Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1330

Violet sprawled across Carissa's desk. "Haven't you read this letter a dozen times already? Why are you still looking at it? Do you miss Prince Rafael that much?"

"He mentioned Prince Nicholas before he left, but I think there's something he hasn't fully figured out yet. The more tense the situation gets, the sharper his mind becomes. I wonder if he has figured something out recently and has given me some clues," Carissa replied.

"Why the need for hints? Why not just write it plainly in the letter?" Violet asked.

"This letter was sent directly to the king, who then passed it on to me," Carissa explained. "If it was something Raf deduced or suspected, he wouldn't have written it plainly. His Majesty has already opened it and read through it."

Violet scrunched up her nose in distaste. "Reading someone's personal letters? That's pretty low. But still, why didn't he just send it to you directly?"

"Because that's the fastest way to get to me," Carissa said. "And sending a letter directly could risk it being intercepted. If the contents were just his guesses, it could easily be twisted into accusations of slander."

After she finished speaking, Carissa turned to them and asked, "Have you found anything?"
