Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1495

In the blazing heat of July, a letter from Westhaven arrived.

Westhaven's king, Edmund, had abdicated. Grand Princess Lisandra was now queen. She had taken the throne and assumed control of the kingdom, and its name was officially changed from Westhaven to Orivenia.

The new queen invited Starhaven to send an envoy delegation to attend her coronation and to discuss the long-standing border disputes. Lisandra had already ascended the throne, so attending the coronation was merely a formality. The true purpose of the visit was to negotiate the border issue.

When the Westhaven envoy delegation previously came to Starhaven, their primary goal was the border-an issue that had been put on hold due to internal unrest. It was also the matter that had weighed most heavily on Lisandra's mind. So, with her coronation behind her now, she wasted no time in reopening the talks.

At the morning court session in Starhaven, there was unanimous agreement that old grudges were behind them. Both kingdoms were now on equal footing, and it was time to stand firm where needed. The border issue might not be resolved quickly, but as long as war was avoided, it was a step in the right direction.

Salvador selected Kendrick for the diplomatic mission. Though he had no experience in court matters, his status as a prince made him a symbol of respect. He was to accompany the envoy delegation, which included the Defense Minister and the head of the Diplomatic Affairs Department, to Orivenia.

Carissa was also part of the group, serving in her official capacity as the commander of the Mystic Army, tasked with overseeing security along the journey. Rafael had recommended her for the role, as the delegation would pass through Victory Pass.

They would stop there briefly to gather information about the state of affairs between the two kingdoms and Orivenia's current situation. It would also be a chance for Carissa to reunite with her grandfather and his family for a few days.
