NovelEnglishChapter 791 Kylie's voice cut through the tension, "How did you investigate this? If you can share it with His Majesty, then you can share it with me. I refuse to belleve my dad could be that kind of man." Carissa met her gaze firmly. "Your Majesty, perhaps you should ask your dad directly. This involves a treason case. While I can share the outcwith you because it directly concerns your dad, revealing the details of our investigation to you might not be wise, as this is a matter of state." Kylie was stunned.
Carissa was right-Kylie shouldn't pry into the investigation. It was forbidden for the women of the royal harem to interfere in political affairs. Given that the Quinton family was at the height of its power and she was the queen, whose actions were closely watched and scrutinized, any mistake could be magnified.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLionel furrowed his brow. How was he supposed to approach his dad about this? He didn't even know whether the claim was true. So, even if his dad dismissed it as a lie, a nagging doubt would remain in his heart.
"Commander Sinclair, if you can't tell Her Majesty, you can at least confide in me. I have no intention of interfering with your investigation. But since this concerns my family, I want to know the source of your information. That seems reasonable enough." Carissa thought about it for a while, but Kylie stood up before she could respond.
"I'll take my leave for now. You two continue your discussion." Having said that, Kylie waved for Lydia to follow her, and they both retreated into the inner hall.
As she took a sip of coffee to soothe her throat, Carissa looked into Lionel's eyes, which held a mix of earnestness and fear.
"The concubines' daughters from Eleanor's household were placed with various families and kept under supervision. If the biological mothers of the women who had been placed years ago died, Eleanor ignored them because she knew she wouldn't be able to control them anymore. For them, we found information through other means, as many of Eleanor's people had been replaced over the years.
"But for the women placed in recent years, the people responsible for supervising them are still around. After questioning them, we discovered how your dad's mistress cto be involved with him, how she was accepted, where she was settled, and who was overseeing her. They confessed and we verified the details, which led us to our conclusion." She paused, gauging Lionel's reaction before continuing, "But I still recommend that you go back and speak with Lord Malcolm. Whether or not he's aware of this situation is something he must address himself. We only want to ensure he isn't left in the dark. We still need to liaise with him regarding whether this mistress will remain under his care or if the Capital Guard will manage her. Both options are viable-it ultimately depends on Lord Malcolm's choice." As Lionel listened, a chill settled deep in his heart.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis wasn't mere gossip. Once the case reached the SuprCourt for questioning, every testimony would be scrutinized and presented for Salvador's review. Unless the informant had ulterior motives and intended to frthe Quinton family, the validity of this information was beyond doubt.
Chapter 201 +25 BOR However, if the Informant did aim to frthe Quinton family, it wouldn't be an easy task. Once the testimony was given, the SuprCourt would certainly launch an investigation. As Carissa had mentioned, they had indeed conducted an inquiry, confirming that Malcolm was keeping a mistress.
Lionel took a deep breath, forcing himself to keep his emotions in check. "Can you tellwhere this mistress is now?" Carissa shook her head. “I'm sorry, but I can't disclose that Information."
Lionel stood and bowed his head in gratitude. "Understood Thank you for your insights, Commander Sinclair,"
Carissa finished her coffee, leaving not a drop behind. I have other е matters to attend to and can stay attend apy longer. Given that I'm currently Investigating a treason case, it's best to limit my contact with Her Majesty. Please extend my apologies to her." With a slight bow, she left the room without waiting for Kylie to emerge.
every word exchange
As soon as Carissa stepped out, Kylie appeared from the inner hall. She had heard Her steps faltered and she om leaned on Lydia for support, tears brimming in her eyes. Why? Why would Dad do this? It's not as if there aren't concubines in our household. If he has someone he likes, why keep her outside? Does he know that woman's identity?" X
