Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 971

In the council hall of Hell Monarch Estate, Jacob laid out the profiles of the three female officials: Penny Durham, Yuna Rutherford, and Yasmine Stein.

"These three are Grand Princess Lisandra's close confidants. In Westhaven, women rarely hold important government positions. However, Ms. Durham was the first female official to rise to a fifth-rank position.

"Grand Princess Lisandra highly favors her. Next is Ms. Stein, the legitimate daughter of the head of Westhaven's Stein family. Marshal Liam's wife is her aunt. Finally, there's Ms. Rutherford. She comes from a commoner background and earned her place by topping the women's imperial exams. She's been working alongside Grand Princess Lisandra on state affairs. All three have been with the grand princess since their late king's time, and our investigation shows they are all highly loyal to her."

Rafael picked up the documents, carefully scanning the details-names, ages, personalities, backgrounds, family information, when they started their careers, and what they had done. After reading through them, he turned his attention to Penny's profile. "She's been with Grand Princess Lisandra the longest and has always been loyal, so it's unlikely to be her," Jacob pointed out.

"She served as a female official by the late crown prince's side for two years?" Rafael asked, looking up.

Jacob nodded. "Yes. She was selected by Grand Princess Lisandra, and was sent to the late crown prince's side. Much like us in Starhaven, a crown prince has his own smaller court to handle administrative affairs, which helps him with the transition... oh!" His eyes widened in realization.
