Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1399

In her study, Carissa wrote a letter. Then, she handed it to Jacob with instructions to have it delivered to Rafael in the Southern Frontier.

She knew the situation in the Southern Frontier. Victor was amassing troops but neither attacking nor retreating, keeping things in a stalemate.

Everyone knew that Victor was just stalling. He had been given a military order to invade the Southern Frontier, but since Nicholas had failed, he could not return with any captured cities or military achievements to report.

If Victor made a hasty retreat now, he would likely lose more than just his position-his life might be

forfeited as well. He attempted to forge alliances with the nomads, hoping to find a way out-perhaps a way to secure his future or an escape from certain doom.

The nomads, tired of conflict, had no interest in picking sides. Caught in the middle, they were doing everything they could to remain neutral, refusing to aid either side.

If they really had to choose, they would choose Starhaven. But naturally, it was better to avoid choosing sides altogether.

Victor's position was weak. According to reports from Rafael, he intended to continue pursuing Victor relentlessly until the latter had no choice but to retreat. If they weren't beaten hard enough, they would never give up on their ambitions.

Carissa sat in her study for a moment, recalling a line she had written in a letter to him earlier-a simple line that she missed him. Her cheeks flushed at the thought.
