Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1327

Carissa couldn't bring herself to tell Rafael about Helen and Ryan moving into the palace-she feared it would upset him.

She received a letter from Rafael, which came along with the report of their victory in the second battle. Salvador had specifically summoned her to the palace to hand it over.

Carissa knew Rafael had intentionally sent the letter through Salvador's hands, signaling that they hid no secrets. It was a gesture of transparency, even if it was a mere formality.

But it seemed to please Salvador, who didn't put on the usual fake smile. Instead, he told her not to worry too much about the situation at the Southern Frontier. Victory was within their grasp.

After her audience with the king, Carissa went to Serenity Palace to offer her greetings to Victoria and check on Helen and Ryan.

However, she didn't find Ryan or Evan there. They were in class; as they were Connor's study partners, they had to follow him to the study.

Moreover, Connor's tutor had changed. Trevor was now personally teaching him.

In the past, Salvador had suggested this, but Trevor had turned it down, citing health concerns. Now that Ryan was in the palace, Trevor immediately agreed, clearly doing it as a show of respect to the late Hector.
