Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1306

There was no morning court the following day. Salvador, who had not rested the previous night, gathered the officials to continue discussing the situation at the Southern Frontier.

No one could offer anything beyond the suggestion of his personal involvement in the campaign. The men recommended for command were, frankly, unsuitable.

Salvador was deeply worried and furious, and vented his frustration at them. "The court is full of capable people, yet no one is helpful when it matters! You all live off my support but never worry about my problems. What good are you?"

The entire court, both civil and military officials, remained silent, feeling helpless.

What else could they offer? Salvador constantly urged the promotion of younger military officers, yet he never considered those already within the Hell Monarch Army or the Sinclair Army's ranks. Instead, he had promoted Oliver, a man long absent from the battlefield. No one from Louis' group had even been considered.

Salvador's eyes grew colder as he thought of Oliver, a man he had personally elevated. His fury flared even higher.

"Lord Klein!" he barked. "Take men to raid Silverstone Estate! As for Oliver's family, lock them in the Astral Prison. Handle them as you see fit afterward."

Anthony stepped forward and bowed. "I shall carry out your orders, Your Majesty!"

After receiving the order, Anthony left while everyone watched with envy. As the court ministers

exchanged furtive glances, Salvador's rage reached new heights. The silence was suffocating, until the doors were suddenly flung open.
