Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1406

Salvador summoned Eustace to the palace for an audience.

Eustace had come prepared. Though he had led his bodyguards and the merchant convoys to quell the unrest, the connection between the Spencer family's collateral branch and Nicholas couldn't be easily dismissed.

Even if Salvador publicly declared their merits balanced with their faults, it was not something that could be swept aside without consequence.

However, Salvador's attitude towards Eustace was surprisingly warm. The former even praised him for his loyalty to the throne and his patriotic spirit, noting that he resembled his late father in his unwavering commitment. The previous head of the Spencer family had been generous to the court, contributing substantial funds during times of war.

Eustace understood the underlying message and quickly offered, "With both the Southern Frontier and Victory Pass embroiled in battle, the Spencer family is willing to contribute in whatever small way we can. We will donate 300,000 silver coins to help provide winter clothes and improve the rations for our soldiers."

Salvador appeared pleased. He smiled and said, "Good. With your contribution of 300,000 silver coins, I am confident our border forces will withstand the enemy and end this war sooner rather than later."

Eustace was quick to express his gratitude, "You're wise and compassionate, Your Majesty. The heavens will surely bless Starhaven for generations to come."
