Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

After leaving the palace, Carissa spoke to Rafael about the matter while they were in the carriage.

Rafael recalled a report from Jacob, who had people monitoring both Edgeview Estate and Hartstone Estate. Ever since the rebellion case, Hartstone Estate had been eerily quiet and Harvey seldom ventured out. He had only left his estate two or three times, each time for a drink with someone. After a couple of outings, he had stopped altogether.

'There's a possibility that Harvey isn't ill at all but has actually left the capital," Rafael said, furrowing his brow." Even though our people have been keeping a close watch on Hartstone Estate, there's bound to be a lapse after so long. If Harvey has changed his appearance or disguised himself, he might go unnoticed."

"Where would he go at this time?" Carissa asked.

'Let's get back to the estate first," Rafael replied, running the current situation through his mind and forming a hypothesis.

Tonight, Hell Monarch Estate was lively, with the staff from Northwatch Estate joining them for the New Year's Eve dinner. However, the Klein family hadn't sent Ryan back. They were aware that there was a banquet at the palace, and since Ryan would have needed to stay behind at Hell Monarch Estate anyway, it was better for him to celebrate with the Klein family.

After they returned to Hell Monarch Estate, the atmosphere was vibrant, with everyone coming to collect their New Year's gifts. Carissa was generous, leaving everyone delighted with their rewards.

Later, Rafael, Jacob, and Kyle retreated to the study. Carissa didn't follow them, as they would be fine without her.
