Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1326

Back at Hell Monarch Estate, Kyle tried to comfort the fuming Carissa.

"Sending Lady Helen and Ryan to the palace isn't so bad, is it? If the rebels really manage to break in, the palace guards are the most formidable. They'd be safer there than if they stayed at the academy or here at the estate."

Carissa drank down an entire jug of cold water, the chill in it only deepening her frustration.

"I know. That's why I agreed, but agreeing doesn't mean I'm not angry. He's not doing it to protect Mother and Ryan. He's using them as hostages. He knows that with Mother and Ryan in the palace, I'll have no choice but to protect it with my life, even if it means sacrificing everything.'

If the rebels broke into the capital, the first thing they would do was surround Hell Monarch Estate, capturing anyone useful to control Dominic and Rafael.

Carissa wasn't unaware of this-she just hated the thought of Salvador's motives. Besides, if Helen and Ryan weren't in the palace, she could still find a safe place for them.
