Carissa didn’t seem angered by Stephanie's tone. Instead, she turned to the scribe, Kirk, and said flatly, Note
that Lady Stephanie appears impatient and unwilling to cooperate. This raises concerns of defiance. against
royal orders.”
Kirk opened his book, and Michael quickly prepared the ink.
“Understood, Commander Sinclair.”
Stephanie was taken aback, her cheeks flushing with indignation. “Carissa, don’t say such nonsense! When have
| ever defied orders?”
Carissa remained unmoved in her seat and continued, “Also note that Lady Stephanie scoldedand has
displayed an extremely poor attitude.”
Kirk's quill flew across the page. “Noted. It's been recorded.”
Stephanie walked over and saw that Kirk had indeed written down Carissa’s words. In a fit of anger, she reached
out to tear the page, but Michael swiftly blocked her with his sword.

Then, he coldly said, “Note that Lady Stephanie attempted to destroy the testimony.”
Stephanie stumbled back two steps. She was caught off guard by the blade and didn’t dare to retaliate further.
Seeing that Carissa showed no leniency despite their familial ties, Fiona quickly stood up to ease the tension.
*Commander Sinclair, please don’t hold this against Stephanie. She's young and inexperienced and has never
encountered such a situation. Besides, you're cousins. There's no need to make things so tense, right?”
Carissa didn’t even glance at Stephanie, her expression cool and distant. “The Capital Guard handles cases with
impartiality. What do familial ties have to do with this, Lady Fiona? They share no more bond with their own mom
than they do with me.”
Fiona understood that Carissa was not someone to be trifled with. She forced a smile and said, “Of course. If you
have any questions, please ask. We will certainly answer truthfully.”
Carissa fixed her gaze on Fiona, “Are all of you aware that Eleanor has been hoarding weapons?”
Fiona immediately shook her head. She looked at Kirk and said, “No, we didn’t know anything about this- nothing
at all. Prince Yuvan doesn’t know either.”
Carissa replied, “Whether Prince Yuvan knows or not is a matter for him to clarify. Just answer whether you all
knew.”
Unease stirred within Fiona. If this was just a routine inquiry, why was Carissa being so sharp from the
start?
“No, we didn’t know,” she replied.
Outside Edgeview Estate, two capital guards stood resolute and solemn, their expressions unreadable.

conditions in Valken, along with how many times Eleanor had visited the region.

arissa also brought up Avis, probing why she had left Valken to recuperate at Verdant Monastery when he fell ill.
ad it been Yuvan’s decision, or hers alone?
hough Fiona and the two county duchesses insisted it had been Avis‘ choice, Carissa continued to leave through
various topics until she eventually circled back to the conspiracy surrounding Eleanor.
lona found herself increasingly exhausted from the back-and-forth.
Then, Carissa shifted her attention to Randall and the two county duchesses.
Do you find it suspicious that when Lady Ruth fell ill, Prince Yuvan brought you back to the capital to care! for
her?”
Sabrina’s frustration flared. “What's suspicious about it? Dad has always been filial! What's suspicious about
returning to care for his mom? Isn't it more questionable that his mom is gravely ill while her son is miles away?
What's the point of all this questioning?”
Carissa met her gaze. “You're right. It is only natural for children to attend to their ailing parents. So, why was
your mom recuperating alone at Verdant Monastery, while you three siblings and Lady Fiona’s three children
were absent?
“If Prince Yuvan is indeed a dutiful son, he should have sent you to be by her side. Instead, he upholds his duty
to his parents alone and leaves you all to appear ungrateful and uncaring. Doesn't that raise suspicion?”
