, then lit amp to burn it. Nothing could leak out before Kevin returned to the capital.
Carissa collected herself and spoke with calm precision, "Ask Lord Edwin for help. When Kevin gets back to the capital, stop him. See if Lord Edwin can convince him. If Lord Edwin can get him to hold off on reporting, it will be fine. But if Lord Edwin can''t persuade him, General Dn''s life will be in danger, and my grandpa will have one more crime to answer for."
"Are you going, or should His Highness go?" Violet asked, agreeing with the n.
Edwin would likely help out given his ties to Lawrence, but the real question was whether he could persuade Kevin. Carissa paused for a moment.
"Whether Lord Edwin can convince Kevin is still uncertain," she said. "If he can''t, those words will eventually reach His Majesty. But recently, every time Raf and I visit any noble house, someone has been reporting to the king. When Kevin returns to report, the king will know that we knew about it in advance."
"You''re right. Being cautious in everything is never wrong," Violet replied thoughtfully.
She had be much more groundedtely, learning to pay attention to details. As Jacob often said, sometimes
it was the smallest details that determined sess or failure.
"So, who should we send? We can''t let others know about this."
Carissa thought for a moment before deciding, "Sebastian."
Lawrence still needed to recover from his illness. Sebastian had saved his life, so ever since his return to the capital, Sebastian had continued treating him.
Though Lawrence had been granted the title of Earl of Dunewind, he still lived at Elderglen Estate. If they informed Lawrence about the situation, he would not sit idly by.
"I''ll go to Arcane Sanctum to get my wrist treated. It''s sore from all the sparring I''ve been doingtely," Violet said decisively.
With that, she was already on her way.
That night, Sebastian arrived at Elderglen Estate with his medical kit. When Edwin and Lawrence heard the news, their expressions immediately darkened.
Lawrence was the first to respond, "Dad, we can''t let Kevin report this to the king."
Edwin not only understood the importance of returning favors, but he also knew that Dominic had been unfairly wronged in this case. If those words reached Salvador, it would be a death sentence without question.
"Don''t worry," Edwin said, his voice low but firm.
It was only two words, but they carried the weight of a thousand decisions.
Sebastian bowed his head in gratitude. "I am deeply grateful."
He knew this wasn''t easy for Edwin. If Edwin couldn''t stop Kevin, the Marquis of Elderglen''s family would be dragged into the mess as well once Kevin reported it to the king.
