Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 937

The next day, Winona's sources gathered information that after the Westhaven envoys had checked into Concord Lodge the day before, Harvey had secretly returned to his estate. Early this morning, he had disguised himself and left again, apparently mobilizing some people.

Winona thought for a moment, then seemed to understand Harvey's intentions.

"Be careful. If he's working with Leroy, he might try to make a move against you," she said.

Carissa nodded. "Got it."

In fact, Rafael had already informed her the night before, having spotted someone amongst the Westhaven guards who resembled Harvey. So, the two of them had spent the whole night speculating, coming up with various possibilities.

The royal banquet hall glittered under the lights, as bright as daylight, its beams twinkling like stars in the sky.

By the time Rafael and Carissa arrived, the Westhaven envoys had already entered the palace and were seated to the right of the hall. The guards and palace attendants waited outside. As weapons were not permitted inside the palace, the guards weren't armed with swords.

Victoria and Kylie sat at the head of the room. Since the banquet hadn't started yet, they were busy entertaining Lisandra.

Normally, Victoria wouldn't have come, but she heard that the Westhaven grand princess was attending. The queen dowager had a fondness for capable women, so she ignored her persistent cough and insisted on making an appearance.

At the moment, Lisandra and Victoria were deep in conversation. What was surprising to Carissa, however, was that the two of them spoke without needing an interpreter. At times, they used Starhaven's language, Stellish. At other times, they switched to Westhaven's tongue, Westic. It wasn't surprising that Lisandra spoke Stellish, but Carissa hadn't expected Victoria to be fluent in Westic.

Rafael and Carissa entered to pay their respects to Salvador first, then moved on to greet Victoria.

Upon hearing that Carissa was Hector's daughter, Dominic's granddaughter, and had distinguished herself during the Southern Frontier's reconquest, Lisandra couldn't help but study her a little longer. After observing her for a few moments, the grand princess shifted her gaze away, her expression complicated.

The Hell Monarch's household had gathered plenty of information on Lisandra, and the grand princess, in turn, had made inquiries about some important people in Starhaven, especially Carissa and Aurora. The former because of her family background and abilities, and the latter due to her involvement in the massacre at Victory Pass.

When Carissa stepped forward, Lisandra stood up and curtsied to her, her head bowed low, initiating a formal gesture of respect.

"Lady Carissa, the Hell Monarch's princess consort. I've long heard of your esteemed name," Lisandra said in fluent Stellish.
