NovelEnglishChapter 986
After the Westhaven envoys left the capital, Salvador swiftly dealt out punishments to Dominic and Barrett.
Dominic's military leadership had been lax, but given his years of hard service defending Victory Pass and the
fact that he had been on the brink of death when Barrett and Aurora headed to Fawnrun City, Salvador showed
him smercy. He allowed Dominic to retire from his post and return to Victory Pass to live out his remaining
years in peace. Another edict followed, transferring command of Victory Pass to Wyatt, with Wallace as his
deputy. Since the border issue had not yet been resolved, Victory Pass could not be left without the Sullivan
family's involvement.
With that, Dominic finally emerged from Sullivan Estate and entered the palace to express his gratitude.
His family was still stationed at Victory Pass, and after his retirement, he would return there, though he would no
longer be in charge. His accomplishments, despite their weight, would not earn him a noble title, but he held no
regrets. He had never sought such things. Barrett also faced punishment, though his role in providing useful
information during the Westhaven negotiations earned him sleniency. He was demoted to deputy
commander of the Nightsteel Guard and would have his salary docked for three years. In turn, lan was promoted
to the position of commander. With that, lan becthe commander of both of Salvador's personal guard
divisions. Showing exceptional clemency, Salvador allowed Rafael and his household to privately deal with the
two Westhaven spies. Rafael returned to consult Carissa, asking whether she wished to handle the matter herself

Carissa called for Lulu and asked for her opinion. Aurora was the culprit who caused the massacre of the Sinclair
family, but it was the Westhaven spies who had carried out the slaughter.
Lulu had never taken a life before. She knelt before Rafael and Carissa, her teeth clenched in fury. "I want to
watch them die with my own eyes, as a tribute to the spirits of the Sinclair family."
A sharp pain shot through Carissa's chest, and her eyes burned with unshed tears.
"Alright," she said quietly. "I'll take you there."
Carissa had once hesitated and was unwilling to personally kill them. She had no desire to even look at them-just
the sight of them reminded her of the horrors she had seen when she returned hthat day. She had been
mad with grief to find her entire family reduced to mutilated corpses.
But she hadn't had tto kill a single spy back then. Now, the two remaining ones, hiding from place to place,
had fallen into Winona's hands. It seemed fate had led them to this moment. And so, with Lulu by her side,
Carissa would take her revenge.
After dinner, the sky had fully
darkened. As the lights of Hell
Monarch Estate flickered on one by one, Carissa took the sharp dagger Winona handed her, grasped Lulu's hand,
and stepped out the door.
Rafael and Violet accompanied them. He rode on horseback, while the three women sat in a carriage, driven by
Travis, who had remarked that he would naturally be coming along as well.
In fact, Kyle and Winona also
wanted to follow them, but Everett stopped them. He told them that it was better to let Carissa's husband and
close friends accompany her. Those from her guild only needed to go when she truly needed them.

During this trip to the capital, Everett had seen how maturely the couple handled matters, and his heart had
finally settled. He could now let go knowing they were capable of navigating life on their own. He could return
and reassure Adrian, telling him there was no need to worry endlessly anymore? The
troublemaker had changed.

Patrick waited personally at the Ministry of Justice. He knew that someone from Hell Monarch Estate would come
for the two spies, and he needed to oversee the handover himself.
But Barrett had inexplicably refused to leave, even though Salvador had pardoned him. He insisted on staying
until the next day.
What was that about? Did he think tomorrow was a favorable day? Was he hoping that being released the
following day would lead to a smooth career?
When the group arrived, Patrick immediately instructed someone to bring up the two spies. Then, he personally
went out to meet them.
"Greetings, Your Highness, Commander Sinclair. You've cso late. | thought you would be arriving tomorrow
instead."
"Greetings, Mr. Lloyd!" said Carissa and Violet, along with Travis.
Patrick had addressed Carissa by her title. As a guard unit's commander, Carissa's rank was lower than Patrick's
rank of second-rank official, so she had to return the gesture. Patrick nodded, then gestured for them to enter.
His expression grew serious as he said, "Please sit for a moment. They'll be up shortly."
