Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 664

Once Alice and Opal left, Violet shared details about Darin with Thomas, including some schemes involving Yuvan, Harvey, and Eleanor.

Violet chose her words carefully, omitting her and Carissa's plans for the Emberfest Festival. However, after listening, Thomas pieced together the information with what he had already investigated and came close to the truth. He understood that they would likely start their inquiries with Eleanor, as Yuvan's influence lay in Valken. In the capital, he relied solely on Eleanor and Harvey.

Eleanor's status as a grand princess allowed her to maneuver in ways others could not, and she had indeed been working behind the scenes on Yuvan's behalf. Without her assistance, Yuvan's power would have been weakened significantly.

Harvey was deeply embedded in the shadows, making it challenging to trace his connections.

It suddenly dawned on Thomas why Rafael had instructed them, the Septimus Tetra reconnaissance team, to limit their dealings with Hell Monarch Estate. Initially, he thought it was merely a precaution against the king's suspicions. But now, he realized that avoiding contact allowed them to engage in many activities without raising flags.

Though Rafael had never stated this outright, and Violet hadn't mentioned it either, Thomas believed the Septimus Tetra reconnaissance team was the prince's safety net.

He meticulously reviewed the situation in his mind. "So, Henry doesn't really approve of my marrying Darin, does he?"

"He's worried about dragging his family into trouble. If Darin makes any mistakes, the Farrell family will surely blame the Marquis of Grovehill's family. He's just looking out for his own," Violet explained.

Thomas nodded. "I got it. I'll hold off on this marriage for now. I need to ensure the grand princess doesn't suspect anything, and I can't let Henry breathe too easily either."

Violet smiled and said, "I came today to tell you about this, but I didn't expect to see Darin as well. Henry mentioned that Darin originally belonged to a performance troupe, but when the troupe went under, she had to fend for herself. Eventually, she caught the eye of some bandits, and that's when Eleanor saved her.

"We can't trust Henry completely, and we still need to investigate Darin's background. Fortunately, Kyle is at Hell Monarch Estate right now. I can ask him to paint her portrait and find someone in Stonebridge County to inquire about her. Even though the performance troupe has disbanded, the performers should still be around trying to make a living, and many people must have seen their acts. It shouldn't be hard to dig up information."
