Her Graceful War Song

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The Mystic Army wasn’t easy to manage, especially the high–ranking officers. The soldiers in the Mystic Army were chosen for their exceptional skills, and with skill came strong personalities–some might even call them troublemakers.

When Carissa first took command, Michael hadn’t respected her either. She had to beat him in a duel to win his loyalty. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Salvador added, “There’s something else I need to discuss with you. I have other plans for the Crown Guard’s current commander, so I’m considering promoting Barrett to that position. Do you have any objections?”

Carissa was caught off guard. Barrett was originally part of the Capital Guard, so even if he were to be promoted, it should be within the same unit. Promoting him directly to be commander of the Crown Guard would be a big leap.

Besides, from what she knew, Barrett wasn’t the only one who distinguished himself during the incident at Harmony Palace. Yet, he was the only one being promoted. And for it to happen on her first day as commander, people would surely assume she had a hand in it.

She was the Hell Monarch’s princess consort, yet she was promoting her former husband.

What would people think?

Carissa understood that being the Mystic Army’s commander wasn’t going to be easy. There would undoubtedly be more situations like this in the future, where her actions would be scrutinized and criticized. If she couldn’t handle the pressure, she might as well resign now.

“As long as it is your decision, Your Majesty, I have no objections,” she replied calmly.

Salvador smiled, a knowing smile that hinted at something more beneath the surface. “Good. Then, it’s settled. The Mystic Army’s office is in the Capital Guard’s headquarters. Once you get there, submit a recommendation letter to the Civil Department under your name. They’ll issue the official transfer documents. I’ll also formally establish an office for the Crown Guard. Of course, Barrett will essentially only be the deputy commander. You’ll remain in charge.”

He was really using her name.

Goodness, Salvador wasted no time putting her on the edge!

Well, that was fine. If her relationship with Rafael wasn’t solid and they couldn’t trust each other, this would surely plant the first seeds of doubt between them.
