Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 568

Helen had just left when Salvador arrived. After paying his respects to the queen dowager, Victoria handed him the carrier pigeon note.

"Carissa left the city last night and specifically instructed your aunt to deliver this note to the palace for you."

Salvador glanced at it and smiled. "If she left in the middle of the night, it must be something important. There's no need to inform me of every detail."

Victoria replied, "She's a woman carrying a deputy commander's emblem. That she left the capital in the middle of the night, it is only right that she informs you."

Salvador nodded, his face showing subtle concern. "I hope Lawrence will return safely."

It was a surprise to discover that Septimus was Lawrence. The Marquis of Elderglen's family was indeed a family of military nobility. Even though many of the younger generations had turned to civilian roles in recent years, there were always a few who carried on the family's legacy of honor and resilience.

Victoria watched him, wanting to say something, but ultimately keeping her words to herself. Some things, once spoken, could only deepen her son's suspicions.

Oliver's report arrived at the prime minister's office, stating that the Hell Monarch had disappeared after reaching Simonton City.

Jeremiah had reviewed the report, and pushed it aside. He knew very well that Rafael's purpose in Simonton City was not for negotiations, but to rescue Septimus.

Several days later, another report from Oliver arrived. Jeremiah read it with great excitement, and immediately went to request an audience with Salvador.

Salvador read the report and was overjoyed. "Eleven people—it was actually eleven people! And they have all safely returned to Simonton City!"

Jeremiah's voice choked with emotion. "Yes, thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, they all made it back to Simonton City."

Salvador was thrilled, and issued an order at once. "Bestow them rewards! Make sure they're given substantial rewards! Derek, summon the Minister of Protocol and his deputies to prepare a ceremony to welcome the heroes back. Also, the Civil Minister…"

As Salvador was giving the orders, he suddenly paused and looked at the list. "Joshua and Benson—these two are Richard's sons."

Jeremiah replied, "Your Majesty, we should inform each family to share in the joy. The eleven men won't be returning to the capital immediately. Lawrence's injuries are severe, and may delay their return."
