Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 895

Salvador and the entire court were faced with only two choices.

The first was to flatly deny the massacre of civilians ever occurred.

The second was to act as though they had been unaware of the events, and after receiving the official correspondence from Westhaven, cooperate with their investigation. They could arrest those responsible, take corrective measures, and salvage their kingdom's honor before it was too late.

The official correspondence from Westhaven did not mention the border issues, but that matter would be decided later.

Salvador gathered his ministers and deliberated for three days.

The first option was impossible-Westhaven had already issued a formal accusation and had enough evidence. They had been building support within their own borders for months. The borders between the two kingdoms were already in turmoil, and any attempt to deflect responsibility would lead directly to war.

Given that the second option was the only viable one, the question now became who would be held accountable. Once the decision was made, Salvador exchanged a long look with Jeremiah. The others in the room remained silent, no one daring to speak.
