Her Majestic Battle Cry 582
Chapter 582
Violet and Carissa shuddered at the thought. To throw a newborn baby to its death was an act of unimaginable
cruelty.
Carmen managed a bitter smile. “Such things... who knows how many cruel and vicious secrets are hidden in the
grand princess’ inner palace? | once had a younger brother. When my mom was pregnant, she was sure it was a
boy.
“She knew my dad couldn't protect her and that the grand princess wouldn't. allow a boy to live. Boys were
doomed from the start. So, my mom wanted to escape, but the grand princess had peu, le watching her. Once
you enter the grand princess’ inner palace, the only way out is as a corpse.”
Carmen wiped her tears and continued, “My dad promised to help her escape. My mom believed him and waited
for a chance. When the tfinally came, it was almost too late, but she finally had a chance-the grand princess

“Did she manage to escape?” Violet asked, both angry and anxious.
“She did escape, but was caught halfway. My brother was born in the carriage, and they didn’t even cut his
umbilical cord. When they were dragged back to Harmony Palace, my mom and brother were pulled across the
ground all the way to Fragrance Courtyard. By the tthey got there, my brother had stopped crying. His skin
was torn, and he was just a bloody mess. He wasn’t even breathing anymore,” said Carmen.
Carissa, Rafael, and Violet had seen the brutality of a battlefield many times. However, that was a war between
nations, where lives were exchanged and cruelty was unavoidable.
But now, they were talking about a grand princess’ inner palace-how could she commit such insane and vicious
acts? How cruel and twisted could a person’s heart be?
Carmen looked at Carissa, her smile full of despair. “You haven't seen my mom or the other concubines in
Harmony Palace. If you did, you would understand why the grand princess treated them that way.”
Goosebumps erupted all over Carissa’s skin as she cto a sudden. realization.
“Could it be that they all resemble my mom?” she asked sharply.
Carmen's tears foll freely. “That's right. My mom was mistreated so horribly. because she resembles Madam
Sinclair. The grand princess gathered every woman who resembled Madam Sinclair and made them my dad's
concubines. She humiliated them, tortured them, and took out all her hatred. for Madam Sinclair on them.”
Carissa clenched her fists, a glimmer of less intent in her eyes.
Violet's face turned ashen, her voice seething with anger as she declared,” We'll kill her!”
Grasping Carissa’s hand, Rafael turned to Carmen and asked, “What is your mom’s name? What is her
connection to the Lester family that Greta mentioned?”
Since Greta had provided a specific address, they would need to verify it upon returning to the capital. If the
verification didn’t match, they would doubt Carmen’s words, and Eleanor’s plan would be jeopardized.
“My mom’s nis Melanie Lester. The Lester family is my mom's natal family. They were also coerced and
enticed by the grand princess. Moreover, as merchants, they couldn't possibly stand against Grand Princess

“Carissa, your mom’s nis Melanie Sullivan,” Violet said angrily.
Still on her knees, Carmen pleaded, her voice choked and broken, “Just because they share the snin
addition to looking alike, my mom endured even more suffering than other concubines.
“Your Grace, | swear that if you can save my mom, | will repay you with my life. | have
no other option but to beg you. | know you do not like Grand Princess Eleanor either. We can join forces.
Whatever you need from me, just give the order. I will face any danger for you.”
Carissa helped her up. “You will cback to the capital withand follow their plan for now. | don’t fully trust
you yet. | need to investigate once we return. But if you're sincere, tell me-what’s hidden in the western
courtyard of Harmony Palace?”
Previously, Carissa had thought the western courtyard might be where the concubines were hidden. But if it were
only concubines, it wouldn't be so heavily guarded.
