Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 649

Harvey lowered his gaze and showed no trace of anger, yet the veins in his hands resting on the armrest bulged slightly. "You're right."

"Don't worry about Leona anymore. Your daughter's loyalty clearly lies elsewhere. She would rather follow Carissa than return to your estate with you. Honestly, she's no great loss," Eleanor went on.

Harvey remained silent, but frustration gradually clouded his eyes.

When Yuvan saw this, he quickly changed the topic. "Well, the matter of the Earl of Gracehold's family is settled. The king won't employ officials who are disrespectful to their families, so their good days are over. I came here today regarding Aurora. I sent assassins after her, but Carissa got in the way. She cost me some of my best men."

"It won't be easy to kill Aurora now, Yuvan. The king has dispatched the Capital Guard to watch over Valor Estate. They're in civilian clothing, but I've looked into it, and they're definitely from the Capital Guard," Harvey replied. "Also, Aurora is cunning. She never steps outside Valor Estate."

"What about bribing someone in Valor Estate to poison her?" Yuvan asked.

"I've tried, but it was useless. She only has one servant by her side, and doesn't need anyone else. Plus, she tests all her food with silver needles. There's no way for us to infiltrate Blessed Haven."

Yuvan chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "See, Harvey? It seems your efforts are less effective than Eleanor's. The assassination didn't work, and poisoning was also a bust. Looks like you're at a loss at handling Aurora, huh?"

Though Yuvan spoke with a smile and a light tone, Harvey understood the underlying dissatisfaction the older man felt.

"I'll come up with something else," Harvey assured.
