Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1415

Salvador now regularly summoned Carissa to the royal study to discuss military matters, granting her a seat at the table where battle strategies were planned and debated. Her place in these discussions was earned by leading the Mystic Army to crush the rebels.

It was a position forged in blood and sweat, with no one daring to challenge her right to it.
