Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1248

Jeremiah bowed in respect and said, "Your Majesty's command is one I dare not disregard. After all, I am but a humble servant. However, Lady Carissa is here to visit Lord Gerald, and there is no personal enmity between them. I do not foresee any dispute."

In front of the thousand-year-old fox, Kylie was no more than a young weasel-with ill intentions but clumsy methods.

Using her position as queen, Kylie boldly plotted against Carissa. She was fully aware that it could cost her grandfather his life, yet she showed no concern at all.

Contrary to Carissa's expectations, Jeremiah was indeed willing to testify and would argue on her behalf with reason.

He cast a cold glance at the Quinton family. "Ah, a fine group of devoted descendants. Lord Gerald should have no regrets."

Anyone who understood the situation lowered their heads, too afraid to meet Jeremiah's gaze.

Before Carissa could speak, Marjorie stood up. "Commander Sinclair, thank you for bringing Mr. Dalton to treat my father-in-law. Your kindness is truly appreciated."

Kylie clearly hadn't expected her mom to speak up, and her expression darkened in an instant.

"Mom, it is enough for the royal physician to attend to grandfather. A village physician like this has no business treating him."

But the Quinton family members, realizing the implications, shifted uneasily. The medicine Gerald had used in the past had often come from Arcane Sanctum, and with such a large family, they regularly relied on Sebastian's expertise.
