Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 986

After the Westhaven envoys left the capital, Salvador swiftly dealt out punishments to Dominic and Barrett.

Dominic's military leadership had been lax, but given his years of hard service defending Victory Pass and the fact that he had been on the brink of death when Barrett and Aurora headed to Fawnrun City, Salvador showed him some mercy. He allowed Dominic to retire from his post and return to Victory Pass to live out his remaining years in peace. Another edict followed, transferring command of Victory Pass to Wyatt, with Wallace as his deputy. Since the border issue had not yet been resolved, Victory Pass could not be left without the Sullivan family's involvement.

With that, Dominic finally emerged from Sullivan Estate and entered the palace to express his gratitude.

His family was still stationed at Victory Pass, and after his retirement, he would return there, though he would no longer be in charge. His accomplishments, despite their weight, would not earn him a noble title, but he held no regrets. He had never sought such things. Barrett also faced punishment, though his role in providing useful information during the Westhaven negotiations earned him some leniency. He was demoted to deputy commander of the Nightsteel Guard and would have his salary docked for three years. In turn, lan was promoted to the position of commander. With that, lan became the commander of both of Salvador's personal guard divisions. Showing exceptional clemency, Salvador allowed Rafael and his household to privately deal with the two Westhaven spies. Rafael returned to consult Carissa, asking whether she wished to handle the matter herself or leave it to the Ministry of Justice.

Carissa called for Lulu and asked for her opinion. Aurora was the culprit who caused the massacre of the Sinclair family, but it was the Westhaven spies who had carried out the slaughter.

Lulu had never taken a life before. She knelt before Rafael and Carissa, her teeth clenched in fury. "I want to watch them die with my own eyes, as a tribute to the spirits of the Sinclair family."

A sharp pain shot through Carissa's chest, and her eyes burned with unshed tears.
