Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 494

"Your Majesty, what is Septimus' true identity?" Rafael asked.

When Rafael received Septimus' intelligence from Louis, he had investigated all the military commanders and captured soldiers, only to find that none of them were named Septimus Tetra.

Salvador shook his head. "I don't know. It's likely that no one knows. Your late father-in-law received the initial intelligence. Perhaps he knew his identity, or perhaps even he didn't know. Since Septimus was able to escape from the enemy camp, it indicates that his martial arts skills are quite impressive, and that he is no ordinary soldier."

Rafael frowned.

When he received the intelligence from Septimus, he hadn't inquired about his identity. Moreover, even if he had asked, Septimus' identity would likely not have been disclosed to avoid compromising the intelligence. It was too risky.

"Your Majesty, he has provided a lot of valuable intelligence and has done our kingdom a great service. We must rescue him," Rafael said.

Salvador nodded, his gaze solemn. "So, I need you to go in person. One thing we know for certain is that he's still alive. Sandoria intends to use him to negotiate for a city in exchange. According to Timothy's report, Septimus is imprisoned in a dungeon at Sandoria's border city. However, the exact location is still unknown. Your task is to locate where he is being held, then find an opportunity to rescue him."

Rafael knelt on one knee, his gaze resolute. "I understand and accept your command, Your Majesty."

Salvador sighed. "For now, Oliver is dragging out the negotiations. Sandoria's resentment towards Septimus is deep, so he is likely to suffer. In any case, whether he is dead or alive, bring him back. We need to know who he really is."

"Understood. I will depart for Sandoria's border city tomorrow. I will leave the Supreme Court matters to Matthew for now," Rafael replied.

"Be careful. Bring along several skilled fighters and disguise yourselves as civilians to gather information. If you can't rescue him, do not be reckless, understood?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Salvador added, "Also, Patrick has gone to Brightmoor District to investigate the case of the family that was annihilated. We now have some clues about the true culprits, so you need not worry about that matter. Don't let it distract you."

Rafael nodded slightly.
