Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Violet and Travis both understood the implication of Carissa's words.

The situation in Westhaven was bound to change drastically. Once the current crown prince, Edmund, ascends the throne, the first order of business would be a thorough investigation of Fawnrun City. There were three reasons for that-revenge, consolidating his own

political power, and redrawing the borderlines.

Seeing the large sum, Travis immediately shook his head. "No way. I'm not betting on that."
