Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 796

Malcolm shifted uncomfortably, as if sitting on pins and needles, but he still managed to ask, "Your Highness, what will His Majesty do with these women?"

Rafael replied, "You should ask Commander Sinclair. She's in charge of this matter."

Malcolm awkwardly turned to Carissa, his gaze evasive. "If I may ask, Commander Sinclair…"

Carissa cut him off, answering directly, "Lord Lionel has already spoken to me. I've informed him that the families can either keep the women or send them to the Capital Guard for centralized supervision. It's up to you, Lord Malcolm. If you choose to keep them yourself, they cannot leave the capital or have contact with anyone else since the mastermind behind the treason case hasn't been identified yet."

Upon hearing this, Malcolm let out a small sigh of relief and inquired, "If we hand them over to the Capital Guard, where will they be taken?"

"We're currently reaching out to various convents in the capital to find one large enough to accommodate them. The funds seized from the Marquis of Grovehill's family and Eleanor will cover the expenses."

"A convent?" Malcolm rubbed his knees with both hands, a thoughtful expression on his face. "That means the conditions won't be very good."

"Basic needs will be met, but if you're expecting luxury, you'll be disappointed," Carissa stated.

After a pause, she added, "But this is only temporary. Once the treason case is resolved, they will be free to leave."

"So, as long as the case remains unresolved, they'll have to stay in the convent."

"Exactly. However, if you're reluctant to part with her, you could keep her under your care, but any issues that arise will be your responsibility."

Malcolm shook his head. "I won't keep her."

"If that's your decision, we will take her away. But I remember you have a daughter with Casey. Do you plan to bring her home or have her follow Casey to the convent?"
