Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1252

Harvey had left the capital with his belongings, but he soon realized that the gold and silver he carried had been swapped out for fakes. Furious, he raged at the loss, but it was too late to turn back.

He didn't dare return to the capital now. With no connections or resources to rely on, and only the title of prince to his name, he found himself isolated and powerless. His position was growing increasingly awkward.

But he had found an alternative, though it might not be the best path for his third brother.

Of course, this individual was even more formidable than Yuvan. If things succeeded, taking credit for their achievements wouldn't be an easy task.

But compared to Yuvan, this person had better odds of success. Naturally, Harvey would choose to follow the one with the higher chance of victory.

With his current position, he had no leverage-no wealth, no connections, nothing.

But with this other person, Yuvan himself became the leverage. If this individual wanted to strip everything from Yuvan, Harvey would be the key.
