Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

That day, Claire reported that several suspicious individuals had entered the capital and checked into Prestige Lodge.

The reason they were considered suspicious was because they carried a distinct aura of violence, one that set them apart from the usual martial arts practitioners. This bloodthirsty presence was something the scouts were highly sensitive to. As soon as the scouts detected it, they began to track the individuals closely. After they checked into Prestige Lodge and didn't come out, the scouts reported their findings.

Upon hearing the report, Violet went to find Carissa.

Carissa frowned when she heard the news. The capital was the most prosperous and bustling place in the kingdom, with a significant number of merchants and martial artists coming and going.

"People who have killed excessively often carry a distinct scent," Violet said. "That's what Claire said, and that's why those people are highly suspicious. Could they be plotting to assassinate the king?"

Carissa thought for a moment before shaking her head. "An assassination attempt on the king would need to occur when he is outside the palace. Attempting to assassinate him inside the palace would be the height of folly, especially since they are only a few in number. An inside accomplice would be necessary for such a plot."

"Should we ask Michael to investigate the palace guards?" Violet suggested.

"No," Carissa said as she clasped her hands together and looked out at the overcast sky.

The summer rains had begun. Though the capital was situated further north, it rained more after summer.

She recalled the recent issues surrounding the new crown prince of Westhaven.
