Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1640

As Carissa and Melanie were leaving, Victoria sent Keith to escort them out of

Serenity Palace.

Carissa took the opportunity to slip him a letter. "Would you be so kind as to pass

this along to Her Majesty?"

Keith blinked in surprise. "Why did you not hand it to Her Majesty herself just now,

Lady Sinclair?"

Supporting her mother gently, Carissa replied, "It's merely a note of thanks. I'm

not good with words, so I thought it best to write it down."

Keith chuckled. "I see. Very well. I shall see it delivered."

That very afternoon, Carissa set out for Victory Pass, taking Travis and Lulu along

with her. Before departing, she also sent letters to Violet, Bun, and Cynthia,

asking them to travel to Victory Pass as well. They all had to arrive before the

city's defenses were tested by war.

As for the letter to Victoria, it held no words of gratitude at all.

Instead, Carissa wrote to inform the queen dowager that Winona, who had long

wandered abroad, had returned with troubling news. Westhaven's factions were

tearing themselves apart, and were likely to seize upon the conflict between the

two kingdoms to further their schemes.

Though Victoria typically refrained from meddling in affairs of the kingdom, this

matter was far from trivial. If she believed it, she would surely speak to the king.

Salvador respected and trusted Victoria deeply, and he would dispatch carrier

pigeons to his spies stationed in Westhaven without delay to investigate.

If reinforcements could be sent to Victory Pass sooner than in Carissa's previous

life, then the battle need not be so desperate. Fewer soldiers would have to give

their lives.
