Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1106

At Carissa’s words, both Wayne and Fiona’s expressions shifted slightly, as if they hadn't expected her to deny

that the woman was Violet

Carissa turned her gaze toward Fiona and changed the topic. “It seems your earlier comments were a bit odd,

Lady Fiona. Why should | thank you? What relationship does that woman have with me?”

Fiona’s expression stiffened, and she faltered. Well... then, Your Grace, you have even less reason to be holding

His Highness hostage. We're all family, and making a scene like this doesn’t do anyone any favors.”

Carissa smiled, but it was a cold one.

“Then, | apologize. It turns out this was a misunderstanding.” She didn’t release Yuvan, but kept her gaze fixed

on Fiona. “However, why were these men in black staying near the western mountain pass? Are they from Prince

Yuvan’s household?”

“Yes, they escorted His Highness back to the capital. Edgeview Estate couldn't accommodate so many, so they

were placed outside the city,” Fiona replied.

Wayne was about to speak, but Carissa interrupted, “They've been staying outside the city all this time, so how

did they cto know Violet? Judging by their martial arts skills, are they perhaps the estate's guards? Why are

these guards dressed in black? Is there something shady going on?”

Fiona’s face tightened as Carissa pressed on, catching her off guard.

Wayne shot a look of reproach at Fiona before trying to shift the conversation, saying, ” Your Grace, perhaps it's

tto release His Highness now.”

Yuvan had been held by the neck, alternately loosened to allow him to breathe and tightened to induce

suffocation. After several cycles, he was dizzy and his vision blurred.

“Of course, | will release him,” Carissa said with a calm smile, though she made no move to let go.

Her eyes narrowed, becoming much more composed.

“You've gathered here with so many people in the middle of the night. You're not staying at an inn or a post

station. Though it's along a main road, it’s still a remote area. And with the garrison outpost nearby, it makes

one wonder what you're plotting.

“Surely you didn’t foresee that the woman from earlier would need saving, did you? So, let's wait for the

SuprCourt and the Capital Guard to arrive. That way, we can explain everything thoroughly and avoid

causing unnecessary rumors and suspicions among the officials.”

Without making it about Violet's situation, Carissa skillfully turned the focus onto their suspicious gathering near

the garrison outpost. It was a delicate move-they hadn't chosen to stay at any inns although women were

traveling with them. Then suddenly, there were unfamiliar black-clad men appearing close to a military outpost.

It was a setup that could easily fuel rumors, and those could quickly spiral out of control.

but

The king and the entire court may not have cared much about a woman being violated, if Yuvan was gathering

troops near a military outpost in the dead of night, it would be a matter of grave concern. Such an incident would

demand attention and would surely draw a great deal of scrutiny.

Claire quickly regained her composure and cried loudly, “Your Grace, my friend and | discovered they were

camped here. That's why we cto investigate. We didn’t expect them to capture us! We had no idea what

they intended to do.”

So, it wasn’t Violet that mattered, but the fact that they were amassing troops here with ill

intent.

Wayne's face paled, his expression filled with helplessness. “If you insist on twisting the truth like this, there's

nothing | can do, Your Grace.”

“Of course you can’t do anything,” Carissa sneered coldly. “What can you do at this point?”

me-“Yevan “Carissa, you are wrongfully accusing me-" Yuvan began, but his words were cut off as Carissa’s

fingers tightened around his throat. His breath faltered, and no air passed through.

Having his plans ruined and being humiliated repeatedly by Carissa had completely shattered his pride and

composure. Any remaining rationality was gone. His head tilted back, his eyes flashing with a cruel

determination. Though his throat was gripped tightly, his hands were free.

From his sleeve, a dagger slipped into his grasp, its silver gleam flashing...

Carissa’s eyes flickered.

Good. This was what she had been waiting for.

Wayne's face went pale with shock. Before he could even shout, Yuvan let out a scream. The dagger had sunk

into his abdomen, but not deeply enough to cause serious damage. The blade was still in place and blood started

to trickle out, but not in a large amount.

“Dad!”

“Your Highness!”

The group gasped in alarm. Upon seeing the blood, Molly nearly fainted and her body collapsed weakly against

Fiona.

Carissa’s voice was as cold as ice.

“Your Highness, if you truly had no ill intentions, no one would believe it now. You actually tried to murder me? |

am the commander of the Mystic Army, sworn to protect the capital both inside and out. You've gathered troops

near the outpost, which raises serious suspicions. | have every right to detain you and bring you to the capital for

questioning. Not only do you refuse to cooperate, but you also dare to draw a blade against me?”
