Her Majestic Battle Cry 791
Chapter 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. | 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 | 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.
Lionel 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. | have no intention of
interfering with your investigation. But since this concerns my family, | 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.
This 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 frame
the Quinton family, the validity of this information was beyond doubt.

However, if the Informant did aim to frthe Quinton family, it wouldn't be an easy task. Once the testimony

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 | 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. | have other matters to attend to and can’t stay any
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
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?”
