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. Thanks to your blessings, Your Majesty, as well as the blessings of Starhaven's ancestors, we have fulfilled our mission and reclaimed the Southern Frontier,” Rafael loudly declared.His voice echoed through the city gates, resonating through the capital.Like an explosion, the crowd erupted into cheers, filled with both joy and tears.Salvador felt his eyes burn as he personally stepped forward to help Rafael to his feet.

Lulu was the happiest and the most tearful.She practically flew as she chased after the king's carriage, crying out, "My lady! My lady...!"Carissa glanced at her helplessly. Lulu was laughing and crying at the same time, showing no restraint at all.Sitting beside Carissa, Rafael glanced at Lulu and said thoughtfully, "Her name is Lulu, isn't it?""You still remember her, Your Highness?" Carissa asked in surprise."Yes," Rafael replied with a slight smile. "I remember one year when I went to the Pathfinders Guild, I saw that girl picking apples from a tree. When she saw your senior and I, she was so frightened she fell off the tree."Carissa was even more surprised. "You've been to the Pathfinders Guild before?""Yes. Before I was deployed to the Southern Frontier battlefield, I used to go to the guild once a year," he said softly.The June sunlight shone brightly in his eyes, but his gaze quickly dimmed as he continued, "I haven't been there since.""I didn't know about tha

Aurora returned to the capital in a state of dejection.Barrett kept his distance from her, even though he was injured and could have used her support. He was adamant about avoiding any physical contact with her. Even the others who had been captured with her glared at her with hatred.They knew why they had been castrated—it was because in Fawnrun City, Aurora had tortured that young general and ordered his castration, humiliating him.Now, the eighteen soldiers who were captured had been treated the same way by the Westhaven soldiers, and they couldn't voice their suffering or express their grievances. Their hatred for Aurora ran deep.Throughout the journey, they avoided her as much as possible. They didn't want to speak to her, and even when they saw her, they kept their distance.Aurora remembered her earlier enthusiasm, believing she would achieve great things in this war. Instead, she had returned with half her face disfigured and despised by everyone. She could barely tole

Aurora froze for a moment, then snapped, "Who said that? Who said I was defiled?""Just answer the question," Rebecca said, her face turning dark with anger. "Word has already spread all over town. Who needs to ask? Everyone is talking about it!"Aurora hadn't expected news of the Southern Frontier events to reach the capital. Her mind went blank.She raised her voice defensively, "I wasn't defiled. Yes, I was captured, but I only endured physical suffering. My purity remains intact."Jonathan interjected, "Then, you should find someone to vouch for you. Weren't there others with you when you were captured? They can testify for you."Aurora's frustration grew as she thought about her cousin and the other soldiers. Barrett had questioned them, but they all claimed ignorance. They had all been locked up together in the wooden hut, so how could they not know?Their claims of ignorance led Barrett and everyone else to believe that Aurora had been defiled.Unable to find anyone to pr

After hearing Jonathan's words, Rebecca began to seriously consider the possibility.Carissa was now the esteemed young lady of a duke's family. If Barrett married her, he would immediately inherit a title. Rebecca had considered this before, but at the time, she believed Aurora and Barrett could forge a successful career together.In that case, why bother letting her son be the subject of public gossip? But what was the difference between that and what they were facing now?With the scandal surrounding Aurora, there was no shortage of gossip. A defiled woman tarnished the family name and jeopardized the marriage prospects of the younger relatives. If Barrett inherited a title, at least the marriages of Bryan and Serena could be given some consideration due to the prestige of the duke's household.Moreover, if Carissa returned, the vast wealth she brought with her would also return. The Warren family had been impoverished lately; they couldn't even afford medicine. Plus, Carissa wa

Moreover, if Carissa agreed to come back, that would be fine. But if she refused, it would be quite embarrassing!After considering, Rebecca decided, "Let's send Charlotte first. If she refuses, we'll think of another way."Rebecca was unwilling to go herself. If Carissa were to truly reconcile with Barrett, Rebecca wouldn't be able to maintain her position as a strict mother-in-law. The Warren family already had enough trouble with Aurora—they couldn't afford to have another difficult situation.-While Rebecca was mulling over her predicament, Carissa had already gone to Serenity Palace to meet Victoria.The empress dowager was in her early fifties, but she had taken very good care of herself. Despite a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she appeared youthful. Her black hair was speckled with a few strands of white, but they were not very noticeable.She exuded an air of grandeur and elegance, and her demeanor became even more gentle and approachable when she looked at Ca
Her Graceful War Song Chapter 146
Victoria's voice was choked with emotion.When Carissa was very young, she often accompanied Melanie to the palace. At that time, Victoria was still the queen consort.Victoria and Melanie's most frequent topic of conversation was that women should strive for themselves, and not spend their entire lives being subservient to men. They should have their own thoughts and live their lives to the fullest.Whenever this topic came up, Victoria would sigh, saying that she was trapped within the high walls of the harem. Though it appeared she lived a life of luxury and wealth, it was also a life without freedom.Melanie would agree, saying that women didn't necessarily have to marry and bear children; they could also venture into the world and carve out their own path.That was why, when Carissa was seven, she was allowed to leave home and join the Pathfinders Guild to learn martial arts. With the skills to defend herself, she could explore the world without fearing for her safety.In an

Liam was indeed admirable. But if Westhaven's second prince seized the throne and discovered the truth behind the crown prince's death, he might not hesitate to send troops to Victory Pass again. The man was a warmonger, and Liam couldn’t restrain him.After discussing these frustrating matters, the conversation shifted to Carissa and her friends. Salvador was quite pleased, and praised Carissa highly.Looking at Rafael, Salvador said, "I have already spoken with the queen about bringing Carissa into the palace as a concubine."Rafael was still worried about the succession struggle in Westhaven, so he nodded absentmindedly. "Good... Wait, what?"He sprang to his feet, instantly sober despite all the alcohol he had consumed. His eyes widened in shock as he stared at Salvador. "Salvador, did you say you want Carissa to enter the palace as a concubine?""Why are you so agitated?" Salvador gave him a sideways glance. "She has now achieved military merit and is the legitimate daughte
