Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 1105

Wayne felt a headache coming on. His thoughts clouded with irritation at Yuvan's blind obsession.

Wayne had thought this matter was nearly settled. He had expected a smooth departure from the capital, only to have Yuvan insist on a new arrangement. Yuvan even sent some of the suicide soldiers to carry out this task when they were supposed to remain in the city.

What was more, Violet's involvement had completely shattered their plans.

A flicker of anger crossed Wayne's gaze. If Carissa had been eliminated that night and buried quietly, no one would've known. As luck would have it, she had escaped and was now holding Yuvan hostage.

This was not something easily dealt with.

Fortunately, Wayne had already anticipated such a situation and had taken precautions in advance. He was prepared for what would come after the task was completed, and to smooth things over with the Spencer family.

But now… No matter how this played out, it would cause a significant rift with the Spencers and make future dealings difficult.

Carissa's heart seethed with frustration, her eyes burning with rage as she glared at the two county duchesses hidden in the carriage. This vile man—Yuvan—didn't even move his daughters away. He was brazenly attempting to violate Violet while they were around!

Fiona was a lost cause, and Molly wasn't much better.

They were all scum!

"Lady Carissa, please don't misunderstand. Ms. Spencer is Prince Yuvan's cousin-in-law. He couldn't possibly have improper intentions. We're leaving the capital. Why would we stir up more trouble? This only harms our relationship with the Spencer family," Fiona insisted, trying to placate Carissa.

Her words fell flat, lacking any conviction. But as long as they all stuck to the same story, even if the matter reached the king's ears, it would only result in a mild reprimand—nothing more.

What worried Wayne was Carissa's fury. If she truly killed Yuvan in a fit of rage, it would be a disaster.

Yuvan's voice rang out in protest, "Lady Carissa, you've misunderstood! If you don't believe me, ask Ms. Spencer herself!"

"That's right. You should at least have thanked us, Your Grace! How can you blame us? Where is the logic in that? You're being unreasonable!" Fiona added.

Carissa listened to their words, understanding that they had already prepared for any outcome.

Whether Yuvan had succeeded in his plan or not, they would spin the story to claim that Violet had seduced him while under the effects of the aphrodisiac. He would maintain his righteous stance, claiming he was saving her.

And when the matter grew larger, no one would pay attention to this thinly veiled lie. All the gossip would turn against Violet, and the scandal would bury her.

From how calmly Wayne and Fiora were talking to her, they clearly had no fear of things escalating.

Carissa's heart burned with fury, but as she considered her next move, she forced herself to calm down. She stepped forward, letting the cool night wind brush across her face as a cold smile curled on her lips.

"In that case, I seem to have misjudged His Highness. It turns out he was trying to save the innocent girl. While I don't know her identity, she was kidnapped and drugged—such a sad fate! I'm relieved she has escaped unscathed. It's truly a great comfort to know she's safe now."
