Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 787

However, Lionel still felt a gnawing unease. Even if they managed to keep this under wraps from outsiders, there was no way to hide it from those within the household. With so many people around, the news would surely reach his grandfather and mom.

So, Lionel turned to his uncle and said, "Uncle Herbert, I'm going to speak to Carissa directly about this. I need to know where her information came from. If she merely heard some idle gossip from outsiders and felt bold enough to claim that Dad has a mistress, I won't let this matter go."

"Alright. Go, quickly!" Herbert urged.

What others thought didn't concern him, but Herbert didn't believe for a moment that his brother was capable of such a thing. The Quinton family's teachings were a heavy weight on their shoulders, and as the current head of the family, Malcolm would never be foolish enough to engage in such behavior.

Lionel rode swiftly to the Capital Guard's headquarters, only to learn that Carissa had been summoned to the palace. Though he lacked the privilege to enter the palace at will, he could report his intention to see his sister, the queen. With that, Kylie's people would come to escort him in.

He quickly inquired if Carissa was in the palace. Upon confirming she was still inside, he instructed someone to inform Kylie and request that she send for Carissa.

When he arrived at Everspring Palace to see Kylie, he wasted no time and said, "Carissa is in the royal study. Please send someone to fetch her."

"What's going on?" Kylie asked, sensing the gravity in her brother's demeanor.

Carissa's role in assisting the Supreme Court with the treason investigation was a delicate matter. Did it somehow involve the Quinton family?

"Just send someone," Lionel insisted.
