Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1099

About an hour later, the person Carissa sent to inquire returned.

"Ms. Spencer is not at Hell Monarch Estate. I asked the people at the estate, and they said she went to Skye Embroidery. I went there, but she wasn't there either. They did say that some supplies had arrived from Edgeview Estate today, but Ms. Spencer didn't personally inspect them. They're all piled outside, and they won't take them until they're checked."

Carissa's heart skipped a beat.

Supplies from Edgeview Estate were sent to Skye Embroidery? What about Claire and the others? Had they gone with Violet?

She quickly stood up and ran out, calling for Mabel. She waited a while, but Mabel didn't come out. That was strange—Mabel had been with her today. Where had she gone?

Something was off—very off.

"Commander Sinclair, what's wrong?" Max came running after her. "Are you looking for Mabel? I saw her when I came back. She seemed to have left in a hurry."

"Where did you see her?" Carissa asked quickly.

"Right outside the Capital Guard headquarters, as I was coming back through the city gate."

"Wasn't that when Prince Yuvan was leaving the city?" Carissa's heart sank. She quickly rushed to the stables, calling over her shoulder to Max, "Cancel tonight's training. Everyone is to come with me to find Violet. Call Deputy Commander Brown and his team to follow us!"

She wasn't sure if something had happened to Violet, but her unease was growing stronger by the second.

Max followed closely. "Commander Sinclair, even though Sage Violet isn't at the estate or the workshop, she might have gone somewhere else. Don't worry too much."

"That's why we're going to find her!"

Carissa led Lightning from the stable and mounted her horse, galloping away. She went first to Glimmering Tower. Skywing Spire had a branch there, and she hoped to find out if Claire was there.

The shopkeeper of Glimmering Tower said they hadn't seen Claire. None of the other scouts were there either, and they didn't say anything before they had left.

Carissa didn't care that her face was drenched in sweat; she asked quickly, "Why the alley? Wasn't she supposed to deliver the goods to the workshop?"

"Yes, Claire said Ms. Spencer was standing at the entrance of Edgeview Estate, watching the staff unload the goods. She was supposed to escort them, but when she was following behind the cart with the silk thread, she just vanished."

"How could she vanish? Didn't she ride a horse?"

Carissa felt a chill run through her body. Remembering Yuvan's strange, knowing gaze made her skin crawl. Fear began to rise in her chest.

"Did she drink any water at Edgeview Estate? Eat anything? What about Claire?"

Mabel answered each question in turn, explaining, "Claire said Ms. Spencer only stood at the gate and never drank or ate anything at Edgeview Estate. She didn't step inside the estate, and the goods were only lightly checked. Ms. Spencer planned to inspect them properly when they got to the workshop.

"Claire has been following Prince Yuvan's carriage, and the scouts from Glimmering Tower have been spread out looking for her. She asked me to come back and tell you what happened. She suspects Ms. Spencer was taken, but it's just a suspicion. There's no proof."
