Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247

Jeremiah wiped away his tears. “It’s good that he’s alive. That’s the most important part.”

Then, he stood and bowed deeply. “I’ve lost my composure, Your Majesty. Please excuse me.”

“I was also close to losing my composure, Jeremiah. Who wouldn’t be moved by

such news?” Salvador said with a broad smile.

He then recalled something, and quickly ordered, “Derek, go to the Klein family’s residence or look for the Marquis of Highcrest at the Royal Citadel. Inform him of this matter so he and his family can share in the joy.”

Derek, who had been dabbing at his eyes, immediately replied, “Understood, Your Majesty. I’ll go right away.”

With a heart full of genuine happiness, Derek left. The survival of the Duke of Northwatch’s family brought him true joy. Melanie had treated him with kindness, and he was more eager than anyone to see her family prosper.

As Jeremiah watched Derek leave, he was filled with a myriad of thoughts. Despite having a pile of official duties awaiting him, he was reluctant to return to his office so

soon.

“Your Majesty, the Victory Pass battle remains a disgrace for our kingdom. This matter has been kept secret, and Westhaven is unwilling to disclose it. However, with Westhaven’s crown prince dead and the struggle for succession beginning, factions within Westhaven might seek to revive this issue to gain public support. Should we not prepare a countermeasure?”

Salvador pondered for a moment before responding, “This issue is like a sword hanging over our heads. We know little about Westhaven’s situation, and can’t control the outcome. As for our response, haven’t we already made arrangements?

“For now, we won’t deal with Aurora. We’ll pretend the court is unaware of her actions in this matter. If the matter comes to light, we’ll arrest Aurora and send her to Westhaven for them to handle. That would at least be a form of resolution.”

Otherwise, why would Salvador spare Aurora’s life? He had long desired to see her suffer a thousand deaths!

Jeremiah considered this, and saw no better option.
