Chapter 732
Upon returning to the estate, Rafael found that his wife was still awake.
Lulu was busy pressing Carissa’s official uniform, the one for the deputy commander of the Mystic Army.
Although it was just a nominal title, they had gone through the trouble of making her an official uniform back
then, never truly expecting she would wear it.
The official uniform didn’t cwith a ceremonial sword, and the black outfit was inlaid with emerald beads. If
Carissa were to wear an official uniform from now on, it meant she couldn't dress like a woman
anymore.
Lulu was filled with joy. When Barrett wanted to take Aurora as a rightful wife, he had belittled Carissa. Now, she
was about to take on an official role. Even though being a commander was still a military position, Carissa
wouldn't be stuck in the barracks. All the pent-up frustration Lulu had felt was finally released.

“How did it go? Did you manage to interrogate anyone? Carissa asked eagerly as she approached her husband.
Rafael glanced at her official uniform and chuckled. “That's the deputy commander's uniform, but you're
officially the commander now.”
“It doesn’t matter. I'll wear it for now,” Carissa replied. Tomorrow morning, I'll head into the palace and go to the
Mystic Army’s barracks to take charge of everything. Even as the army’s former commander, you probably won't
have tto show up.”
Rafael wrapped his arms around her waist and grinned. “Whether | show up or not doesn’t matter. Ever since |
returned from the Southern Frontier, | haven't had anything to do with the Mystic Army. You handled Michael,
which means you can handle everyone else. Or are you feeling a bit anxious and needthere?”
“No, I'm not anxious at all.” Carissa reached out to smooth her husband's slightly tousled hair.
Seeing this, Lulu quickly took Pearl and stepped outside.
“You're not nervous about facing enemies on the battlefield, so | imagine being a commander will ceasily to
you,” Rafael said, planting a playful kiss on her forehead. “Congratulations on becoming the first female official
to enter the court since the founding of our kingdom.”
Carissa tilted her head slightly, a smile blooming on her face. “Perhaps the king just had a fleeting idea and will
cup with an excuse to dismissin a few days.”
Rafael shook his head. “Mr. Walker personally cto deliver the royal edict. Did he say anything to you?”
Carissa relayed Derek's words to Rafael nearly verbatim, then shared her thoughts, “I feel like overthinking is
pointless. No matter what we do, the king will always suspect us. So, we might as well do what we believe is
right without being overly cautious. | heard from Jacob that you've been holding back because of the Sinclair
family and Ryan, but there's no need to
Rafael gently pressed a finger to her lips to silence her “It’s not just that. There are many other reasons. But if
you enjoy this position, that putsat ease. Just go ahead and do your job. In fact, doing nothing or hesitating
will only make the king more suspicious. It’s better to be proactive.”

Carissa smiled. “Yes, that’s my plan.”

Rafael took her hand and sat down with her. “The SuprCourt is short-staffed. Tomorrow, I'll ask the king to
borrow speople from the Capital Guard to help out, but | can’t be sure he'll allow us to work together on this
treason case. If he doesn’t grant permission, it might be possible to enlist the assistance
the Royal Citadel.”
“Right, you can ask him first. Once I'm appointed tomorrow after entering the palace, I'll take it from there,
“Carissa assured, then asked, “You haven't toldyet-did you manage to interrogate anyone?”
“I questioned a few. We got to talk to Uncle Henry, but he didn’t reveal much.” Suddenly recalling something,
Rafael added, “I also interrogated a physician from Harmony Palace. He said Celeste seduced him and instructed
him to tamper with Melanie Lester's medicine, and that she had intended for her to die. Do you think we should
inform Carmen about this?”
Carissa was taken aback. “Why would Celeste do that? That's her mom! Wasn't she under Grand Princess
Eleanor’s control because her mom was in the dungeon? Was she trying to kill her mom to gain her freedom? But
that doesn’t make sense. If she didn’t care about her mom, why would she carry out Grand Princess Eleanor’s
orders?”
“I don’t know her motives,” Rafael replied. “But that’s not the focus of our investigation. | just thought it was
important to mention since | know you and Violet are in contact with Carmen. If the evidence is solid, Celeste
could be charged with matricide, and we'd need to apprehend her. But she’s already made a run for it.”
