Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1105

Wayne felt a headache coming on. His thoughts clouded with irritation at Yuvan's blind obsession.

Wayne had thought this matter was nearly settled. He had expected a smooth departure from the capital, only to have Yuvan insist on a new arrangement. Yuvan even sent some of the suicide soldiers to carry out this task when they were supposed to remain in the city. What was more, Violet's involvement had completely shattered their plans.

A flicker of anger crossed Wayne's gaze. If Carissa had been eliminated that night and buried quietly, no one would've known. As luck would have it, she had escaped and was now holding Yuvan hostage.

This was not something easily dealt with.

Fortunately, Wayne had already anticipated such a situation and had taken precautions in advance. He was prepared for what would come after the task was completed, and to smooth things over with the Spencer family. But now... No matter how this played out, it would cause a significant rift with the Spencers and make future dealings difficult.

Carissa's heart seethed with frustration, her eyes burning with rage as she glared at the two county duchesses hidden in the carriage. This vile man-Yuvan-didn't even move his daughters away. He was brazenly attempting to violate Violet while they were around! Fiona was a lost cause, and Molly wasn't much better.

They were all scum!

"Lady Carissa, please don't misunderstand. Ms. Spencer is Prince Yuvan's cousin-in-law. He couldn't possibly have improper intentions. We're leaving the capital. Why would we stir up more trouble? This only harms our relationship with the Spencer family," Fiona insisted, trying to placate Carissa.

Her words fell flat, lacking any conviction. But as long as they all stuck to the same story, even if the matter reached the king's ears, it would only result in a mild reprimand-nothing more.

What worried Wayne was Carissa's fury. If she truly killed Yuvan in a fit of rage, it would be a disaster.
