Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 220

Salvador raised a hand to calm the room, and said, "Aunt Eleanor, please try to calm down. It is indeed improper for Carissa to have trespassed and insulted you-it shows a lack of the grace expected from a noble lady.

"What exactly did she say to you? Are there any witnesses? If you provide details, I will take charge. As for the accusation of her fabricating the miniature chastity belt sculpture, I'll have the Royal Citadel officials investigate. If it turns out to be false and an attempt to slander you, I'll ensure she is punished accordingly."

"Witnesses? There are plenty! The entire staff of my palace can testify. She barged in without any restraint, and the guards couldn't stop her. As for her insults, the people in my palace also heard them," Eleanor replied in a firm tone.

She paused before continuing, "As for the sculpture, having it investigated by the Royal Citadel officials is unnecessary. Conducting a large-scale investigation would only stir up more commotion. The common people are easily swayed. They might believe any scandal that arises, even if it is later proven false. Clearing my name would be nearly impossible then."

Victoria grew impatient, and demanded, "What exactly did she say to insult you? Just tell us."

Eleanor scowled. "The specifics of her insults are not important. What matters is that she dared to insult me. I am the current Grand Princess. Even if she marries Rafael, she will still be a younger member of the family. Disrespecting an elder is a punishable offense. And since she isn't married to him yet, her actions are a direct affront to the royal family-a grave disrespect!"
