All Chapters of Her Graceful War Song: Chapter 1471 - Chapter 1480

"If Sebastian is willing to enter the palace, he will surely do everything in his power," Carissa said softly.Victoria's gaze became distant, and soon, tears began to fall. "He can try his hardest, but even with all his effort, there may be no hope. Now, I only wish for His Majesty to live long enough to set things in order, to secure the future of the kingdom."Seeing her cry, Carissa couldn't help but feel sorrow as well. She had once heard her mom speak of Victoria as a woman of great strength, someone who wouldn't shed a tear even in the face of the greatest challenges. Tears from her were precious, and now, seeing them fall made everything feel heavier.Carissa didn't know how to offer comfort. It seemed that what Victoria needed wasn't soothing words, but quiet companionship. So, Carissa sat by her side in silence.-Meanwhile, Rafael had gone to Arcane Sanctum, where he found Sebastian already prepared. After Rafael and Carissa had been summoned to the palace, Jacob had go

Salvador remained silent for a moment before giving his orders, commanding that the side hall be prepared for Sebastian. Physicians from the Royal Medical Department were assigned to serve him, while Kevin and Galen were tasked with protecting him and accompanying him wherever he went.Salvador knew that Kevin was Violet's apprentice, so by putting him in charge of Sebastian's protection, the king was offering a layer of reassurance to the physician. But Salvador himself also needed reassurance, which was why he sent Galen as well.He also issued a royal edict: the entire Royal Medical Department was to follow Sebastian's orders as law. It was an extraordinary amount of authority to grant, but in truth, Salvador's intent was clear—he wanted all medicines to come from the department's stock.Sebastian didn't concern himself with such matters. So long as his instructions were carried out, he was satisfied.Yet, Salvador's selection of Kevin and Galen spoke volumes. He did not even tr

Salvador sat in silence for a long while, his expression gradually turning solemn. "Healer Dalton says I have three years left to live. The royal physicians once told me I had a year, yet it turned out to be only half that. I've come to realize that whenever physicians predict my lifespan, I must cut it in half. So, at best, I may have a year and a half… perhaps not even that.""Your Majesty, do not despair—"Salvador raised a hand, silencing him. "Listen to me. My mind is clear. I am not muddled. The matter of succession must be settled, and swiftly. However, I don't know whom to name. The future king will require a regent for years, and the prime minister is growing old. I don't trust anyone with the kingdom's future… except you."Rafael said nothing. He knew well that his brother's trust and suspicion came in unpredictable waves, never following reason or pattern.Salvador continued, "I have three sons. Since my eldest son was born of my queen, there should be no question of suc

Rafael noticed the weariness in Salvador's expression, and with Derek having taken the reports back, he decided it was time to speak."Your Majesty, I have a matter to request your approval for."Salvador glanced up. "What is it?"Rafael's gaze was cool and distant. "I wish to visit Everspring Palace."At once, Salvador's mind raced. He knew exactly what this was about. The consequences of this matter had almost cost Irvin his life.Salvador didn't want to deal with it but simply nodded. "Go, then."Rafael promptly took his leave, making his way to Everspring Palace.Kylie was well aware of his visit and had someone summon him in. She knew that Carissa's refusal to allow him to take a secondary wife was driven by jealousy and selfishness. But men, as Kylie saw it, were never quite the same as women. No matter how loudly they proclaimed otherwise, men always had their flaws.Salvador, diligent as he was, hardly visited the harem. However, that didn't mean he was above it. Didn't

Marjorie entered the palace with a quiet determination, having been sent by Malcolm to make his position clear.Kylie's fury flared when she learned that her father intended to remain neutral."I've always supported our family when asked, without hesitation. But now, when I need help, you all retreat. I don't understand. If Connor becomes king, doesn't that benefit the Quinton family? Does Dad really believe everything will be smooth sailing for our family in the future?" Kylie said, her voice sharp, her eyes cold.Marjorie sighed. "Your dad wishes to remain a loyal subject, to follow His Majesty's wishes."Kylie's anger was so intense that she almost barked a laugh. "A joke! He's knee-deep in filth and still dares to talk of loyalty? Why didn't he say that sooner? It would have saved me from being sent into this royal family, left to fight and struggle all alone.""Your dad's private life may be in question, but in his years of service in the Civil Department, he has served the t
