Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 650

After Harvey finished speaking, Yuvan fell into deep thought for a moment.

"But it's ultimately better for her to die. That way, all the blame will fall on the Sullivan family. Aurora is cunning and fears death. With her being so despised, I fear the common folk would find her words hard to believe. Also, the Sullivan family has guarded Victory Pass for so many years without ever harming a single civilian. If someone were to spin that narrative to clear their name, it could very well absolve them of any wrongdoing," Yuvan said.

Harvey replied, "But our goal isn't to wipe out the Sullivan family. We only need them out of Victory Pass so we can place our people to guard it. Oliver hasn't aligned with us yet, so we must take control of Victory Pass. As long as we control the elite troops in both areas, or if the conflict drags on, we can implement our original plan of inciting the civilians uprising across the region. This will highlight the king's failures and make him the target of public outrage, which is the perfect chance for us to make our move."

After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Eleanor's expression as he lifted his cup. As expected, he saw a flicker of anger cross her face.

Eleanor's voice was sharp as she said, "No! All the Sullivan family members must die."

Yuvan frowned. "Eleanor, don't act on impulse. Harvey's right. Our goal is to remove the Sullivan family from Victory Pass. As for you wanting them dead, you can decide how they die and how brutal you want to be with them once they're back in the capital."

Harvey anticipated a rebuttal from Eleanor when he voiced his opinion, but he knew that she would listen to Yuvan.

Besides, Yuvan was right. There was nothing more satisfying than witnessing the suffering of those one despised before their very eyes.

Seeing that Eleanor had no objections, Yuvan continued, "There's something that needs to be addressed urgently. We must incite the noble families and common folk scholars. We'll sing Rafael's praises for his accomplishment in reclaiming the Southern Frontier. The goal is to make sure the people only know about Rafael, and have no idea about the king's involvement."

Eleanor and Harvey nodded in agreement.

Eleanor sneered and said, "Yuvan, something interesting has come up. It seems that our dear nephew has taken a liking to Carissa."

"Are you referring to when he issued the royal edict stating that Carissa must enter the palace if she didn't get married in three months?" Yuvan shook his head. "I doubt it. Clearly, he was trying to manipulate Rafael into giving up his military authority. He knew Rafael had feelings for Carissa for a long time, so he used her as leverage to get what he wanted."

Eleanor shook her head, and said coldly, "No, there's been a rumor from the people in Sylvia's palace. When he was intoxicated one time, he held Sylvia's hand and called her Carissa."

"Really?" Yuvan was surprised. "He really has feelings for her?"

"It seems to be true."
