Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 920

Dominic understood what Rafael was getting at. Westhaven's retaliation had been balanced-it was an eye for an eye. If they hadn't taken action after the massacre but instead sent an envoy like they were doing now, then Starhaven would clearly be in the wrong.

However, Westhaven had already exacted their form of revenge.

"Yes," Dominic said softly. "If it was just the massacre of villagers, they would have gotten their revenge after what they've done. But don't forget, there was the matter of a prisoner of war being killed as well."

A prisoner of war being killed was just describing the situation in a nicer way. What had truly occurred was the brutal humiliation of an heir to the throne, leading to his tragic death.

The current Westhaven king, Edmund, wasn't acting out of a sense of justice for the common people. No, he was seeking vengeance for his brother, Arthur. Even if the massacre of civilians could be swept under the rug, what of the murder of another kingdom's crown prince?

"The issue of Prince Arthur's death hasn't been openly acknowledged yet. Marshal Liam has been making concessions to maintain Prince Arthur's dignity as well as Westhaven's reputation. Grand Princess Lisandra is leading the upcoming envoy, so there's still hope," Rafael said.
