Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1199

Carissa felt an overwhelming sense of guilt deep in her heart. For the past few days, with everything going on at the gentlemen’s retreats, she had been out late at night, barely giving any thought to the matters at Gracewood Women’s Academy.

Kyle had warned her earlier to be extra cautious with the academy. Had she sent even just one more person, none of this would have happened.

The Royal Citadel had been swift to respond. Anthony himself led the investigation, which showed just how seriously the Royal Citadel took this matter.

Six men were captured, all tightly bound. After a few hard slaps, everyone was awake except for the one who had assaulted Rosalind.

After revealing their identities, it turned out that all six were laborers from the docks. They worked long hours unloading cargo and carrying heavy sacks of copper coins, barely earning enough to survive each month.

The night before, their foreman had gathered them for a meeting. Nine men sat down to eat and drink, and the foreman told them about a job that would pay fifty silver coins once completed. The task itself, seemed simple–sneak into Gracewood Women’s Academy, cause at little commotion, and then slip out through the back door.

The men, accustomed to tough work at the docks, were no strangers to trouble. However, they knew something didn’t sit right with this “easy” job. Still, the promise of fifty silver coins was hard to resist. It would take them over two years of hard labor to earn that much. Who wouldn’t be tempted by such an offer?

Everyone was tempted, but two of the men declined. The foreman himself naturally opted out. He was only in charge of passing on the message. The remaining six, after some hesitation, accepted the offer.
