Penny's actions had forced Lisandra to make a decision. Summoning the rest of the envoys, she draped her outer robe over her shoulders and forced herself to sit upright in a chair."Negotiations will resume tomorrow afternoon. The terms are up for discussion. There's no need to be so rigid," she announced bluntly.Leroy's eyes widened. "Discussion? How do you plan to discuss it? Are you saying we should just agree if they demand we pull back our borders?""We'll put the border issue on hold for now," replied Lisandra, who had already made up her mind and was resolute, disregarding their objections. "We aim to reach an agreement by tomorrow or the day after, then we'll leave for home immediately.""You can't..."Lisandra gave her uncle a cold glance. "I'm not asking for your opinion. This is my decision. If you're unhappy, keep it to yourself."A furious Leroy shot back, "This is pure stubbornness! If we put the border issue aside, how are we supposed to explain it to the king and

As dawn broke the next morning, Yuna went to find Carissa and asked her to bring Sebastian to see Lisandra. At the same time, Garrick headed to the Diplomatic Affairs Department to prepare for the afternoon's continuation of the negotiations.Sebastian knew Lisandra would request to see him, so he had gotten up early that day and was now waiting for someone to call on him. When Carissa arrived, his carriage was already ready. Without her needing to speak, Sebastian called for Ivy to bring his medicine box."Concord Lodge, right?" he said.Carissa smiled. "You already knew?""Grand Princess Lisandra's headaches are severe. Without me, she won't be able to handle the upcoming negotiations, let alone return home to deal with pressing matters."Sebastian was as confident as ever in his medical skills.Carissa sat in the carriage with him, asking, "What's going on with Grand Princess Lisandra's headaches? Is it just tension?""That's part of it. From what I can tell, it's clear she's

This outcome was favorable for both kingdoms.Lisandra had plans of her own for when she returned home, so she could not afford to back down on the border issue. If she did, all that she had worked for would be in jeopardy, and the support of the people would slip from her grasp.The day after the treaty was signed, the Westhaven envoys entered the palace to bid their farewells. Salvador had intended to host a farewell banquet for them, but Lisandra's determination to return home immediately left him with no choice but to agree to her wishes.Meanwhile, the Ministry of Justice had already placed Aurora in a prison cart and sent her to Concord Lodge.When she saw that there was no sign of Dominic, panic surged through her."Why is it just me? Where is Dominic? Doesn't he need to take responsibility too?" she shouted loudly.Lonnie quickly gagged her mouth and passed her over to Leroy.It was the first time the Westhaven envoys had seen Aurora since entering the capital. The anger

The group followed Patrick inside, with Carissa holding Lulu's hand the entire way.The two Westhaven spies were brought in, their clothes torn and bloodstained. Their faces were so swollen that it was impossible to distinguish their features, as though they had been slapped dozens of times. Forced to kneel on the ground, they were struggling to stay upright, their bodies nearly falling forward.Lulu's eyes were red, filled with searing rage. Like Carissa, she had never once forgotten the terrible tragedy of the massacre at Northwatch Estate. Now that the larger situation had been settled, she could finally take revenge for her family and for Melanie.The pain and fury in her heart surged forth like a tidal wave. She wanted to rush up and beat them senseless, but she couldn't afford to lose her composure in front of Patrick or embarrass Rafael and Carissa."When these two spies were brought to the Ministry of Justice, they still had defiant looks on their faces, as if they were rea

After dinner, Dominic and Rafael spent a long time talking in the study. Carissa had originally wanted to listen in, but her grandfather told her it was a conversation for men, so it wouldn't be appropriate for her to be there. Reluctantly, she agreed and left, heading off to find Winona and Kyle.During the meal that evening, Everett had announced he would be returning to Meadow Ridge. He insisted that the others should return with him, especially Kyle. He had scolded him for staying at Hell Monarch Estate, saying that the place was overcrowded with visitors, disrupting the peace.In reality, most of the people coming to visit Kyle were well-known scholars and artists of the court. However, Everett had said that the more connected to court someone was, the less they should be involved with them. He didn't want Rafael getting dragged into unnecessary trouble, so he ordered them to leave Hell Monarch Estate at once.Winona privately said that Everett was being two-faced. When he need
