Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1098

Carissa knew that Yuvan and his family were leaving the city today, so she gave orders to the Garrison Unit to keep an eye on them. After they left the city, they were to report back.

Max personally led a team to keep watch. As they saw several of Yuvan's carriages leaving Edgeview Estate in a grand procession, they didn't stop them. Because of Yuvan's status, he didn't need to be checked when leaving the city. However, Yuvan still lifted the curtain of his carriage and nodded politely. The officer at the city gate raised his hands in a salute as he saw Yuvan off. There was no order to check, so no one dared to. With Yuvan's emblem, they didn't even need to show their face to be allowed to pass.

Once they were gone, Max and his team returned to the Capital Guard headquarters to report to Carissa.

When Carissa heard that they had left, she finally felt at ease.

Recently, the Garrison Unit had been conducting fitness tests. Even after clearing out some people, the Garrison Unit couldn't be called elite. It was disappointing, especially considering the many who had come from the Mystic Army. Years of neglect had corrupted many, and some thought that just showing up and collecting their pay each month was enough. Why work harder?

Of course, there were still a few disciplined ones and those who hadn't forgotten their Mystic Army roots, but they were in the minority. Most couldn't resist temptation. It was like a drop of ink falling into a bowl of clear water-it darkened the whole bowl. But a drop of water in a bowl of ink? It changed nothing.

Carissa was working hard to reorganize the unit because she knew that her time as commander might not last long.
