Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 956

The confession was written entirely in Stellish, which Westhaven envoys couldn't fully understand. The two interpreters read it aloud in Westic for them.

Icarus took full responsibility for the plot, explaining that his motive stemmed from Hector's past victory of Westhaven, which had resulted in the deaths of many Westhaven soldiers. He also harbored a deep grudge against the Sullivan family, particularly Carissa, whose grandfather, Dominic, had guarded Victory Pass for many years and fought in countless battles. Consumed by hatred, Icarus had seized the opportunity to strike at Carissa when he came to the capital, hoping to vent his anger.

Even after hearing the confession, the Westhaven envoys didn't seem any less tense. Regardless of their stance, this meant the attempt on Carissa's life was tied to Victory Pass.

The Westhaven envoys couldn't help but respect the Hell Monarch for his straightforwardness in not bringing this matter to the negotiating table directly. Instead, he had sought justice before the talks even began.

This, in turn, made the mood heavier. They would have preferred it if Starhaven had been a little more ruthless and put the matter directly on the table. Were that the case, they wouldn't have to worry about preserving their dignity.

All the envoys, except for Amos, were inwardly cursing Leroy. How foolish to think he could compare to his brother, Liam. Did he even realize how much like a clown he appeared?

Rafael remained calm as he watched them with a steady gaze. In negotiations, it was all about the psychological game.

Originally, the Westhaven envoys had come a long way to demand an explanation from Starhaven. Westhaven was the aggrieved party, with the right to present their conditions. They could be angry, could question, and could demand more than what was fair. Now, with the assassination attempt on Carissa, they suddenly found themselves at a disadvantage.
