Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 936

Around noon the next day, the Westhaven envoys arrived in the capital. The Protocol Department and the Diplomatic Affairs Department made the arrangements for their reception and provided lodging at Concord Lodge.

Westhaven's government system was similar to Starhaven's, though they did not have a position equivalent to the prime minister. Instead, they had a cabinet and various ministry departments that were similar to Starhaven.

This delegation to Starhaven was led by Lisandra, along with Leroy, Westhaven's Defense Minister. They were accompanied by various cabinet members-Garrick Horton and Amos Bailey, both Secretaries of State; Klaus Reed, the Diplomatic Affairs Department Minister, and Icarus Mendez, commander of the Sovereign Guard.

Also present was Harlan Fitzgerald, the guard captain of Lisandra's household soldiers, as well as two interpreters and three female officials. Since the names of the female officials had not been announced, their identities remained unknown. The rest of the entourage consisted of various guards and attendants.

Rafael, Carissa, and the others stood at a tavern near the city gates, watching the envoys pass by.

Lisandra was dressed in purple official attire and riding a bay horse, slowly making her way into the city with her large procession. Though she was actually 32 years old, the weariness from the long journey made her appear older than her age.

'The man riding the black horse behind Grand Princess Lissandra is Leroy Stellwyn," Jacob remarked.

Though Liam and Leroy were indeed related to the Westhaven royal family, they actually had a different family name. They had used the Tudor surname on the battlefield, but their actual surname was Stellwyn.
