Chapter 1194
Carissa gently helped Violet to a chaise lounge, settling her down. “Thank Isaac for me, but | won't guess. Just
tellwho did you see?
“Victor!” Violet's eyes went wide, possibly from the alcohol, though it could have been from the sheer shock of
what she was about to say. “Yes, it was Victor, the Sandoria marshal. And not just one, there were several
Victors.”
“Several Victors, or several people who looked like Victor?” Carissa pressed her hand to Violet's forehead. “How
much did you drink to get this drunk?”
“Victor...” Violet mumbled, her head growing still, as though the nhad locked her into place. “But not as old
as Victor.”
“You mean people who looked like Victor? Sandorians?”
Carissa’s mind started racing, Sandoria and Starhaven hadn’t had much interaction, and for a Sandorian to make
it to Starhaven let alone to the capital-seemed impossible. Even harder to think they could settle here.
“Yes... Sandorians. How could there be Sandorians in the capital? They were... they're hiding in the gentlemen's
retreat. Why doesn’t anyone talk about the guests at the gentlemen's retreat? | saw them-those guests surely
saw them too,” said Violet, her words slurring as she tried to get them out.
Carissa’s heart skipped a beat.”
Of course, the guests of the gentlemen's retreat wouldn't talk about it. To speak of it would be to admit they had
gone there. But the real question was-when had the Sandorians cto the capital? It was no wonder no one
had discovered them. They had been hiding in at gentlemen's retreat..
Though there were a few gentlemen's retreats in the city, they operated discreetly. Sigmund had strictly
outlawed them and monitored them closely. After Salvador ascended the throne, such matters were barely
addressed.
Though there were no restrictions, they weren't actively promoted either. The people were a bit more open-
minded compared to Sigmund'’s time, but homosexuality was still frowned upon by society. No one would openly
talk about it, and since no one mentioned it, no one paid attention. Everything seemed fine, and no one would

let's head suddenly tilted to the side, and before Carissa could react, she was fast asleep, unable to answer any
more questions.
Carissa sighed, calling for Lulu to help tend to Violet. Then, turning on her heel, she rushed out to find Isaac. She
knew well that he had a remarkable tolerance for alcohol and wouldn't have gotten drunk so easily.

“Yes, | took her there on purpose. | noticed them a few days ago,” Isaac said, his voice clear and sharp.
Having splashed water on his face, his hair was slightly damp and sticking to his temples, but he appeared fully
awake and alert.
Isaac wiped his hands with a handkerchief and gestured for Carissa to sit. “I had planned to bring you along, but
since you didn’t want to go, | took Violet instead. After all, she’s been to the battlefield and has seen Sandorians
before.”
were
Sandorians were tall, with prominent noses and distinct eye colors. But sSandorians of average height, with
eyes nearly identical to Starhaven people. Only their noses were slightly higher and their eyes more piercing,
giving them a stronger presence, though not so different from Starhaven natives at a glance.
The ones in the gentlemen's retreat were like that-strikingly handsome, but with a touch of feminine air. So, not
everyone who went there would necessarily guess they were Sandorians.
“Why didn’t you explain the situation to me, then?” Carissa asked, frowning. “If you had toldthe truth, |
would've gone.”
Isaac glanced at her. “That wouldn't have worked. It had to be Violet who invited you. If | asked you to come,
word would get back to Meadow Ridge, and Sage Adrian and Sage Everett would never forgive me!”
Carissa was speechless.
Seriously? That was the reason?!
“How did you find out?” Carissa eyed him. “You didn’t go to those places to drink again, did you? You said you
wouldn't go.”
“What are you talking about? It’s just a lively place for drinking, not a place of ill repute. | just went there for the
drinks, not to do anything else,” Isaac said confidently.
Carissa raised an eyebrow. “Would you say that to Sage Everett?”

“Did you learn if they have any martial arts skills?” Carissa asked.
Isaac nodded without hesitation. “Yes. Every single one of them knows how to fight.”
