Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 230

Chapter 230

The Royal Citadel also sent people to Eleanor’s residence. Since the storytellers had accused someone from her household, it was standard procedure for the Royal Citadel to investigate.

Given Eleanor’s high status, Anthony took it upon himself to handle the matter with a diplomatic approach. As expected, Eleanor merely offered a scapegoat to take the blame. Anthony didn’t dwell on it, and brought the individual back with him.

As for the storytellers, they were all temporarily released. However, the authorities gave them three days to clear up the matter and apologize to Carissa, as well as provide compensation.

Since the Royal Citadel had already made a big deal of visiting Ironridge Estate to question Jessica, she would still be affected even if Eleanor found a scapegoat.

The three–day deadline for the storytellers to make amends was essentially a time for Eleanor to manipulate the situation. At this point, intimidation was futile, and bribery was the only option.

So, a large sum of money was spent. The three thousand silver coins Helen provided were all used up, and Eleanor even had to add more on top of it. The storytellers used this money to apologize to Carissa and provide compensation.

Though they didn’t meet Carissa directly, the grand scale of their apologies attracted a lot of public attention. Frederick was at the gate to accept their apologies and compensation, and each storyteller voiced regret for tarnishing Carissa’s reputation over a small amount of silver coins.

The crowd began to stir, with some people shouting, “Was it Lady Jessica who gave you the silver coins?”
