Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 777

Norman had always valued Gareth’s opinions, as the two shared the same mindset. In fact, Norman also thought of Carissa in the same manner as Gareth did.

Once Gareth spoke up, everyone nodded in agreement, primarily because Norman had shown his support first. He never hesitated to express his approval for his fourth son.

“Gareth, you’re mistaken. The Capital Guard has its own methods for handling cases. Lady Carissa hails from a military family and has made contributions on the Southern Frontier battlefield. If she were incapable, His Majesty wouldn’t have set a precedent by assigning her such an important task.

“Moreover, she’s not investigating just any case–she’s dealing with a treason case. The fact that she’s acting on official orders means she could have summoned us to the Supreme Court for questioning. Instead, she came to us directly and waited outside for nearly an hour.

He paused to take a breath before he continued, “Dad, this case involves many parties. They probably have limited time to spare. If it weren’t necessary, they wouldn’t have come here. I believe we should invite them in. Whatever they ask, we can cooperate. If she was trying to use our family to establish her authority, waiting outside for so long isn’t the way to do it. By doing so, she’s actually showing consideration for us. She respects you, Dad-”
