Chapter 819 Rumors And Rescue
Nordia and Avenlor had already established a cooperative relationship.
If Elowen became the Oracle of Nordia, her dual identity as the Oracle and the Duchess of Duskinour would act like a rope, tying the Nordian royal court and Avenlor’s Duskmoor Manor together.
By then, the King’s grip on House Harrow would tighten even further.
And Avenlor would have the perfect excuse to interfere in Nordia’s internal affairs.
Maikor absolutely could not let that happen.
The advisor whispered, “Your Grace, if the Crimson Lantern’s secrets are fully exposed, our House’s years of planning will be destroyed in an instant. The heir will also become a living witness in the hands of the King and Princess Valessa.”

Lord Ronan might be used against you if he falls under the Princess’s control.
“So,” Malkor sneered, “you want me to kill my own son?”
The man shuddered violently, not daring to make another peep.
Malkor raised a foot and kicked him hard in the shoulder.
The henchman was sent sprawling across the floor, but he didn’t even dare cry out in pain. He scrambled back up and immediately knelt back down.
“He is my son,” Malkor said, his voice bone-chilling. “He carries the bloodline of the House of Harrow, and he is my one and only heir.”

The advisor bowed his head immediately. “Yes, sir.”
Malkor continued, “Elowen has Cassian by her side, so we shouldn’t rush our move on her just yet…”
He paused. “Instead, spread the word. Make sure everyone in Kingsport knows that Avenlor’s Duchess of Duskmoor is posing as the Oracle in an attempt to meddle with Nordia’s royal authority.

Chapter 819 Rumors And Rescue
Several groups of men melted into the darkness, scattering throughout Kingsport.
Some headed for the Crimson Lantern, while others made for the noble estates.
Still others blended into the taverns and winehouses in the alleys, ready to blanket the entire city with the rumor of the “Wicked Woman from Avenlor faking her Oracle status” before dawn.
When Elowen returned to the Royal Guesthouse, she first handed Thomas over to Anson to put him to work.
Back in her room, Cassian was still fast asleep.
Noah was sitting by the side, tending to a medicine stove. Seeing her walk in, he looked up.
“You’re back?”
Elowen nodded, murmured a yes, and walked softly over to the bed.
