Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 706

Surprisingly, Jacob and the others were unconcerned about what would happen in Harmony Palace tonight. With the assassins on the move, they would surely breach the dungeons.

Given the many high priests attending the sacred ceremony at Harmony Palace, the Capital Guards and the Garrison Unit would likely be heavily focused on guarding the area. When the assassins were spotted, the people Jacob had in place would cause a commotion and draw the Capital Guards and Garrison Unit's attention.

Once inside Harmony Palace, the assassins would head for the dungeon. They knew the residence's layout and where the dungeon entrance was, so they would lead everyone straight in.

However, Carissa was puzzled by something. The queen dowager had sent food offerings to support Eleanor, drawing a large crowd. Victoria wouldn't act so arbitrarily. In all the years Carissa had known her, she had never done anything like this.

The only one who might orchestrate such an arrangement was Salvador.

With Janice having been sent back to the Royal Management Department for questioning, it was only a matter of time before she revealed Eleanor's involvement. Was Salvador's heightened attention on tonight's ceremony a result of this?

But what could such attention accomplish? It would merely attract more people.

After pondering it for a while, Carissa asked, "Is the goal to draw in those closely associated with Grand Princess Eleanor? After all, she wouldn't invite them if she had no established relationships with them."

Jacob frowned. "I worry that the king might suspect something significant is set to happen at Harmony Palace tonight. While your theory is a possibility, I suspect His Majesty's true intention is to uncover what secrets Harmony Palace holds."

"Is it possible he knows about our plans?" Violet asked in surprise.
