Chapter 715
Seeing the serious expression on Rafael’s face, everyone sensed he had discovered something significant in the
western courtyard.
Rafael sat down, and Carissa quickly poured him swater.
“Here, drink something. I'll have someone bring you the food we've got warming on the stove.”
He must be starving after going without food or drink in the dungeon overnight.
Rafael gulped down the water, his throat as dry as a desert.
Once Carissa had given her orders, she hurried back to the study..
Before anyone could ask, Rafael spoke up, “Carissa, your uncle and his family are all safe. Fortunately, they
didn’t suffer any harm or beatings. They were just frightened from being locked in the dungeon.”
Carissa’s eyes widened. “So, my uncle was really captured?”
“Yes, and it was a good thing he was there. Otherwise, his wife and children would have been scared half

to death.”
Rafael poured himself another cup of water and downed it before continuing, “Most of the people in the dungeon
were Henry's concubines. They've all been rescued, but quite a few are injured or traumatized. The cruelty of it
is appalling.
“Also, the entrance to the eastern dungeon was located in the westen courtyard. That dungeon contained
weapons, armor, and gunpowder. It seems they planned to send a group of people into the capital when the
uprising began, and use those weapons and armor for a coordinated attack.”
“Of course! Was she not afraid of getting caught?” asked Carissa.
Though she had always suspected that Eleanor was hiding something in the western courtyard, she hadn't
realized the grand princess would be so bold as to stash weapons in her residence.
“If it were Hell Monarch Estate, no one would dare hide such things here. However, who would think a grand
princess’ residence would have a dungeon, let alone a large stash of weapons? It's actually the safest place,
since no one would search Harmony Palace. Even if they did, they wouldn't find anything. We only discovered the
dungeon’s existence by learning about its entrance ahead of time,” Jacob replied.
Rafael nodded. “Exactly. No one would dare search Harmony Palace unless it was a matter of utmost importance.
That's why they chose to hide the weapons here-it was the safest option.”
Although Violet had known for stthat Eleanor was working with Yuvan, she couldn’t help but ask,
“What's her goal? She's already a respected grand princess. What would she gain by helping Prince Yuvan seize
the throne? Wouldn't her status go down instead?”
Kyle shrugged. “Only she knows what she’s after.”
Everyone else was equally baffled by Eleanor’s actions. She might not have complete control as a grand
princess, but she lived a life of privilege and wealth. What could possibly be worth risking everything, even her
life?
Jacob suddenly recalled something and added, “Your Highness, the king might have known there would

ladies went there.”
“I know. | saw,” said Rafael.
Lily arrived at the study door with a tray of food.

After she announced her presence, Carissa urged, “Hurry, bring it in!”
Once Lily and the maids served the food, they left, closing the door behind them.
Rafael rolled up his sleeves and dug in. The gnawing hunger was a miserable feeling.
Carissa’s eyes softened with concern. “Don’t eat too fast. Have ssoup first.”
“Okay.” He looked up and grinned at his wife. “I'll listen to you, my dear.”
After a few sips of soup, he continued, “This case will most likely be handed to the SuprCourt. | need to
clean up and prepare for work. This is huge news, and itll surely shake the court and the streets. If anyone has
questions, ask quickly.”
“Just eat! No talking, or you'll choke,” Carissa admonished.
In truth, no one had many questions. The plan had succeeded, the secrets were out, and everyone had been
rescued. The details could wait.
Rafael popped a piece of meat into his mouth, savoring the taste. “Oh, by the way. It was Barrett who led the
team that found those weapons.
“Barrett?” Violet scowled. “Why him? That's such a cheap grab for credit!”
Rafael paused. “It’s not that simple. He was injured. |
