Rafael had intended to mention the person behind Yuvan’s actions, but upon reflection, he chose to hold back. He didn’t want to plant wild suspicions in Chester’s mind.

Instead, he said, “At the time, there was no concrete evidence. If Prince Yuvan had been killed without cause, the king would have earned the reputation of mercilessly slaying his own kin.
