Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1324

Salvador's investigation matched Winona's findings.

Nicholas had not left his fief; he spent almost every day taking his wife and children to see plays or listen to music.

In Nerovia, there were a few orphanages that Nicholas had established. They were dedicated to caring for orphans and the elderly who had nowhere else to turn. He would often attend a play and then visit one of these orphanages afterward.

However, Winona uncovered something that Salvador had missed.

It was the fact that Nicholas had once saved Eustace's life.

She continued, "He's been helping Prince Yuvan, but in reality, he's been helping himself. Prince Yuvan's just been a puppet.
