Carissa knew that going out at night with a weapon and being aware of a potential attack on the Warren family

would undoubtedly raise Salvador’s suspicions. Although she was the deputy commander of the Mystic Army,

her position was largely ceremonial, and it was not appropriate to carry weapons at night or to know the

whereabouts of assassins.

Salvador would suspect her, and by extension, Rafael, of having a network of spies.

Carissa looked up and spoke directly, “Your Majesty, as you're aware, my family was massacred by spies. Since

Ryan was found, | have been worried day and night about his safety. So, | asked my guild senior to assign a few

people to keep an eye on suspicious individuals who enter the capital.

“A few days ago, we discovered that ssuspicious individuals with strong martial arts skills had checked into

Prestige Lodge. They didn’t leave their rooms. It was as if they were plotting something. | was concerned they

might be targeting Ryan, so | had people keep them under close surveillance.

“Sure enough, that night, they dressed in dark clothing and jumped out of a window on the second floor of

Prestige Lodge. But instead of heading to Hell Monarch Estate, we discovered that they seemed to be heading

towards Sparrow Street.

“Since the prminister and royal chancellor's residences are in that area, | feared they might attempt an

assassination on high-ranking officials. | immediately followed them, only to find they were not going to Sparrow

Street, but heading straight for Valor Estate.”

Salvador listened to her explanation with a smile, but his eyes remained sharp.

“Given your past grievances with the Warren family, why were you still willing to cto their aid?” he asked.

“Ultimately, it was a matter of human life. Also, | hold no deep-seated grudge against the Warren family.

Moreover, as deputy commander of the Mystic Army, it is impossible forto stand by and watch without

intervening.”

Salvador nodded slightly. “Your explanation is reasonable. However, did you know the assassins were targeting

Aurora?”

‘At the time, | didn’t know. After | severed the assassins’ tendons, Mr. Gregory tied them up. Since Mr. Brown had

arrived with the Capital Guards by then, I left shortly

after,” Carissa replied.

Salvador sighed slowly. “I see. It’s a pity the assassins were killed, so we can’t find out who was behind them.

From your encounter with them, did you discern any leads?”

Carissa thought for a moment, then shook her head. “I couldn't tell which guild they were from. The people |

know are from reputable guilds and rarely use such ruthless, sword techniques.”

Salvador furrowed his brow. “How many blows did you exchange with them?”

Carissa hesitated, then replied, “I lost count, but it was probably around twenty or

thirty moves.”

She didn’t want to mention how quickly she had subdued the assassins, but it was likely that the Royal Citadel

had already investigated. The matter could not be hidden, so she could only tell the truth.

Salvador’s eyes held a hint of admiration as he said, “In just twenty or thirty moves, you managed to sever their

tendons? Even fighting together, Barrett and Aurora couldn't restrain the assassins and ended up losing several

people in their estate. Carissa, your skills are far superior to theirs. If you were a man, you could certainly follow

in your father’s footsteps and beca renowned general.”

Carissa shook her head. “I only wish to accompany Ryan as he grows up. He is my only blood relative now.”

As Carissa spoke, she kept her eyes lowered, so she didn’t notice the mixture of relief and regret in Salvador’s

gaze.

If she were a man, she would undoubtedly have beca renowned general like her father. Even as a woman,

she could still manage the Hell Monarch Army and Sinclair Army. Yet, she was the beloved of Salvador’s brother.

Rafael had gone to great lengths to marry her, thus stifling her potential to soar and be in control of military

matters.

The position of deputy commander of the Mystic Army was a mark of her status, but fortunately, she was

sensible and did not misuse this role.

Salvador gazed at her delicate face. “I know that Rafael has established his household soldiers, and their

instructor is an apprentice from a Meadow Ridge guild, right? Also, the young woman from the Spencer family,

who is an apprentice of the Inferno Guild, is staying with you, correct?”

Carissa replied, “Yes, Your Majesty. The instructor's nis Travis. He once fought alongsideat the Southern

Frontier, and you awarded him a hundred gold coins. His guild consists entirely of women who live in difficult

conditions, so his master sent him to the capital to seek employment and support the guild. As for Violet

Spencer, she’s an old friend from my youth and is temporarily staying in the capital to keepcompany.”

Salvador nodded. “It’s fine. | was just asking casually. You may leave now.”

Carissa saluted. “Yes, Your Majesty. I'll take my leave.”

After leaving the royal study, she let out a small sigh of relief. It was fortunate that she had personally gone to

Valor Estate.

If Violet and Travis had gone instead, Salvador might have beceven more suspicious since they all lived in

Hell Monarch Estate. After all, martial artists carrying weapons and moving about at night was against the law.
