Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 789

After a thorough comparison, they found that the armor from Harmony Palace was actually made with better materials and craftsmanship than the Ministry of Defense's armor.

The battle gear made for generals was especially impressive. When tested in Salvador's study, the armor withstood several blows without any damage, while the blades of the swords chipped instead.

However, the ballistae tested were deemed a lower quality than the Ministry of Defense's, which slightly eased Salvador's anger.

At least it proved one thing—Cecilia hadn't lied. She hadn't stolen the designs for the ballistae or armor, as the two were clearly distinct. Still, Gareth was likely to face repercussions. It was unacceptable for him to let such critical weapon blueprints leak.

Fortunately, Salvador had not changed his stance on the concubines' daughters, and was quite supportive of Carissa's proposal for their unified supervision. After all, those women had indeed been manipulated, and no real harm had come to anyone. By doing this, he could earn a reputation for benevolence.

As for Celeste, whose actions had thrown the Earl of Gracehold's family into chaos, Salvador had weighed the matter carefully. Ultimately, Samuel's lack of decisiveness was to blame. So many women had entered noble families without causing too much upheaval, yet only the Earl of Gracehold's family had been turned upside down. So, they would bear a significant share of the responsibility for that.

With those decisions made, Carissa finally let out a sigh of relief.

Salvador dismissed Davis and the others, keeping Carissa behind for a private discussion. His eyes showed no signs of fatigue. He seemed to have boundless energy for the treason case.

"Commander Sinclair," he said, his tone serious. "I have a question for you, and I need you to answer truthfully."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Carissa replied, steeling herself.

Salvador regarded her with the penetrating gaze of authority, filled with pressure. "Who do you think is behind Eleanor?"

Carissa immediately felt apprehensive. Rafael had asked this question before, and Salvador was also clearly looking into it.

Why bring it up now?
