Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 469

Yuvan's gaze remained indifferent as he turned the emerald ring on his thumb.

"That's not enough. Keep spreading the word that Rafael, the Hell Monarch, is defending the woman to show he's fit for the Supreme Court post he holds. Claim that he's daring to defy public opinion for personal gain, and emphasize that he's just a military man with no understanding of the law or public administration.

"Also, suggest that even the king is deceived by him. Because of Rafael's immense accomplishments and influence, the king is forced to give him some regard."

The subordinate asked, "Do you really believe he will order a reexamination, Your Highness?"

"Of course he will, if there are doubts." Yuvan smiled faintly, a cold, bloodthirsty glint in his eyes. "I understand him well. He is meticulous about human lives. Anyone who values life so seriously will be extremely cautious. With such significant doubts, if he doesn't call for a reexamination, he cannot reconcile with his own conscience."

"Understood. I will proceed as instructed." The subordinate saluted and exited swiftly, disappearing as he wrapped his cloak around him.

Yuvan's lips curled into a playful smile. "Rafael, I want to see your reputation ruined and make sure you never hold military authority again. I want the entire kingdom to understand that you pose a threat to the throne, and that the king fears you, which would further discredit him."

"Wayne!" he called out.

A middle-aged man in a gray cloak emerged from behind a partition screen depicting the landscape of a mountain scene.

He lowered his head in deference. "Yes, Your Highness!"

Yuvan inquired, "Is there any way to detect the parasitic toxin within the woman?"

Wayne's voice was grave, "It can't be detected. It's just a tiny threadworm hidden in her brain. Even if they cut off her head, they won't be able to detect it. The threadworm only responds to my commands, and for now, the woman won't show any unusual signs."

Yuvan nodded slightly. "Good."

"There's no need for concern, Your Highness. The governor of Brightmoor District is one of our own. Even if the case is sent back for reexamination, it will be presented to the capital as originally planned. The delay will only inflame public anger, which benefits us."

Yuvan's eyes were cold and venomous. "This plan has been in the works for a long time. There must be no mistakes. With Kiera's wedding in August, I will use the opportunity to return to the capital. Before then, Rafael's reputation must be thoroughly tarnished, and Salvador must be labeled as a foolish monarch."
