Barrett’s expression shifted dramatically. “How do you know they’re in the mountains? What justice are they seeking?”Carissa took a few steps away, and Barrett limped after her. When she stopped, he stared at her expectantly.The wind howled around them, and Carissa’s voice was barely audible. “If you calm yourself and listen, you might hear something beyond the wind.”Barrett tried to focus, but apart from the wind, he heard nothing.His skills were not on par with Carissa’s, and his inner force was minimal. How could he hear any movement in the mountains, especially with such a strong wind? It was impossible to discern the presence of nearly a hundred thousand people.He suspected Carissa was being evasive, and his frustration grew. “What justice are they seeking?”“Use your brain. Why would a hundred thousand soldiers stay in the mountains without retreating? Why capture Aurora? And why come to the Southern Frontier after signing the treaty?”After saying this, Carissa walke

Night fell, and the Westhaven army descended from the mountain. When the troops began to move, Carissa and Violet knew about it and exchanged glances.Carissa stood up, and issued a command, "Everyone, stay alert! Weapons at the ready."The entire Mystic Army rose to their feet. Holding their shields and weapons in hand, they swiftly moved into their battle formation.The Westhaven soldiers moved quickly, descending the mountain in three parallel columns. The soldiers at the front held torches, with one torchbearer every ten men to provide illumination.The mountain was icy, making their rapid descent risky. A single slip could cause a disastrous chain reaction. Yet, they moved with remarkable steadiness, clearly wearing specially designed footwear.Westhaven was a wealthy and powerful kingdom, and its troops were showcasing its financial might at this moment. Their actions served as a stark reminder to the Starhaven soldiers that engaging in large-scale warfare with Westhaven wou

Barrett felt a shiver under the intensity of Liam's gaze, and instinctively took a step back. Liam was obviously reluctant to engage in conversation with Barrett. He stood before Carissa, his expression a complex mix of emotions."General Sinclair, the massacre of your family was not my order," he began, his tone earnest. "The leader of our spies issued that command. He did it because he learned that Aurora's forces had wiped out several villages in Fawnrun City, and that she had subjected a prisoner of war to inhumane treatment."Our king and the entire Westhaven court uphold a strict policy: issues on the border should not involve the lives of civilians. We do not condone the slaughter of innocents, especially not the elderly, women, and children of an entire family. "While your kingdom's general had committed grievous acts, I must apologize on behalf of Westhaven for everything they have done."Barrett was stunned. "W-What nonsense are you talking about?"Liam paid no atte

Liam and Edmund left with the Westhaven soldiers. "If you want to rescue Aurora," Carissa said to Barrett, "take your trusted aides up the mountain."By saying this, Carissa was actually preserving some dignity for both Barrett and Aurora. If the shame endured by the Westhaven crown prince were to be repeated on them, the things Barrett would see upon going up the mountain would surely be appalling.However, Barrett was concerned there might still be Westhaven troops stationed on the mountain. Thus, he requested that Carissa lend him the Mystic Army to accompany him.Carissa regarded him for a moment. "Are you certain?"Feeling an inexplicable tremor at her gaze, he asked, "Can you tell me if Aurora truly committed the massacres?""You should have asked Liam earlier," Carissa replied calmly. "Or, you can ask Aurora yourself when you meet her. Liam is unlikely to have killed her."Barrett found it hard to believe that Aurora could have committed such acts. He recalled Liam's wor

Aurora had lost consciousness. Liam kept choking her, dragging her back and forth between life and death. At the same time, he slashed her with a knife on her body and face. Also, he had cut off one of her ears.As Barrett carried her out, she remained unaware of her rescue, still in a state of unconsciousness. However, it was clear to everyone that Aurora wasn’t wearing any pants. Many had also seen the pool of blood beneath her, revealing the horrors she had endured.Barrett’s expression was livid. He finally understood why Carissa had insisted that he only bring his trusted aides up the mountain.He shot a fierce, resentful glance at Carissa. Until Aurora told him the truth herself, he refused to believe Liam’s accusations. He was unwilling to accept that Aurora had indirectly caused the death of Carissa's family.Seeing his eyes, Carissa saw only a coward. She ignored him, and proceeded with the rescue efforts.Soldiers entered the cabin to carry out the remaining prisoner

Barrett looked at Aurora as if she were a stranger.The person before him was nothing like the woman he had loved. She was cruel and cold, like a demon. He had sacrificed all his military achievements for her, betraying Carissa in the process.He was the biggest fool in the world.Yet, he remembered Aurora's words about loyalty and righteousness—how women shouldn’t be confined to the house, but should bear the responsibility of defending their homeland. At that time, Aurora's eyes had been filled with fervent brilliance.Barrett collapsed to the ground, his face a mask of tears and laughter. Suddenly, he erupted into maniacal laughter—a crazed, frenzied laugh that filled the room.Aurora was terrified by his outburst. Struggling against her pain, she propped herself up and looked at him in shock. “Barrett, w-what’s wrong? Don’t scare me.”Barrett laughed until tears streamed down his face. He covered his face with his hands, his shoulders shaking as tears leaked through his f

Seeing Barrett remain silent, Aurora grew anxious. Ignoring her injuries, she said angrily, “They did hurt me, but they definitely didn’t violate me! I’m telling you the absolute truth. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them yourself!”Barrett's expression darkened. “What’s the point in asking? Isn’t it humiliating enough already?”Aurora felt a chill at his words, and was deeply hurt. “You don’t believe me?”Barrett smiled sadly. “Believe you? Have you ever told me a single truth? Every time I asked you about Victory Pass, you always said it was because you spread rumors that the Hell Monarch was heading there as reinforcement. So Liam retreated and went back to sign a treaty with you. You even hid something so important from me. How can I trust you again?”“I didn’t tell you because I knew you wouldn’t like it…” Aurora appeared very agitated and almost frantic. “You kept saying you didn’t want to harm the civilians of both kingdoms, but I clearly saw the enemy hiding in th

As Carissa spoke, she lifted the bowl and drank the soup in one gulp. Her bold gesture made Rafael smile."By the way, why did the crown prince of Westhaven appear in Fawnrun City?"Carissa had always been puzzled about that. She had heard that this prince was highly esteemed in Westhaven, known for his wisdom and virtue.Why had he been in Fawnrun City? After all, he wasn't a military general."There's internal strife within the Westhaven royal family. The crown prince was framed by the second prince and forced to go to the battlefield. Liam knew the crown prince couldn't fight, so he hid him in Fawnrun City, as it was away from the fighting. No one expected he would encounter Aurora," Rafael explained."The second prince?" Carissa frowned slightly. "With the death of the crown prince of Westhaven, the other princes will vie for the throne. If the second prince becomes the crown prince, it won't be good for Starhaven."After all, the second prince harbored hostility and malice t
