Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 759

The Quinton family had navigated the political landscape for many years, and they were now in their prime. Malcolm had gained significant favor during the reign of King Sigmund. He prided himself on understanding the late king's intentions, yet he couldn't grasp the current king's mindset.

He couldn't understand why Salvador would appoint Carissa as Mystic Army's commander. This position was critical. If the Hell Monarch and his people had treasonous intentions, the power that came with that role was considerable.

Thus, he convened a family meeting, where he imposed strict measures and expressed his dissatisfaction with Carissa.

"Causing such a commotion will turn the noble families of the capital upside down. I fear it may lead to wrongful accusations. I never realized she was such an impatient and self-serving person. She made an example out of Prince Yuvan's household right off the bat—how can we expect her to show any mercy to the other families? It's simply absurd."

Felix and Logan were also present. They considered defending Carissa, but before they could speak, Malcolm shot them a cold look.

"You need to be more cautious. That applies especially to you, Logan, as you're married to a royal family member. Princess Kiera is the Hell Monarch's younger sister. You must be careful of what you say and do in her presence. Who knows where her loyalties truly lie?"

Logan had no choice but to reply, "Uncle Malcolm, please rest assured. I can withstand any test from the princess, and I believe Commander Sinclair is not acting recklessly."

"What do you know?" Malcolm frowned deeply. "The fact that she started this today shows she has no regard for anyone's reputation. The king might not act against her for now, but this kind of chaos is humiliating for all the families involved, especially ours. How can we let her trample on our family like this?"

With the Quinton family's current status, they weren't easily challenged.

Logan wanted to say more, but Felix stopped him. After the family meeting ended, the two of them stepped outside.

Logan asked, "Why didn't you let me speak, Felix? I believe Lady Carissa isn't making a scene for no reason. If Grand Princess Eleanor truly is plotting treason, she must have allies by now."

Felix replied, "Do you think Uncle Malcolm isn't aware of this? To put it bluntly, it's because the person investigating the noble families is Lady Carissa. If it were Prince Rafael, Uncle Malcolm would certainly have a different stance."
