Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 995

Chapter 995

So, Barrett really was sticking around the Ministry of Justice of his own volition? That was a rare thing indeed. Who would receive mercy and not leave immediately? Most people would want to get away from there and avoid any bad luck, yet he was still hanging on to the place.

What was going on?

“Why’s he still there?” Carissa asked, genuinely curious now.

“I don’t know. Mr. Lloyd brought the case files today and mentioned that Barrett hasn’t said a word since he’s been in the confinement room. He only eats one meal a day and just stays there. He originally said he’d only stay for one day, but now… he doesn’t want to leave at all,” Rafael replied.

“That’s strange. Does he not care about his official position anymore?” Carissa mused, but when she heard it wasn’t Salvador’s decision, she shifted the topic, asking, “What about what happened during the negotiations? After you reported to His Majesty, didn’t he investigate?”

Icarus‘ assassination attempt might have been swept under the rug, but the poisonous worm that Penny used on Lisandra was the same as the one in the Brightmoor District case. The king was sure to make the connection.

“He’ll definitely investigate. I’m sure he’s assigned Mr. Walker to handle it,” Rafael said.

While the Supreme Court was tasked with investigating the treason case, Salvador wouldn’t want them to handle the more covert matters.

When Lulu entered the room with the servants to clear away the leftovers, Sydney spoke up, “Your Highness, Your Grace, it’s time to prepare for your bath. It’s best to get settled in early.”

The past days had been filled with the stress of the negotiations, and Rafael had been running around nonstop. He had lost weight from all the exhaustion. Sydney could see it, and now that the negotiations were over, it was time for him to properly rest and recover.

Rafael blinked and placed his large hand over Carissa’s, his pinky gently tracing her wrist.
