Chapter 768
Eleanor tilted her head, her laughter fading as she spoke earnestly.
“It has always been Jacob who contacts me, remember? You said you couldn’t show your face, and couldn't let
anyone have leverage over you. So, after you first mentioned your plans to rebel, Jacob took care of everything.
“If you bring him here and interrogate him rigorously, the truth will cout, won't it? Oh, and later, when you
returned from the battlefield, the one responsible for contacting me, besides Jacob, was Carissa. Wasn't she the
one who had those martial artists deliver the weapons? Just bring her in and torture her- she’ll confess too.”
As she spoke, a slow smile crept across her face.
“But if you don’t torture them, you can’t use torture oneither. That would be treating us differently. Besides,
since I'm pointing to you as the mastermind, you can’t be in charge of this case. Get someone else.”
Rafael replied, “You don’t need to worry about that. The king will decide after reviewing your testimony. If he
thinks it necessary to change the interrogator, then you won't seeagain.”

Eleanor looked at him with a smile, but her eyes were filled with malice. “I truly hope | never see you again.
You're revolting. A prince known for your military achievements, yet you married a woman who was once
divorced. That is how you've brought disgrace to our royal family.”
Rafael reminded her, “You're no longer part of the royal family. You don’t need to worry about that.”
Eleanor huffed. “You have no sense of shame. | insult you, and you don’t even get angry. Your shamelessness is
infuriating. If you didn’t have leverage over me, do you think | would have allowed myself to be used by you in
this treasonous plot? You're useless. You were too scared to keep weapons in your own home, so you hid them in
mine instead. Many of those weapons were smuggled back from the Southern Frontier battlefield by you,
including the armor.”
The scribe turned pale upon hearing her words, terrified of the implications.
Should he be recording all of this? Once it was on paper, the testimony needed to be submitted to Salvador. This
was the first interrogation, and the king would surely want to know everything Eleanor had
said.
Rafael nodded at him, neither angry nor amused. “Write down everything she says.”
A venomous glint flickered in Eleanor’s eyes. “Of course, the harder | bite, the more you can distance yourself.
But don’t think you can escape, Rafael! You've ruined me, and | won't let you off the hook. Even if I'm headed for
hell, I'll drag you down with me.
“His Majesty is sharp and will uncover the truth. Rafael Sanford, you're the real traitor plotting rebellion! I'm just
a pawn in your game. The world will see your true colors. Those who say | conspired to rebel are
blind and foolish. I'm just a woman with no sons-what purpose would treason serve for me? Our kingdom doesn’t
even allow female officials. How could they accept a queen to rule the kingdom?”
“Women do hold official positions now,” Rafael corrected. “Take Carissa, for example, the one you claim is
conspiring with me. She is now the commander of the Mystic Army. She oversees the Capital Guard, the Garrison
Unit, the Royal Guard, and the Crown Guard. She is also involved in the investigation into
Chapter 768
your rebellion.”

Eleanor froze, then fury ignited in her eyes. “Her? Hah! His Majesty is truly confused! He's setting such a

and power? Now, she’s even been given real authority? The Mystic Army is the city’s shield. Does he want to
destroy himself?”
Rafael smiled and replied, “I think His Majesty's decision is quite wise. Commander Sinclair's capabilities are
evident, and her family has been loyal to the court and the king. They despise traitors who disrupt the country.
With her guarding the city, any traitor attempting rebellion has no chance of success. Those who have plotted for
years may find their efforts wasted.”
“You're insane!” Eleanor stared at him in disbelief.
It was clear Rafael was saying this for Salvador’s benefit, but the king wasn’t foolish. How could he not see
through the prince’s intentions? By stating that Carissa was guarding the city, Rafael implied that traitors would
never succeed in rebellion.
However, it also hinted that if Carissa turned against them, na outside reinforcements would be able to get into
the city either!
To test Salvador’s trust in such a way was utterly reckless. How could the king believe them?
In all of Starhaven, they were the greatest threat to his throne!
