Her Majestic Battle Cry 713
Chapter 713
In Harmony Palace, several matriarchs and Rosalind gradually left, leaving only Natalie behind. With so many
women in need of treatment, it was essential to have someone in charge, especially since Eleanor had yet to be
captured.
After Barrett and the others finished their treatment, they waited for the capital and garrison guards to complete
their work before sending them back. They were placed on the elevated platform, separated from the women in
the building.
Once Michael had dealt with the household soldiers and secured the servants of Harmony Palace, he gathered
the stewards in one place. He ensured the situation was under control before turning his attention to Barrett and
his group.
“How are you holding up?” Michael asked.
Among the five, two were severely injured. Their bleeding had been staunched, but they remained in critical
condition. The household physician had advised against moving them, so they were covered with thick blankets.
Barrett and the other two had also sustained serious injuries, but their situations were relatively better as none
of their vital areas had been hit.
It was only now that Barrett began to feel the searing pain. When Michael asked about his condition, he
gritted his teeth and replied, “I'm managing.”

Michael nodded. “Good. That's what I like to hear.”
Barrett hesitated momentarily before asking, “Sir, have the assassins been caught?”
“All the assassins escaped. Not a single one was apprehended,” Michael replied.
A surge of anger welled up in Barrett as he recalled how close he had cto dying in the dungeon.
“Sir, | suspect we've been used. | cface to face with one of the assassins. Although he was masked, |
recognized him.”
Michael chuckled softly and gave Barrett's shoulder a reassuring pat. “Do you know how | found the dungeon
where you were held? Barrett, you've done well.”
Barrett froze.
Had he done well?
He hadn't entertained that thought, nor did he have tto ponder it.
Barrett mulled over Michael's words. How had he been found in that dungeon? After Eleanor entered, the
dungeon door had been locked. If one didn’t know the entrance, there was no way in.
Had the Hell Monarch turned back to open the door and let Michael and the others in to rescue him?
But with so many soldiers from the Capital Guard and Garrison Unit around, wouldn't it have been dangerous for
Rafael to turn back after escaping? There would be no way to clear his nif he got caught or recognized. It
would be impossible, even if he sacrificed himself in this battle.
Barrett was skeptical, but the thought of having achieved something ignited a surge of excitement within.
Regardless of whether that man was truly the Hell Monarch or if he had cback to unlock the

dungeon door, the fact remained-Barrett had both accomplished something and been saved.
He desperately needed to prove himself. Initially, he had thought he was doomed to lead a mundane life as a
capital guard. Now, though, he found himself with a glimmer of hope.
Perhaps it was just his usual bad luck, but the heavens seemed to have dropped a slice of pie right into his lap.
Meanwhile, Harmony Palace was ablaze with light.
Eleanor Sanford was her name, given by Augustus himself rather than the Ministry of Protocol. It meant
benevolence”, as Augustus had wished for her to be broad-minded and cultured.
Unfortunately, she hadn't becwhat her father had envisioned.
Harmony Palace echoed with her furious roars.

“Why are you following me?! Get away! I'll kill you!”
Her voice was nearly hoarse, yet she continued to scream, her rage carrying from the backyard to the front.
Every person she could see wasn’t from her residence. The only one able to roam freely within Harmony Palace
was herself.
“Where's Florence? Where is she?!”
Stepping back into the main hall, Eleanor’s hair was in disarray, and she appeared utterly unhinged.
The battered and injured women in the main courtyard trembled in fear. Their terror of Eleanor had seeped into
their bones, and just hearing her voice made it hard to breathe.
Natalie paid Eleanor no mind and focused instead on watching the physician treat each injured woman. She had
already spoken to those who could talk and learned they had all been abducted.

Almost all of them weren't locals from the capital. Only one woman was from the capital-a pitifully thin one
named Melanie Lester. She was so weak, she could barely sit up. She had been coughing relentlessly, nearly
bringing up blood.
Eleanor grabbed Melanie’s hair, her eyes wild with fury. “You wretched girl! Who permitted you to cout? Get
back to the dungeon!”
No one anticipated Eleanor’s sudden outburst. After all, she had walked through the main hall several times
without acknowledging these women.
