Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1352

For several days, Carissa had attended the court meetings. In doing so, she began to understand the truth behind Jeremiah's words—that in matters of state, everyone had their own opinion, each with its own merit. The debates went on endlessly, with no clear direction given.

Arguments were made for and against, yet nothing was resolved.

Carissa felt she could no longer be a part of these discussions. Over the past few days, she had been swept up in the tide of conflicting opinions, unsure of which step to take next.

Moreover, Salvador's health had not improved. He continued to cough persistently, trying to hold his composure despite his weakening body.

Some people took advantage of the situation and suggested it was time to designate the crown prince. It was brought up by a group of young officials, students of Malcolm, who had been won over by Kylie.

They had been working hard to support Connor. Seeing Salvador's worsening health and the growing troubles both inside and outside the kingdom, they suggested it was time to settle the matter of the succession sooner rather than later.

Malcolm was livid, his face turning a shade of red with anger. Despite his strong objections in front of Salvador, it only made people think he was trying to retreat strategically or distance himself from the issue.

The whole situation pushed Salvador to the brink of collapse, leaving everyone in a state of chaos and confusion, desperately scrambling to resolve the mess.

Seeking a way to remove herself from the chaos, Carissa made an excuse to focus on military training and withdrew from the court discussions.

She returned to speak with Jacob and Kyle about the matter.

Jacob furrowed his brow and said, "Isn't the queen under house arrest? How can she still be stirring up trouble? If she's making a fuss at a time like this, she's only throwing herself and the Quinton family into danger."

Carissa had little interest in the Quinton family and Kylie, but it was undeniable that what had once been a unified court was now being divided by this issue.

Kyle spoke up. "I have a suspicion. What if the one pushing to name the crown prince now is actually Prince Nicholas? The people the queen has gathered—could they be his people instead? He's always been good at winning people over."

Jacob thought for a moment.
