Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1324

Salvador’s investigation matched Winona’s findings.

Nicholas had not left his fief; he spent almost every day taking his wife and children to see plays or listen to music.

In Nerovia, there were a few orphanages that Nicholas had established. They were dedicated to caring for orphans and the elderly who had nowhere else to turn. He would often attend a play and then visit one of these orphanages afterward.

However, Winona uncovered something that Salvador had missed.

It was the fact that Nicholas had once saved Eustace’s life.

This event occurred seven or eight years ago, when Eustace was not yet the head of the Spencer family. He had been ambushed during a routine inspection of his estates. By chance, Nicholas and his men had passed by, and he rescued Eustace from certain death.

Nicholas was a modest man, and he had no desire for recognition or further dealings with the Spencer family. He had asked Eustace not to make a public fuss over the incident. To Nicholas, saving someone’s life was simply a matter of doing what was right, not something that required repayment.

At the time of the ambush, almost everyone with Eustace had been killed. Only Eustace and his trusted bodyguard, Marvin, had survived. Interestingly, Winona had helped Marvin once when he was attacked while escorting goods. So when Winona investigated and spoke to Marvin, the latter told her this old
