Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 1018

Chapter 1018

The next morning, after court was dismissed, Rafael brought the recently reviewed case files to the royal study for an audience with the king. Along the way, he took the opportunity to give a routine report on the progress of the treason case.

Though the case was still unresolved, the Ministry of Justice continued its investigation and submitted periodic updates. At this point, these reports were more procedural than substantive. Suspicion had increasingly focused on Yuvan, yet Salvador hadn’t authorized an investigation into him. In fact, he hadn’t even publicly addressed the issue. Even after Rafael had spelled things out clearly, the king remained silent.

Salvador skimmed through the files Rafael had brought. After hearing the latest- developments in the treason case, he commented, “So, it seems there’s still no real progress.”

There could be progress if he said something!

Salvador set the files aside. “Well, keep investigating.”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Rafael responded.

Noticing his brother lingering instead of leaving, Salvador raised a brow. “Is there something else?”

Rafael grinned. “Nothing urgent. Just that Uncle Yuvan has invited me and my family to dinner tonight.”

Salvador glanced up, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes before he smiled. “It’s been some time since Uncle Yuvan returned to the capital to attend to his duties. As you’re younger than him, you should’ve hosted him first. But since he’s extended the invitation, go ahead and enjoy.”

Rafael’s grin widened, showing off his pearly white teeth, his smile as bright as the midday sun. “That’s exactly what I thought, Your Majesty.”
