Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 225

With the silver she obtained from Helen, Eleanor distributed some to continue fueling the gossip in the taverns and coffeehouses, exaggerating Carissa's supposed failure to observe her duties toward her family.

Carissa remained silent. She even closed the doors to Northwatch Estate and refused to make any public response, which satisfied Eleanor. Eleanor thought Carissa must be scared of the public outcry, and reveled in the victory.

Eleanor believed that Carissa going against her was like trying to fight a rock with an egg-completely futile.

Riding on her success, Eleanor entered the palace to see Salvador. She argued that Rafael's marriage to Carissa was laying a hidden danger to his throne. For the stability of the kingdom and its people, she suggested that Carissa's entry into Rafael's household should be prevented.

She expected Salvador to ponder her words seriously. To her surprise, he responded with a cold and stern expression.

"Aunt Eleanor, what are you saying? Both my brother and Carissa are military commanders who have devoted themselves to defending the Southern Frontier and our kingdom. They have shown loyalty to both me and the court. Moreover, my brother and I have been close since childhood. He would never harbor any ulterior motives. Please do not make baseless accusations."
