Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 927

After her bath, Carissa dismissed everyone and draped herself over Rafael's shoulder like a lazy, weak cat.

"I heard you went to the Ministry of Justice today."

"Yeah. They were interrogating Aurora. I reviewed the testimony, but it's the same old story. They'll continue questioning her tonight."

"Has she confessed to everything?"

"From what we know, yes, but there's something in her confession that implicates Grandfather. She insists it was his orders that led to the massacre of the villages."

Carissa's eyes went cold. "So, now it's about making her change her statement, not getting a confession."

Rafael nodded. "That's what I requested, and the Ministry of Justice is cooperating."

"She's blaming my grandpa by claiming she was just following orders and that she wasn't the mastermind," Carissa hissed.

Rafael's expression hardened. "She thinks as long as she's not the mastermind, she can escape death. But don't worry, I won't let her get away with it. Her testimony alone isn't enough. When they went to Victory Pass, Grandfather was shot with arrows twice. The first time was during the first battle they encountered, and the second when they were heading to Fawnrun City. At the time, Grandfather was unconscious. How could he have given her any orders?"

"She's cornered and desperate, but we'll overturn her testimony no matter what. Will her cousin, Zeke, be brought in tomorrow?" Carissa asked.

"Everything's been handled. They'll be questioning him tonight as well, but I returned early. The Ministry of Justice is still interrogating. Don't worry, I'll go back there personally tomorrow."

"Alright."

Carissa felt Zeke, who was with Aurora during the Fawnrun City incident, might be their key. Whether she acted under orders or on her own, he could testify to that.

The next day, Rafael first went to the Supreme Court, then to the Ministry of Justice.

With the matter settled, Carissa returned to the Capital Guard headquarters. After a quick glance at the duty roster, she summoned Michael and a few others to make sure nothing urgent required her attention.

When she was certain there were no pressing matters, she instructed, "If anything important comes up in the next few days, look for me at Hell Monarch Estate. If it's not urgent, handle it yourselves as you see fit."

Michael nodded. "Don't worry, Commander Sinclair. The preparations for the Westhaven envoy's arrival are nearly complete. There shouldn't be any major issues for now. Please attend to your other matters."

Carissa turned her gaze to Max. "Keep your men in check. During the Westhaven envoy's visit, make sure they don't cause any trouble."

"Understood," Max replied. "The Garrison Unit is currently undergoing evaluations as per your instructions. Anyone failing the assessment will be dismissed. Many of them aren't part of the Mystic Army to begin with, so it doesn't matter if they're removed."

"Good," Carissa said, rising to her feet. "That's all for now. You're dismissed."
