Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 730

The Supreme Court was busier than ever today. At Rafael's command, all leave was canceled. Even the assistant minister, Peter Salter, who was at home mourning a loss, was worried about keeping his position.

When the major conspiracy case arose and Rafael asked him to return, Peter quickly put on his official uniform and went back.

Eleanor and Henry were brought to the Supreme Court. Rafael would personally interrogate his aunt, while Matthew was tasked with questioning Henry. Peter and Jared Lynch, the Supreme Court's associate chief, would interrogate the remaining officials, servants, household physicians, and other staff.

Rafael didn't rush to interrogate Eleanor. Instead, he ordered that all the weapons from Harmony Palace be transported to the Supreme Court as material evidence. Meanwhile, the rest of the team began their questioning.

Despite working tirelessly until nightfall, they only managed to interrogate a handful of people. Rafael then ordered shifts for questioning, meaning there would be no rest. Matthew began organizing the interrogation reports and statements they had gathered to present them to Rafael.

Rafael glanced at the statements and noted there were few. He pulled out the reports on Henry, which were filled with questions but few answers, as Henry often deflected with claims of ignorance.

Matthew sighed in frustration. "Lord Henry claims he knows nothing. He only admits that the women in the dungeon and those watched over in the courtyard are his concubines. When it comes to the weapons or whether Grand Princess Eleanor was involved in treason, he simply says he doesn't know."

"Without concrete evidence, why would he confess?" Rafael set Henry's statement aside and pulled out the statements from Florence and Kurt. "Florence has been by Grand Princess Eleanor's side for a long time. She's her trusted confidante. As for Kurt, he's the head of household soldiers. What did they reveal?"

Matthew replied, "Florence seems to be in shock. She kept muttering 'impossible' under her breath, and we couldn't get much out of her. Kurt provided a good deal of information, but it was mostly trivial.

"He mentioned how Grand Princess Eleanor interacted frequently with certain families, the cruel treatment of the concubines in the inner palace, and the various ways those concubines had met their ends—drowning, strangulation, and even being thrown to their deaths. Each story was more tragic than the last. But when it came to the weapons, he had nothing to say. He only says he doesn't know anything about them."
