Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 901

When Carissa left, Alistair naturally followed behind her.

Alistair had a big mouth, and today, the topic of Carissa and Barrett's conversation-Aurora's massacre of civilians-was no longer a secret.

What bothered Alistair the most was Dominic's involvement. He knew Dominic was innocent. The man had been gravely injured at the time, nearly dying. It was no wonder the treaty had been signed by Aurora.

Alistair felt a deep sense of injustice for Dominic. Upon returning to the Royal Guard headquarters, he couldn't help but voice his thoughts.

Who in the Royal Guard didn't respect the grand generals, Hector and Dominic? So, when Alistair spoke up, more people started to speak out on Dominic's behalf. The Royal Guard wasn't one to openly plead for justice, but they would certainly discuss it in private.

This was Carissa's first move-she had to stabilize the foundation of her grandfather's credibility and the respect he commanded among the people. Additionally, the admiration of the military officers in the capital was just as vital. When a plan had to unfold gradually, these factors were non-negotiable.

Fortunately, the so-called victory at Victory Pass had been a deliberate attempt by Salvador to elevate Barrett and Aurora, ensuring Barrett's absolute loyalty. Salvador awarded the glory of the victory to Aurora and refrained from lavishly rewarding Carissa's grandfather and uncles.
