Carissa handed Helen a pastry with a smile. “Mother, I'm not angry anymore. Please have some.”
Seeing that Carissa had taken the pastry directly with her hands, Helen frowned slightly. Her daughter-in-law
was still rather rough around the edges, wasn’t she?
After hesitating for a moment, Helen accepted the pastry. Well, it wasn’t like she would get sick from eating
something a bit dirty.
The Oversight Department was busy once again as they launched a formal investigation against Samuel. They
accused him of immoral conduct, public insults towards the court, and showing blatant disrespect for royal
authority.
They argued that Samuel was unworthy of being recognized as one of the top scholars, and petitioned the king
to remove his nfrom the National Examination Register. They also called for his removal as the heir to the
title and estate of the Earl of Gracehold.

During the morning court session, Salvador stripped Samuel of his title as heir, but didn’t revoke his status as a
top scholar. It would be too embarrassing to cancel the appointment of someone he personally selected.
Despite this, Salvador was infuriated. He issued a severe reprimand to the Earl of Gracehold and summoned him
to the royal study after court.
As Noah cried and lamented about his failure to properly discipline his son, Salvador said coldly, “This is the last
opportunity I'm giving you. If the duchess suffers even a bit more distress in your household, the Earl of
Gracehold title will end here.”
Noah was utterly dumbfounded. He stood dazed for a moment, suddenly recalling that Leona was the king's
cousin. Even if Harvey and Heather were inept, Salvador still valued family connections.
Feeling disheartened, Noah left the royal study. As he walked out, he caught sight of Rafael waiting at the door.
Recalling the prince’s bloodthirsty and cold expression when Gracehold Estate was vandalized that night, Noah
shivered and hurriedly saluted before quickly departing.
Once he left, Rafael entered the royal study, where Salvador was drinking coffee and trying to calm his anger
towards the Earl of Gracehold’s family.
He addressed Rafael, “There's no need for formalities. Have a seat.”
“Understood, Your Majesty.” Rafael sat down in an armchair. “You askedto wait outside. Is there something
important you wish to discuss?”
Salvador dismissed everyone except Derek, who remained in the hall to attend to him. Derek prepared coffee on
the side and served a cup to Rafael.
“Take a look at this,” Salvador said, tossing a document at his brother:
Rafael caught and opened it, his expression immediately becoming solemn. It was about the exchange of
prisoners with Sandorla.
Salvador continued, “The two kingdoms have had a ceasefire for stnow. After Louis and

Timothy held several rounds of negotiations with Sandbrian representatives, an agreement was reached to
return the captured soldiers.
“However, one of the prisoners previously escaped from the enemy camp and had been providing intelligence
about Sandoria to Hector. After Hector’s death. Louis took over receiving the reports before. passing them on to
you. Unfortunately, his identity has been discovered and he was captured.”
Rafael was stunned. “Are you referring to Septimus Tetra?”

Previously, when investigating the Westhaven army’s movements from Sandoria, it was Septimus who had
followed their trail. The intelligence from him had verified the information brought by Carissa.
He had been captured?
Rafael’s heart tightened immediately. Though he had never met the man personally, he knew Septimus had
been initially captured in Calmstead City before Hector’s death, along with several hundred others.
Rafael had not participated in that battle, as he hadn't been dispatched to the Southern Frontier battlefield at the
time. He had heard about it from Timothy.
In that battle, the Sandorian forces launched a night raid, burning tents and killing many soldiers. The two sides
engaged in fierce combat amidst the flames, and it was then that Thomas had lost his life.
Rafael had taken over from Hector to lead the Hell Monarch Army onto the battlefield. Several times, he had
captured Sandorian soldiers, hoping to exchange them for the previously captured Sinclair Army soldiers.
However, his requests had always been rejected.
Instead, the soldiers captured later were accepted for exchange, but the Sandorians still refused to release that
initial batch of prisoners.
Now, negotiations had finally succeeded, but Septimus had been captured and fallen into the hands of angry
Sandorian troops. Would he survive?
