Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 717

Salvador had certainly not anticipated uncovering such treasonous material. He had thought it would only be some vile secrets from the inner palace, but this was far beyond that. He initially wanted to intervene, yet he hesitated to issue a direct order regarding the affairs of Harmony Palace.

Thus, he had opted to subtly influence things during the Emberfest Festival.

Salvador wasn't entirely sure anyone would take action against Eleanor that night, but the recent rumors had been rampant.

Whispers claimed that Samuel's courtesan was the daughter of a concubine from Eleanor's household. After sending people to investigate, Salvador learned that Henry had dealings with the Lester family, a prominent merchant clan in the city. Coincidentally, one of the Lester family's daughters had visited Hell Monarch Estate several times.

These fragmented pieces of information didn't paint a complete picture, but as in previous years, Eleanor had invited high priests to pray at Harmony Palace during the Emberfest Festival.

Then, there was Kyle, who had arrived in the capital just before the festival. Salvador recalled some past conflicts between Carissa and Eleanor, and speculated that the grand princess' sordid affairs might be linked to the Lester family.

Salvador couldn't say that he knew Carissa well, but he understood she had a strong sense of justice. If the Lester family had sought her help, she might have been inclined to assist them if she had been dissatisfied with Eleanor.

Most importantly, Daniel's wife and children had gone missing, presumably kidnapped. If Eleanor had indeed been behind this, Carissa would certainly not have stood by idly.

That was Salvador's entire train of thought up to now. However, he never could have imagined they would find weapons and armor in Harmony Palace. The significant stash of gunpowder was especially shocking.

Rafael stood, quickly processing the information in his mind, and decided not to feign ignorance. "I will carry out your order, Your Majesty."

Salvador turned to the prime minister. "Jeremiah, you may leave now. I have a few words to share with my brother."

Jeremiah rose. "I will take my leave, Your Majesty, Your Highness."

"Safe travels, Mr. Murray." Rafael saluted to see him off.
