Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1112

At his core, Rafael was a military man. He had always been fascinated by weapons. His interest in them ran deep, and he often found himself eager to spend hours studying and improving them.

Rafael felt a tightness in his chest. “It wasn’t a quarrel. Isn’t everything fine?”

If the gates hadn’t needed to be closed, would she have simply let him find out when Violet returned and casually told him what had transpired?
