Her Majestic Battle Cry

3/3

Chapter 1300

Oliver’s sudden flight not only shattered the morale of the troops but also left Louis, Timothy, and the others feeling deeply disheartened and demoralized.

Had Oliver stayed and died here, the effect wouldn’t have been nearly as disastrous.

Meanwhile, rumors spread quickly throughout the Southern Frontier. It seemed someone was deliberately stirring the pot, creating panic and undermining the soldiers‘ spirits. If Sandoria claimed victory in the first battle, it would be a crushing blow, and the Southern Frontier Army would likely be on the defensive from then on.

An urgent dispatch was sent to the capital, racing to deliver news of the crisis.

Before the dispatch could even reach the capital, Salvador was the first to realize that Rafael had gone missing.

On the fifth day of Rafael’s sudden illness, Salvador sent Robert and Derek to visit Hell Monarch Estate once more.

Jacob originally planned to stick to the story that Rafael had gone to Sebastian’s villa to recuperate. On second thought, Salvador had sent the royal physician again just a few days later, even though he knew Rafael’s condition was improving under Sebastian’s care.

Clearly, Salvador’s doubts hadn’t been put to rest.

Since Salvador still had doubts, simply claiming that Rafael was at Sebastian’s villa wouldn’t suffice. Robert could go there, and if Rafael wasn’t found, it would only raise more suspicion. So, Jacob told Robert and Derek that Rafael had left for Meadow Ridge the previous day to rest and recuperate.

Salvador wouldn’t believe this, but Jacob knew he wouldn’t send anyone to investigate either. He would only grow increasingly suspicious, likely wondering if Rafael was plotting something in secret–or even worse, if he was taking advantage of the chaos during Yuvan’s rebellion to make a move
