Her Graceful War Song

Since Salvador received the first military report, his blood had been boiling with excitement.

"Carissa Sinclair, Hector Sinclair's daughter, the legitimate heiress of the Duke of Northwatch-who knew she would be so outstanding? She's even surpassed Aurora Yates!"NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

When Salvador got the news that llyrian had been captured, he slapped the table and laughed with wild Joy.

"Excellent! A general's daughter is never weak!"

He immediately summoned Jeremiah and Davis to show them the victory report.

Jeremiah was so moved, tears welled up in his eyes.

"We've reclaimed Ilyrian! Carissa Sinclair has done a tremendous job. She captured and held the support depot, allowing us to cut down on the cost of supplies. Just think of how much food and money this will save Starhaven! Hector, can you see this from the heavens? Your daughter is truly remarkable. She's living up to the Sinclair family's reputation!"

Davis was covered in goosebumps from excitement, and added, "Starhaven had Hector in the past, the Hell Monarch now, and Carissa rising as a young general. Among the young military talents we see now, these two can be called true generals. We have successfully transitioned to a new generation!"

Salvador could hardly contain his joy. "The most important thing is we're only left with Simonton to recapture. Once we do that, Sandoria will have no strength to counterattack. And once Sandoria withdraws, Westhaven will have no reason to stay in the Southern Frontier, unless they want to fight us) again at Victory Pass."

Jeremiah's tears flowed freely. "The Southern Frontier is about to be reclaimed. To see it return in my lifetime-I can die with no regrets!"

Davis knelt, and praised, "Your Majesty, this is all thanks to your wise leadership. You chose Carissa to go to the Southern Frontier, assisting the Hell Monarch in capturing llyrian and securing such an abundance of supplies. It even feels like the Westhaven forces were actually delivering supplies to us on the battlefield."

Obviously, Salvador hadn't sent Carissa to the battlefield. However, it was important to mention that he had secretly arranged it to showcase his foresight.

Salvador laughed heartily.

"You're right! They've solved our supply issues. With the heavy snow and ice blocking our way in this harsh winter, transporting food to the Southern Frontier was extremely difficult. Now that we have the supply depot in llyrian, we can ensure our soldiers are well-fed and warm before we take Simonton. This will help us win the battles!"

He was truly delighted. Reclaiming the Southern Frontier would be his greatest achievement as king, and future historians would certainly mark him as one of the most brilliant rulers.

Alas, this joy was tinged with regret.

Salvador felt deeply guilty toward the Sinclairs. When Hector faced danger on the battlefield, Salvador couldn't send reinforcements in time, leading to the death of him and his six sons. 11

Salvador had hoped that posthumously elevating Hector to a duke might help him make amends. But as Carissa had achieved great things and continued to showcase her family's loyalty to Starhaven, he felt at renewed sense of debt.

He sighed softly. It had been a mistake to grant Barrett and Aurora their marriage.

He ordered Davis to pass on a decree.

"Proclaim my edict: Carissa Sinclair has achieved remarkable military success. The Hell Monarch has appointed her as a regiment commander in the field, and I have no objections. I will further bestow upon her the title of a fifth-ranked Valor General. Once Simonton is captured and the Southern Frontier Is reclaimed, she will be promoted to fourth-ranked Illustrious General,"

Promises made to soldiers on the battlefield-must be kept, and both the prime minister and the defense minister knew that a new star was rising for the Duke of Northwatch's family,

It was unclear whether Barrett might feel some regret efter seeing how remarkable his ex-wife was on the battlefield.

Even if he did, it didn't matter much.

Nowadays, the common folk saw Carissa as a worthless woman, If anyone said the Warren family wasn't the cause of this matter, no one would believe them.
