Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 929

"What's the point of presenting a false or incomplete confession to His Majesty?" Rafael shot back. "He'll just tear it up himself."

Patrick sighed. "But we've already interrogated her for so many days. We've used torture, yet she hasn't budged. We can't use any harsher methods for fear of harming her. I believe another round of questioning will yield the same result."

Rafael's gaze turned cold. "Then, continue the interrogation. You know as well as I do, Mr. Lloyd. She must change her testimony. General Sullivan is not the one truly responsible-she is. If she refuses to cooperate, then we'll have to bring in Commander Warren and interrogate him."

Patrick's eyes widened in shock. "Your Highness, His Majesty has not authorized the interrogation of Commander Warren. He has no intention of involving him in this matter."

Rafael scoffed. "If General Sullivan is already implicated, then why not Commander Warren? Has His Majesty issued an order forbidding you from questioning him?"

Rafael fixed Patrick with a piercing stare. "I didn't say anything about arresting him. I said to bring him in. He was in charge of the Fawnrun City operation. Bring him in and ask him some questions. What's the problem? If His Majesty questions you later, just say it was my instruction."
