Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1382

It took five days to finally wipe out the remaining rebels.

News soon came from Thomas and Chester. Having captured the traitor, Clifford, alive, they were now on their way back to the capital. Also with them were the rebel leaders, including Yuvan, Harvey, and Wayne. They would arrive in the city in a matter of days.

With the exception of Oliver, the remaining targets had mostly been caught.

On July 25, the Royal Management Department organized Hayden's funeral. Due to the treason committed by Nicholas, the funeral was a modest affair. Salvador convened a council to discuss whether Hayden could be buried in the Princes' Mausoleum. Though he had been innocent, Nicholas' crime had stained his entire family.

Carissa was not summoned to participate in the discussions. Instead, she, along with Hell Monarch Estate's staff, made their way to Willowbrook Estate to mourn.

The funeral was kept quiet and understated, with no officials attending. Unless Salvador granted

permission for Hayden to be buried in the Princes' Mausoleum, no one would dare show up.

Dressed in black, Chaya knelt before the coffin and arranged some flowers. Hayden's body had been placed in the coffin, though it had not yet been sealed. When Carissa, Violet, and the others arrived, they could still view his remains.

Three coffins were placed together-one for Hayden and another for Sonny.

The third was empty.
