Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1138

Isaac didn't respond, focusing instead on drinking in silence. His bottle was empty in a few swigs, and he reached for Violet's. She figured he had drunk enough, so no matter how much he insisted, she wouldn't let him take it. Soon, the two of them were chasing each other around the top of Glimmering Tower, the earlier tension forgotten.

Violet never did tell Carissa about their conversation, though she hadn't promised to keep Isaac's secret. He didn't want people to know, and had treated her as a good friend when he confided in her. It wasn't her place to spread rumors and stir up trouble—that wasn't how people of the martial arts world behaved.

But lately, Isaac had been seen lingering around Silverstone Estate, drawing the attention of the Garrison Unit.

Max told Carissa, who found it strange. Why did Isaac keep going to that place? Did he know someone there?

Later that evening, when they sat down to eat, Carissa couldn't help but ask, "Isaac, what have you been busy with lately?"

Isaac looked up. "Nothing, just wandering around."

"Around Silverstone Estate?" she pressed.

Isaac's gaze shot over to Violet, who froze and quickly defended herself, "I haven't told her anything."

Carissa studied the two of them—one looked angry, the other looked innocent. It almost seemed like they were hiding something.

She was about to ask when Rafael served her more food. "Have more to eat."

"The other night, those two went to Glimmering Tower for drinks. They were laughing and shouting, making all sorts of noise," Kyle said casually.

Carissa looked at them with wide eyes. "Was that the night he said he wanted to show you something?"

Violet shook her head. "There was no shouting or laughing. He just kept trying to steal my drink."

Isaac shot Kyle a suspicious look, immediately panicking. "How do you know all this? Were you following us? Did you eavesdrop? How could you do that? How could you follow us?"

"Who followed you? You two were making such a racket—did you think the people downstairs were deaf?" Kyle eyed him suspiciously. "Why are you so nervous? It's not like you did anything shameful. Or is it that you two-"
