Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 909

After Sebastian left, Lawrence turned to his father. "Dad, no matter what it takes, we must stop Kevin."

Edwin nodded. "Don't worry. I won't let General Sullivan fall into such an unjust situation."

Even if it meant losing his noble title, there were some things and people Edwin would protect with everything he had. His ancestors had been military officers, and they had earned the title of marquis on the battlefield. If he had to give up his title to protect Dominic, Edwin believed his ancestors would understand and not fault him.

Edwin wasn't confident he could convince Kevin. The young man had always been strong-willed and had learned early on to plan for his future. Unfortunately, luck had never been on his side. Every time something important came up, Kevin would either fall ill or something would happen to prevent him from making a name for himself.

For years, Kevin was nothing more than a low-ranking guard in the crown prince's personal guard unit. Even after Salvador's ascension, when he was placed in the Mystic Army and later made part of the Crown Guard, he still hadn't risen much in rank. His chance to go to Victory Pass only came because Galen had recommended him to Ian.

Kevin had always wanted to stand out. Now that he had such an opportunity, he wasn't going to let it slip away easily.

After Sebastian left Elderglen Estate, he sent word to Hell Monarch Estate.

However, Rafael wasn't too concerned. He knew Kevin was an upright person, though lacking in luck. He suspected that Kevin was internally struggling with whether or not to speak out. If Edwin talked to him, it was highly likely that he would remain silent.

Moreover, if Kevin truly wanted to use the situation to advance, it would make more sense for him to be open with Felix, who was from the Quinton family and related to Logan, a prince consort. What they could offer Kevin in terms of benefits would far outweigh what he could gain from simply reporting the matter.

Having spent so many years beside the king, Kevin should understand him well. While Salvador might temporarily praise or promote him, the cost would be losing his trust.

Salvador feared powerful military officers and influential families, but as a man, he respected Dominic. He wouldn't want anyone stabbing the general in the back.

Rafael explained all this to Carissa, trying to reassure her.
