Chapter 972

Carissa hesitated for a moment before saying, "Go and bring Sebastian here. I'll think of a way to slip inside and take a look."

No matter what, it was best to have Sebastian ready just in case.

Violet nodded. "Alright, I'll go now."

She hurried out and saddled the horse. The night air was still cold, and it would be quite troublesome for Sebastian to come out in this weather.

Halfway there, she crossed paths with Travis, but it seemed like he didn't notice her. He rode straight past. She called out to him, and it took a moment before the sound of galloping hooves returned.

Carissa instructed the Capital Guard to stand watch at the entrance, ensuring no one entered. If it turned out to be a trap, they had to be cautious and prepared. There was no harm in being extra careful. After that, she left the gatehouse and wandered around the perimeter of Concord Lodge.

Since the area outside was filled with her men, she didn't think there would be much risk in walking around. After a while, she scaled the wall at the back of the courtyard and slipped inside.

The security inside was clearly less strict than before, though it was hard to tell if that was intentional or not.

Carissa knew Lisandra resided in the eastern courtyard, but she was some distance away from there and had to be cautious to avoid detection. As she moved into the central courtyard, she noticed there were more guards. She crept along the corridor, pressing herself against the wall. Fortunately, the lanterns weren't very bright, and her footsteps were light enough not to alert the guards.
