The confession was written entirely in Stellish, which Westhaven envoys couldn't fully understand. The two
interpreters read it aloud in Westic for them.
Icarus took full responsibility for the plot, explaining that his motive stemmed from Hector’s past victory of
Westhaven, which had resulted in the deaths of many Westhaven soldiers. He also harbored a deep grudge
against the Sullivan family, particularly Carissa, whose grandfather, Dominic, had guarded Victory Pass for many
years and fought in countless battles. Consumed by hatred, Icarus had seized the opportunity to strike at Carissa
when he cto the capital, hoping to vent his anger.
Even after hearing the confession, the Westhaven envoys didn’t seem any less tense. Regardless of thefr stance,
this meant the attempt on Carissa’s life was tied to Victory Pass.
The Westhaven envoys couldn't help but respect the Hell Monarch for his
straightforwardness in not bringing this matter to the negotiating table directly. Instead, he had sought justice
before the talks even began.

This, in turn, made the mood heavier. They would have preferred it if Starhaven had been a little more ruthless
and put the matter directly on the table. Were that the case, they wouldn't have to worry about preserving their
dignity.
All the envoys, except for Amos, were inwardly cursing Leroy. How foolish to think he could compare to his
brother, Liam. Did he even realize how much like a clown he appeared?
Rafael remained calm as he watched them with a steady gaze. In negotiations, it was all about the psychological
game.
Originally, the Westhaven envoys had ca long way to demand an explanation from Starhaven. Westhaven
was the aggrieved party, with the right to present their conditions. They could be angry, could question, and
could demand more than what was fair,
Now, with the assassination attempt on Carissa, they suddenly found themselves at a disadvantage.
In reality, their only wrong lay in the eradication of the Sinclair family. The assassination attempt took place just
last night, and today was the negotiation. That was what truly shook them psychologically.
Leroy pressed his hand against the confession, meeting Rafael’s gaze. He raised his voice as he said, “Let's be
clear. Whether the assassination attempt is true or not, we don’t know yet. We can wait for the investigation to
confirm the details. Let's return to the main topic, shall we?”
Rafael’s posture was rigid, his face solemn. “You don’t know whether it's true? Didn't you hear it with your own
ears last night, Mr. Stellwyn? If you doubt the assassination attempt,

why not investigate it further before we continue?”
“No, this can’t be delayed any further!” Leroy’s voice grew a little sharp. “You want an explanation, right? Since
he attempted assassination in Starhaven, then your kingdom can handle the punishment according to your laws.
Don’t drag this out here.”
Her patience already worn thin, Lisandra suddenly snapped. “Shut up!”
She hadn't slept all night. Her head was pounding, and she had only been able to leave the inn after taking some
medicine. Before she left, she had repeatedly reminded them that the Hell Monarch would likely bring up the
assassination attempt. She had stressed how important it was to maintain an apologetic attitude about the
incident.
Their stance would directly influence Starhaven’s response. If they were arrogant and dismissive, Starhaven
would return that sattitude in the negotiations.

But now, Leroy was making trouble again.
Leroy shot Lisandra an irritable glance. No matter what, he was her uncle. How could she disrespect him so?
Seeing her cold expression and the icy authority she held, he snapped his mouth shut, silenced by the force of
her presence.
Lisandra stood up and bowed slightly to Rafael. “Commander Icarus is a Westhaven official. His attempt on your
princess consort’s life is a grievous offense. In my capacity as a grand princess of Westhaven, | offer my
apologies. How to deal with him is for your kingdom to decide.”
Since Icarus attempted to kill a princess consort of Starhaven, then Starhaven would handle the punishment.
Just as Aurora’s massacre in Fawnrun City should be dealt with by Westhaven.
Rafael also rose, giving a respectful nod. “Very well. We'll do as you say, Your Highness. This matter is closed.”
Lisandra felt her brow twitch slightly. She knew that Icarus’ assassination attempt would put them in a
disadvantageous position for the negotiations, but it had becunavoidable.
Now, Rafael wasn’t pressing the issue further. His leniency effectively set the tone for the negotiations on both
sides today.
She shot Leroy a sidelong glance.
See? A true general plans ahead. And you?
