All Chapters of Her Graceful War Song: Chapter 1311 - Chapter 1320

Astral Prison was located within the Supreme Court, but was not under its jurisdiction. Those held there were typically the worst offenders, members of royal families, or influential officials.Being sentenced to Astral Prison often spoke volumes about the severity of one's crime. Few were ever released unscathed.Zoey could only hope for a sentence of exile. At least that might spare their lives. She had sent Cedric to train with Travis for this very reason—so that he might develop a strong enough body to endure the harsh journey to their place of exile, with hopes of returning to the capital once the pardon came.As long as they survived, she had plans for the future.On the other hand, Viola could hardly believe what had befallen her. She had been peacefully residing at the family's countryside villa when guards from the Royal Citadel arrived to take her away. She had been thrown into Astral Prison without explanation.At first, she was in a daze. Only when Evelyn rushed to her

The following morning, Irvin brought the matter before the court.Jeremiah nodded in approval and said, "I've heard of Mrs. Prince's good deed of setting up the food distribution stall. It's rare for a woman, confined to the inner chambers of the household, to have such a chance to do good. Yet, despite her circumstances, she has remained true to her heart, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. "It's something worthy of praise and should be spread far and wide to set an example for the people. Though, it's truly regrettable that such a virtuous woman should be dragged down by her husband and trapped in Astral Prison, her fate uncertain."Malcolm stepped forward and added, "The common people have been speaking of nothing else these past few days, and many are speaking out in support of Mrs. Prince. "Your Majesty, I believe that while Mr. Prince's actions are unforgivable, punishing his family by stripping their titles and confiscating their property is already enough. I urge y

The people Rafael suspected were Hayden and his son Nicholas, with a particular focus on the latter. After all, Hayden led a very reclusive life and hardly interacted with anyone.If there was anyone Hayden interacted with frequently, it was Carissa and Rafael. Normally, Hayden and Chaya would eat, drink, and have fun at home. Even when they went out, it was all about eating, drinking, and enjoying themselves. Their life motto was simply to eat, drink, play, and have fun.The last time Carissa visited, Chaya had put on quite a bit of weight. Even Hayden seemed to have gained about seven to eight pounds. Chaya's chin was now a bit more prominent when she smiled.After several days of fruitless investigation, Carissa decided to pay them a visit in person, taking Violet along with her.Hayden was delighted to see them and immediately turned to Chaya. "Yesterday, I caught a large carp myself. Use it to prepare sashimi, but remember to drain all the blood. I don't like any red left in

Alec arrived to report the casualties from the first battle: 356 dead, and 1,732 injured.The mood among the officers immediately plunged back to the freezing point.They had been tasked with defending the city, with archers stationed on the walls. But even with their defensive advantage, the Sandorians had managed to deploy their siege ladders and hurl stones, causing so much loss of life and injury.This wasn't even a full-scale siege—the Sandorians were simply testing their strength and the teamwork of the Southern Frontier Army.It was clear that the Sandorians understood the situation. They weren't rushing to deploy their full forces. Instead, they were playing a psychological game, careful not to provoke a decisive battle just yet. The Southern Frontier Army, despite their diminished morale, would fight fiercely once their lives were at stake.But if these probing attacks continued, the casualties would steadily rise. Ultimately, the psychological toll would break the Sout

A bowl of chicken noodle soup was placed before Rafael, but it was nowhere near enough to fill the emptiness in his stomach.Louis mentioned that he had ordered roasted lamb and skewers, and that there was no shortage of rich food now. It was nothing like the days when the Southern Frontier was struggling. Even the common folk could afford meat these days.Rafael shakily picked up the bowl and drank the soup in one go. The broth was salty, and he followed it with a whole jug of water. Slumping into his chair, he felt his strength gradually returning, though there was still an odd sensation, as if he were still bouncing on horseback. The faces around him seemed to blur and retreat. He had to focus to make out their features.Alec's voice cracked with emotion. "Your Highness, you look utterly exhausted."Rafael rubbed his cheek. "Have the medic give me needle treatment for my face. It feels like it's been blown off-kilter."Everyone took a closer look and indeed noticed that Rafae
