Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1111

Yuvan's reputation was ruined, and now, he was being sent back to the capital for treatment.

The procession that left the city was grand, but it returned in defeat, escorted by the soldiers of the garrison outpost.

Wayne claimed it was because he had fallen for a woman, but Thomas was as cautious as ever. He insisted that no conclusions could be drawn until a thorough investigation was done. The matter must be looked into carefully.

The suicide soldiers had surrendered without a fight. Two had been caught before during a mission, and they were tough-refusing to say a single word. But now, they couldn't reveal themselves to be suicide soldiers. If they did, their presence near the garrison outpost would give Thomas grounds to accuse them of plotting an attack on a military outpost.

So, they claimed to be Yuvan's household soldiers from Horizon Estate, and were there simply to escort him to the capital and then back to Valken. The special status of these soldiers meant they couldn't enter the city itself, which was why they had stayed at an estate at the western mountain pass.

It made sense, in theory. But their all-black attire gave Rafael and Thomas enough room to question them further.

As they were escorted back to the capital, Carissa and Violet rode together.

Violet shuddered at what had happened. "Cari, I'm so glad you came just in time to save me."

"You should thank my guild senior. It was actually Isaac who saved you first," Carissa replied.

Violet tilted her head. "Wasn't it you who rushed in to save me?"
