Her Majestic Battle Cry

Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 225

Chapter 225

With the silver she obtained from Helen, Eleanor distributed sto continue fueling the gossip in the taverns

and coffeehouses, exaggerating Carissa’s supposed failure to observe her duties toward her family.

Carissa remained silent. She even closed the doors to Northwatch Estate and refused to make any public

response, which satisfied Eleanor. Eleanor thought Carissa must be scared of the public outcry, and reveled in

the victory.

Eleanor believed that Carissa going against her was like trying to fight a rock with an egg-completely futile.

Riding on her success, Eleanor entered the palace to see Salvador. She argued that Rafael’s marriage to Carissa

was laying a hidden danger to his throne. For the stability of the kingdom and its people, she suggested that

Carissa’s entry into Rafael’s household should be prevented.

She expected Salvador to ponder her words seriously. To her surprise, he responded with a cold and stern

expression.

“Aunt Eleanor, what are you saying? Both my brother and Carissa are military commanders who have devoted

themselves to defending the Southern Frontier and our kingdom. They have shown loyalty to bothand the

court. Moreover, my brother and | have been close since childhood. He would never harbor any ulterior motives.

Please do not make baseless accusations.”

Eleanor was taken aback, then quickly adopted her authoritative tone as his aunt and

elder relative.

“You are being foolish. Can human hearts ever be absolutely trusted? Are there not countless instances of royal

family members turning against each other? If you're so naive to believe in him, he might exploit your trust for

malevolent purposes.”

The king's face darkened. He removed his malachite ring and placed it heavily on the desk, his gaze icy and

sullen.

Derek was standing beside Salvador, and he quickly raised his brows in alarm and kneeled hastily.

“Grand Princess Eleanor, please be cautious with your words. If such remarks spread, the court might accuse you

of sowing discord between the king and the Hell Monarch, which would be detrimental to you and harmful to

both the king and Prince

“Currently, the realm is peaceful, and the relationship between the king and his ministers is good. Furthermore,

the marriage between Prince Rafael and Lady Sinclair is already confirmed. If the king were to issue an edict to

break this engagement, how would the world view him?”

Eleanor looked at the malachite ring on the desk. She furrowed her brows. While she disregarded Derek's

concerns, she noted Salvador’s attitude. He seemed completely dismissive of her warnings, and even viewed her

as meddlesome.

The malachite ring was a gift from the late king, and it was a sign of displeasure whenever it was removed and

placed on the desk.

With a deep sigh, Eleanor decided to retreat, “Your Majesty, | only wish what is best for you.”

If you truly wish well for me, then offer sestates and properties as gifts for my brother's wedding, Aunt

Eleanor. I'm sure both my brother and Carissa will appreciate your kindness,” Salvador replied coolly.

Eleanor was momentarily stunned. She looked up at him for a while before letting out a slow sigh. “It is said that

honest words are harsh to hear. Your Majesty, you should consider that | never ctoday.”

Salvador replied indifferently, “Indeed, it’s not appropriate for you to visit the palace frequently, especially not

my study. Even if | were the most foolish of kings, | have the entire court to assist me. There is no need for you to

worry.”

Eleanor stared at him in shock, her face alternating between pale and flushed with anger. It took a moment for

her to regain her composure.

After a long pause, she turned on her heel and left without a word. Her anger seemed to radiate around her as

she walked, and she was clearly in a state of fury.

Derek rose and said softly, “Your Majesty, please calm your anger, Grand Princess Eleanor has always been

headstrong and domineering. It is likely that her actions today were not intended to offend.”

Salvador replied coolly, “It is not a serious matter if an aunt calls her nephew foolish. There is no reason for me

to be angry.”

Derek bowed his head. “You're wise as always, Your Majesty.”

For a king, allowing someone to chastise him as foolish was unacceptable. Not even
