Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1281

Since it wasn't Wayne, Yuvan shifted his gaze to Harvey.

He was just about to defend himself when Yuvan shook his head. "It's not you, either."

Harvey was speechless. He wasn't even worth suspecting?

It was only natural that Yuvan didn't suspect Harvey. The latter had arrived in Valken with nothing to his name, and in all those years in the capital, he hadn't achieved anything noteworthy. He was far inferior to Eleanor.

When Harvey first came to Valken, the people addressed him politely to his face. But behind his back, they all looked down on him. He had no sway over someone like Craig.

Yuvan took a slow, measured breath, gradually regaining his composure as he sank into his seat. His gaze swept over both men.

"Tell me, is it Craig who's been bought off, or is someone plotting to take what is rightfully mine?" he asked.

Wayne was still kneeling on the ground. He pondered for a while before he said, "It's impossible for him to have been bought off. Only a few days have passed since you issued the proclamation. Our forces are scattered across five or six districts, and it took us over half a year to move them into place. The court has no way of uncovering that, let alone tracking down Craig to turn him."
