However, that didn't make sense. Harvey had said that the Hell Monarch was the one who most wanted to avoid further conflict between their kingdoms. If war broke out again, the Sullivan family would inevitably bear the blame.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo, why did Rafael's words feel like he was pushing for anything but peace? "I'm sure both you and I need an opportunity like that, Mr. Stellwyn," the prince added, almost lazily.
Leroy studied Rafael, his eyes narrowed with scrutiny and confusion. Was Harvey intentionally deceiving him? But Harvey was now so tightly bound to his cause that there was no way he would have sent the wrong message.
Leroy's determination for war cfrom his need for a chance to establish himself, and now was the perfect opportunity. With Dominic facing punishment, he was unlikely to survive, let alone return to Victory Pass.
As for Rafael, who had been stripped of his military authority, he was left with only the position of Chief Judge. The marshal at Southern Frontier, Oliver, was practically useless, and the other generals at Victory Pass were no longer a threat without Dominic to lead them.
They all needed an opportunity? 1/2 Chapter 938 +25 BONUS Suddenly, Leroy's thoughts sharpened. Of course-a man who had been stripped of his military power had no other way to reclaim it but through war.

Starhaven might not want a war, but the Hell Monarch did. The Sullivan family wasn't his bloodline. What did his princess consor's grandfather matter to him? A man who had made great achievements like Rafael would never be content to go from a battlefield general to a position of courtly politics.
Leroy's mind began to whirl. His desire for war stemmed largely from the knowledge that Rafael had been disarmed and unable to fight. But now, it was clear that the Hell Monarch was determined to regain that power. If he took command of Victory Pass, Westhaven wouldn't have much hope of victory.
He watched Rafael's knowing smile. Leroy feared no one in all of Starhaven, but Victory Pass was no longer the impenetrable fortress it once had been. Dominic was not a legend anymore. The only person who had ever truly defeated the Sandorians and recaptured the Southern Frontier was Rafael. In just three years, the prince had done what no one else had managed in all the years Starhaven had struggled. As they talked, Lisandra remained unaware of their conversation. Carissa spoke to her quietly, distracting her. But judging from Leroy's sour expression, Lisandra could tell the conversation between the two men was not going well.
Leroy was impatient by nature. Before coming to Starhaven, he had loudly called for war, as if victory was already guaranteed the moment they went to battle. Now, seeing him humbled and with his spirit dampened, it was clear that the person he truly feared was the Hell Monarch.
That was fine. Rafael's presence alone was enough to keep him in check. Hopefully, his unease would help keep the upcoming talks in order and prevent his arrogance from disrupting the negotiations.
