Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 791

Kylie's voice cut through the tension, "How did you investigate this? If you can share it with His Majesty, then you can share it with me. I refuse to believe my dad could be that kind of man."

Carissa met her gaze firmly. "Your Majesty, perhaps you should ask your dad directly. This involves a treason case. While I can share the outcome with you because it directly concerns your dad, revealing the details of our investigation to you might not be wise, as this is a matter of state."

Kylie was stunned.

Carissa was right—Kylie shouldn't pry into the investigation. It was forbidden for the women of the royal harem to interfere in political affairs. Given that the Quinton family was at the height of its power and she was the queen, whose actions were closely watched and scrutinized, any mistake could be magnified.

Lionel furrowed his brow. How was he supposed to approach his dad about this? He didn't even know whether the claim was true. So, even if his dad dismissed it as a lie, a nagging doubt would remain in his heart.

"Commander Sinclair, if you can't tell Her Majesty, you can at least confide in me. I have no intention of interfering with your investigation. But since this concerns my family, I want to know the source of your information. That seems reasonable enough."

Carissa thought about it for a while, but Kylie stood up before she could respond.

"I'll take my leave for now. You two continue your discussion."

Having said that, Kylie waved for Lydia to follow her, and they both retreated into the inner hall.

As she took a sip of coffee to soothe her throat, Carissa looked into Lionel's eyes, which held a mix of earnestness and fear.

"The concubines' daughters from Eleanor's household were placed with various families and kept under supervision. If the biological mothers of the women who had been placed years ago died, Eleanor ignored them because she knew she wouldn't be able to control them anymore. For them, we found information through other means, as many of Eleanor's people had been replaced over the years.
