Rebecca sent invitations to the wives of the two deputy ministers of the Ministry of Defense, as well as to the wife of the Minister of Defense himself. Though she doubted the latter would attend, she was confident that the wives of the deputy ministers would come.Rebecca planned to ask them about the general situation of the war and how the Ministry of Defense would reward the meritorious.However, on the day of the tea party, neither of the deputy ministers' wives showed up. Even the wives of slightly higher-ranking officials did not attend. Only the wives of fifth- or sixth-rank officials, and even some of seventh or eighth rank, came with their families. Some of these guests were not even on the invitation list, which made Rebecca both angry and distressed.She had spent so much money on this tea party to raise her family's profile and create a strong and favorable impression for Barrett and Aurora. When they returned victorious, she hoped Salvador and the Ministry of Defense w

Initially, everyone speculated that Aurora was the female general who had led the Mystic Army. However, after Rebecca's tea party, some people began to notice hints that suggested otherwise.The storyteller, known for his knack for suspense, first piqued the interest of his audience before revealing, "At the tea party hosted by Madam Warren at Valor Estate, neither the wives of the Ministry of Defense's two deputy ministers nor any other family members of Ministry of Defense officials were in attendance. What does that imply? I'm afraid it implies that the female general who led the army was likely not General Yates."The coffeehouse patrons were shocked, and the storyteller's words sparked a lively discussion.If it wasn't Aurora, then who? There was no other female general in the current era.A few days later, people managed to find out some information and started to talk about how Barrett's ex-wife, who had left him, went to the battlefield.The people of the capital still viv

In coffeehouses across the capital, storytellers spared no effort in embellishing Carissa's military achievements, portraying her conquest of the cities as a grand tale of heroism. As a result, the common people grew to admire Carissa immensely, completely forgetting the harsh words they had once spoken about her after her divorce.Heather finally understood why she had been confined to her quarters. When her daughter got married, Carissa had sent people to offer congratulatory gifts, which Heather had declined. At the time, she had complained to those around her, saying that Carissa, being a divorced woman, had no business sending gifts—it was bad luck.Upon hearing of this, Harvey was furious and slapped her. "She's your niece! If your sister in heaven knew what you did, would she not be upset with you for being so heartless? It's one thing for strangers to show Carissa disdain, but you're her aunt! You're truly…"Harvey was a leisurely prince with no real power or responsibilitie

The events in the capital were unknown to Carissa, who was far away at the Southern Frontier.The war was long over, but the troops could not fully withdraw yet. The first reason was the severe cold, which made marching difficult. The second reason was that many areas of the Southern Frontier were in ruins after years of conflict, and the soldiers were helping with the reconstruction.Since the end of the war, rumors about Aurora's capture and disgrace had spread throughout the army. No matter how much she denied it, there were many soldiers who had rushed into the wooden hut and seen her state that day.It was not a secret that could be hidden.Aurora had sought out Zeke and the others to testify on her behalf, but what could they say? Having endured brutal beatings and mutilation, they could barely say whether Aurora had been violated or not.Besides, Zeke was furious with his cousin and refused to even speak with her. Meanwhile, the other soldiers who had once been grateful to

We should go back and receive the people's praise," Travis said.They didn't have grand ambitions; their greatest aspiration was to perfect their martial arts skills.

Carissa entered briskly. After greeting Rafael, she felt a strange unease.What was wrong with Dylan? Why was he looking at her with such an odd look on his face?When Rafael gave Dylan a cold look, the latter chuckled and said, "I'll take my leave, then."Once outside, Dylan didn't stray far. He hid just beyond the entrance to eavesdrop."Have a seat," Rafael told Carissa.Rafael cast an irritated look at the entrance. It was obvious someone was eavesdropping. Even if Dylan wanted to do so, couldn't he have hidden better?Aware of Dylan's presence, Carissa sat down and gave Rafael a questioning look, then pointed at the door, wondering why Dylan was still there.Rafael shook his head with a smile. "Ignore him. What brings you here?"Carissa straightened and asked earnestly, "Marshal, I know we're preparing to return to the capital. Before that, may I visit the place where my father and brothers fell? I'd like to pray for their souls to accompany us back to the capital."The r

The next day, news that Barrett had taken the punishment meant for Aurora spread throughout the entire camp. Since Aurora’s capture, rumors about the two of them had circulated widely, and nearly everyone at the Southern Frontier knew about it.At first, Aurora tried to ignore the gossip, going about her day as if to silence the criticism with indifference. But as the murmurs grew louder and the stares more curious, she could no longer tolerate it and used her lingering injuries as an excuse to withdraw and hide away.On the other hand, Barrett bore the brunt of it silently. He heard the whispers, but could offer no response or explanation. He knew the issue involved more than just personal scandal—it connected to the Victory Pass battle, the Westhaven civilians slaughtered by Aurora, and…These were matters that could not be explained away and any attempt to do so would only worsen the situation.The soldiers, however, were unaware of these complexities. They simply believed that

The melody stirred every heart, making blood surge and eyes blaze with heat. As the drums' final, heavy beats signaled the end of the performance, silence fell over the crowd.Carrying Hector's memorial plaque, Rafael lifted it high as if to let Hector enter the city first. With the plaque raised, he stepped forward into the city, followed by the others. Everyone holding a plaque remained silent and solemn.Once inside the city, they knelt before Salvador.“I, Rafael Sanford, together with the late Hector Sinclair and our soldiers, have returned victorious.
