Chapter 1274

Rafael had intended to mention the person behind Yuvan's actions, but upon reflection, he chose to hold back. He didn't want to plant wild suspicions in Chester's mind.

Instead, he said, "At the time, there was no concrete evidence. If Prince Yuvan had been killed without cause, the king would have earned the reputation of mercilessly slaying his own kin.

"That would have only fueled the rebellion further. After all, rebellion is never the work of one man. With the reach Prince Yuvan's power has gained, someone would inevitably step forward to carry his banner. As for allowing him to return to Valken, it was to prevent him from reconnecting with those who had ties to Eleanor."

Chester hadn't thought too deeply before Rafael's explanation. "I see."

Once chaos erupts in Starhaven, they'll rally their forces under the pretext of quelling the unrest. That's why you must remain vigilant, General Murray. Ebonflow is the heart of Starhaven's food supply and trade. If it falls, the consequences will be dire."

Chester took the warning to heart, his expression hardening. "Rest assured. Even if it costs me my life, I won't allow them to take Ebonflow."
