Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1248

Jeremiah bowed in respect and said, "Your Majesty's command is one I dare not disregard. After all, I am but a humble servant. However, Lady Carissa is here to visit Lord Gerald, and there is no personal enmity between them. I do not foresee any dispute."

In front of the thousand-year-old fox, Kylie was no more than a young weasel—with ill intentions but clumsy methods.

Using her position as queen, Kylie boldly plotted against Carissa. She was fully aware that it could cost her grandfather his life, yet she showed no concern at all.

Contrary to Carissa's expectations, Jeremiah was indeed willing to testify and would argue on her behalf with reason.

He cast a cold glance at the Quinton family. "Ah, a fine group of devoted descendants. Lord Gerald should have no regrets."

Anyone who understood the situation lowered their heads, too afraid to meet Jeremiah's gaze.

Before Carissa could speak, Marjorie stood up. "Commander Sinclair, thank you for bringing Mr. Dalton to treat my father-in-law. Your kindness is truly appreciated."

Kylie clearly hadn't expected her mom to speak up, and her expression darkened in an instant.

"Mom, it is enough for the royal physician to attend to grandfather. A village physician like this has no business treating him."

She knew that Sebastian was proud, and by insulting him, he would likely leave in a huff. If she could best Carissa at this moment, she wouldn't care if she offended Sebastian.

But the Quinton family members, realizing the implications, shifted uneasily. The medicine Gerald had used in the past had often come from Arcane Sanctum, and with such a large family, they regularly relied on Sebastian's expertise.

Sebastian's skills were even beyond the chief physician in the Royal Medical Department. If the Quinton family offended him, who would be able to call upon his services in the future?

They expected Sebastian to take offense, but to their surprise, he only smiled.

"To be called a village physician by Her Majesty—what an honor. At least I'm a physician recognized by the queen herself."

"Didn't Lord Gerald want to see me? Please lead the way," Carissa said, dismissing the need for further pleasantries. "I dare not disobey Her Majesty's command, but I'm sure the king and queen won't object to me bringing Mr. Dalton in with me."

Carissa's words were clear—she had only come out of respect for Salvador.

"Show her the way," Kylie said calmly.
