Chapter 777
Norman had always valued Gareth’s opinions, as the two shared the smindset. In fact, Norman also thought
of Carissa in the smanner as Gareth did.
Once Gareth spoke up, everyone nodded in agreement, primarily because Norman had shown his support first.
He never hesitated to express his approval for his fourth son.
In contrast, Mikhail’s objections seemed weak and feeble. Despite his diminished state, he felt compelled to
voice his thoughts.
“Gareth, you're mistaken. The Capital Guard has its own methods for handling cases. Lady Carissa hails from a
military family and has made contributions on the Southern Frontier battlefield. If she were incapable, His
Majesty wouldn't have set a precedent by assigning her such an important task.
“Moreover, she’s not investigating just any case-she’s dealing with a treason case. The fact that she’s acting on
official orders means she could have summoned us to the SuprCourt for questioning. Instead, she cto
us directly and waited outside for nearly an hour. Her actions demonstrate her respect for our family.”

He paused to take a breath before he continued, “Dad, this case involves many parties. They probably have
limited tto spare. If it weren't necessary, they wouldn't have chere. | believe we should invite them in.
Whatever they ask, we can cooperate. If she was trying to use our family to establish her authority, waiting
outside for so long isn’t the way to do it. By doing so, she’s actually showing consideration for us. She respects
you, Dad-"
Norman was becoming increasingly irritated by Mikhail’s rambling. He raised a hand, cutting his son off
with a furious shout.
“Shut your mouth! If she truly had respect, she wouldn't be here! What dealings do we have with Grand Princess
Eleanor? Though we receive numerous invitations from her every year, we only accept a handful, and that’s
merely to facilitate young couples meeting for potential matches!”
“But there has been scontact-"
“Did you not hear me? Shut up!” Norman's disappointment was palpable as he stood up. “Men! If they knock
again, bring a bucket of water and pour it over them to chase them off!”
“Dad, you mustn't do that!” Mikhail quickly rose to stop him, urgency in his voice. “That would not only insult
Commander Sinclair, but also humiliate His Majesty!”
Mikhail felt a knot of worry tighten in his chest.
Norman had achieved great military success, but he was a military general from the late king's reign. Norman
looked down on everyone because of the title Sigmund had given him. Due to Norman's temperament, Sigmund
had already been displeased with him during his reign. However, Sigmund had tolerated it because of Norman's
past military achievements and the fact that nothing major had happened.
But the current king's position was shaky, and he was wary of powerful families. The Duke of Oakspire’s family
couldn't afford to behave as recklessly as they had under the previous king's reign.
Mikhail had warned his dad countless times, but the older man never listened. With Gareth stoking the fire,
Mikhail was genuinely concerned.
Chapter 727
Did they not consider why the Whitfield family’s men had never been promoted in the court?
The people in the estate naturally followed Norman's commands, especially the older veterans who had served
alongside him. They shared Norman's temperament and decisiveness.
Without hesitation, they grabbed two buckets of water to douse Carissa.

“Commander Sinclair, watch out-
Michael noticed what was happening. But before he could finish his warning, Carissa had already vanished. Then,
he heard a surprised shout from inside
“How did you get in here? How dare you breach Oakspire Estate? How bold of you!”
The two buckets of water missed Carissa completely as she deftly avoided them, her movements elegant as she
glanced at the two veterans.
They both had white hair and wrinkled faces.
That was fine. Carissa respected her elders!
Without saying a word, Carissa strode forward. Since Norman had not commanded them to act, the guards could
only try to block her way.
However, they were no match for Carissa. With a few agile leaps, she reached the entrance to the main hall just
as Norman bellowed, “She will not step foot through the doors of my estate today!”
Once the words left his lips, he turned to find a young official he didn’t recognize standing at the entrance,
pursued by his guards.
‘Carissa remained calm, and a sly smile graced her lips. “I'm sorry, but | already stepped through the doors of
Oakspire Estate.”
