All Chapters of Her Graceful War Song: Chapter 711 - Chapter 720

The newcomers reeked of filth. Among them were two who seemed utterly mad. They rushed forward to grab the fresh fruit from the offering table, gnawing at it as if they were starving.A few others were so weak that they could only lie on the ground. Their faces were pale and drawn, indicating they had been ill for a long time.Just as the onlookers were trying to comprehend the identities of these unfortunate souls, another group was ushered in.Even before they entered, the stench hit those already in the room. It was nauseating, the foul odor reminiscent of rotting flesh. Molly covered her nose with a handkerchief and retreated to a corner, trying to distance herself from the horrid smell.The high priests opened their eyes. Upon seeing the limping women brought in—missing limbs, battered, and broken—a short prayer slipped from their lips. The high priests were compassionate and had a high level of spiritual practice. Despite that, the sight of such suffering stirred their ange

In Harmony Palace, several matriarchs and Rosalind gradually left, leaving only Natalie behind. With so many women in need of treatment, it was essential to have someone in charge, especially since Eleanor had yet to be captured.After Barrett and the others finished their treatment, they waited for the capital and garrison guards to complete their work before sending them back. They were placed on the elevated platform, separated from the women in the building.Once Michael had dealt with the household soldiers and secured the servants of Harmony Palace, he gathered the stewards in one place. He ensured the situation was under control before turning his attention to Barrett and his group."How are you holding up?" Michael asked.Among the five, two were severely injured. Their bleeding had been staunched, but they remained in critical condition. The household physician had advised against moving them, so they were covered with thick blankets. Barrett and the other two had also sus

Seeing the serious expression on Rafael's face, everyone sensed he had discovered something significant in the western courtyard.Rafael sat down, and Carissa quickly poured him some water. "Here, drink something. I'll have someone bring you the food we've got warming on the stove."He must be starving after going without food or drink in the dungeon overnight.Rafael gulped down the water, his throat as dry as a desert.Once Carissa had given her orders, she hurried back to the study.Before anyone could ask, Rafael spoke up, "Carissa, your uncle and his family are all safe. Fortunately, they didn't suffer any harm or beatings. They were just frightened from being locked in the dungeon."Carissa's eyes widened. "So, my uncle was really captured?""Yes, and it was a good thing he was there. Otherwise, his wife and children would have been scared half to death."Rafael poured himself another cup of water and downed it before continuing, "Most of the people in the dungeon were

Salvador had certainly not anticipated uncovering such treasonous material. He had thought it would only be some vile secrets from the inner palace, but this was far beyond that. He initially wanted to intervene, yet he hesitated to issue a direct order regarding the affairs of Harmony Palace. Thus, he had opted to subtly influence things during the Emberfest Festival.Salvador wasn't entirely sure anyone would take action against Eleanor that night, but the recent rumors had been rampant. Whispers claimed that Samuel's courtesan was the daughter of a concubine from Eleanor's household. After sending people to investigate, Salvador learned that Henry had dealings with the Lester family, a prominent merchant clan in the city. Coincidentally, one of the Lester family's daughters had visited Hell Monarch Estate several times.These fragmented pieces of information didn't paint a complete picture, but as in previous years, Eleanor had invited high priests to pray at Harmony Palace du

Rafael pretended to be in deep thought before replying, "As for the military generals, I currently have no suspects."Though Salvador found that answer unsatisfactory, he didn't lose his temper."The Supreme Court will investigate this case. I will assign people to look into the other matters separately.""Yes, Your Majesty."Salvador began to roll the emerald ring on his thumb. "You mentioned before that you don't plan to have children anytime soon, right?""That's right. We have no plans at the moment.""I see," Salvador replied thoughtfully. "Carissa is the deputy commander of the Mystic Army. Since you've taken on the role of Chief Judge, I intend to promote her to the position of commander of the Mystic Army."Rafael was taken aback. "You mean, with actual power?""Exactly. She'll assume the position with immediate effect."Rafael hesitated before saying, "But while there are precedents for female generals in our court, there are no examples of women holding such official
