Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1366

Yuvan and Harvey were escorted out of the city gates, with Wayne personally seeing them off.

Harvey had expected that once they handed over Yuvan, Wayne would order his release. But when the soldiers from the Capital Army moved forward to seize them, Wayne didn't utter a word.

A wave of panic surged within Harvey. He struggled against his restraints and glanced at Wayne, his eyes screaming for an explanation.

Wayne gave him a small, reassuring nod, signaling for him to stay calm. Yet, something felt wrong. After all, Wayne had promised that only Yuvan would be handed over.

So, why was Harvey being turned over as well?

Could it be... Could it be that they are going to abandon him?!

A sense of dread tightened in Harvey's chest.

"I'm innocent!" he pleaded desperately. "I captured Yuvan. Release me!"

Thomas cast a cold, dismissive glance at him. "What a fool!"

"Wayne!" Harvey's heart plunged like it had fallen into an icy abyss. His expression shifted from anger to helplessness. "Wayne, you know I'm innocent! I never rebelled. Please, tell General Farrell the truth!"

Wayne lowered his gaze, his voice calm but firm. "I trust that our king will see through everything, Your Highness. He will know who is guilty and who is innocent. You needn't worry."

He placed special emphasis on the words "our king", which gave Harvey a shred of hope for a fleeting moment.

Yes, once Clifford's forces arrived, they would turn the tables. The Capital Army would be trapped in Valken, and he would escape. But why hadn't Wayne warned him about this?

Despite his rising anxiety, Harvey tried to comfort himself. He knew that with everything they had done, if Wayne wanted to abandon him, Wayne could have just killed him. Why let him fall into Thomas' hands? Why take the risk of letting him talk about Clifford's plan to surround the city?

Harvey glanced at Wayne again, who gave him a brief, subtle nod. This small gesture eased Harvey's mind somewhat. After all, the Capital Army could never leave Valken. There was no reason to doubt Wayne.
