Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 797

The torture during Henry’s interrogation was relentless, but the spineless man suddenly found his courage and insisted that he knew nothing. He claimed he was just a pawn being used by others.

As the pain intensified, he cried out, “I’ve suffered greally! Eleanor has wronged me the most. My women, my children–they’ve either been killed or sent away because of her. She’s truly insane! But now, she’s been caught and I can finally free myself from her graspr

The Royal Citadel’s governor, Anthony Klein, personally came to interrogate him. Their methods of questioning and torture were harsher than those of the Supreme Court, yet Henry remained adamant and refused to divulge anything.

The case was reported during the morning court session, and all the officials listened intently. Unlike before, when everyone felt on edge, their hearts had now settled into a steadier rhythm.

Even Yuvan, who hadn’t attended court, was aware that Eleanor and Henry had not implicated anyone. Servants had mentioned that Yuvan and Harvey had visited Harmony Palace, but besides them, other princes had also visited, and Hayden had made one visit as well.

However, this couldn’t be counted as evidence unless they could be heard plotting. After all, as siblings, it was completely normal for them to visit their sister or brother. Furthermore, after Yuvan returned to the capital, he only went to Harmony Palace once. There was no way he could be dragged into this.

At last, the case reached a temporary halt. Salvador issued an edict during the morning court session, placing Eleanor under house arrest at the Heritage Bureau, with the Capital Guard responsible for her transfer. The Supreme Court would continue investigating the treason, and the case would remain open until the masterminds behind it were revealed.

To provide some measure of justice for the victimized women, Henry was given a death sentence on the spot. As for the Marquis of Grovehill’s family, they were deemed accomplices and had their titles revoked. They were demoted to commoners.

Eleanor was not seized, but they were ordered to pay out 100,000 silver coins to care for those women. The concubines could return to their hometowns, but all their daughters were to remain in the convent, their expenses covered entirely by the Kingsley family.
