Chapter 168

Author: Summer's Blaze
Rafael often reminisced about the past when he and Salvador shared an open, candid relationship. In those days, any advice or guidance Salvador had to offer was direct and straightforward, without any need for deception.

Luke recalled something, and said, "Your Highness, by His Majesty's grace, your mother will be moving into the estate in a few days. I’ve already arranged for Elysian Hall to be cleaned and furnished according to her specifications. The total cost came to thirty thousand silver coins."

Rafael furrowed his brow. "Thirty thousand silver coins? What kind of furniture costs that much?"

He decided to visit Elysian Hall himself. When he arrived, he saw that various types of peonies had been planted in the garden, and a special greenhouse had been constructed. Though it was unnecessary in the summer, it would be useful in winter.

Rafael's frown deepened. "Have all the orchids been removed?"

Luke followed behind Rafael, and answered cautiously, "They’ve all been relocated

  • Her Graceful War Song   Chapter 1662

    By the time they returned to Victory Pass, Barrett was running a high fever. Even on the road, he had barely been holding on. The pain gnawed at him endlessly, and in a rare moment of clarity, he had even begged Bun to finish him off, just to put an end to the torment.Once back, the army physician took over Barrett's care. The wound was cleaned, the rotting flesh scraped away. It was a process that brought fresh waves of agony.The days that followed passed in a haze. Barely able to keep anything down, Barrett grew thinner by the day.Meanwhile, Aurora's body was not sent back to the capital, but buried there at Victory Pass. As for her deeds—both good and bad—Dominic would report everything to Salvador in due time.Ultimately, Westhaven's army withdrew. Without supplies, Leroy's men couldn't keep up the fight even if they wanted to.According to Starhaven's scouts, Liam had returned to Westhaven's camp. It seemed he had set out to find Arthur at the border but fell into an ambus

    Aurora's wounds were far too grave. Carrying her on his back, Travis could already feel how faint her breathing was. Though she could barely complete a sentence, she managed to whisper something."Help… me, I don't want to die…"When they arrived at the abandoned house they had previously stayed at, the first thing they did was stop Barrett's bleeding. There was still hope for him to live.However, Aurora was in much worse condition. She had lost too much blood, and was likely suffering from internal injuries as well. It was a miracle she had survived this long.There was a look of despair in her eyes, yet one hand still clutched Carissa's sleeve with all her remaining strength. Her lips moved as though she wanted to plead for help, but no words came. When she opened her mouth, only blood poured out.Her gaze was unfocused, but she kept trying to find someone. Most assumed she was searching for Barrett, but he was being tended to. Travis was pressing down on his wound, trying to s

    After escorting Barrett and Aurora safely away, Cynthia and Bun hurried back to help Carissa escape.Aurora was reckless to risk her life by sneaking back. If Violet and the others hadn't been worried that she would put Carissa in danger, they would never have returned.Barrett stumbled awkwardly with Aurora in his arms, unable to fend off the attackers surrounding them. It didn't take long for her to be cast to the ground, and before she could regain her footing, a guard slashed her leg with his blade.Her scream echoed through the supply depot as Barrett struggled to hold his ground. He glanced back, paling at the sight of her left leg bleeding freely."Barrett, save me!" Aurora screamed, her face pale as death and her whole body shaking violently.The guard clearly wanted her alive, as he didn't strike to kill. A blade pressed against her throat as someone yanked her up. The furious guard muttered angrily under his breath, while another guard brought a rope to tie her up.At t

    Carissa saw that the others had already escaped. After waiting for the fire to burn a little longer, she flew towards the supply depot with her Lightfoot Skill.Though most people were busy fighting the fire, the supply depot was of the utmost importance. Around a dozen guards stood watch there. When they saw Carissa, who was dressed like a mountain villager, they moved forward to question her.Quickly, Carissa raised the oil barrel high and shouted loudly in Westic, "Fire! We need to help put it out!"As she shouted, she hurried toward the fire on the east side and pretended to join the effort to extinguish it. At the same time, nearby villagers soon arrived to help fight the flames. Running ahead of them, Carissa didn't seem out of place.The scene was chaotic. Some smothered the flames with thick cloth, others carried buckets of water, while some shoveled sand. Everyone tried every method they could. But the fire fed on the wood, growing too fierce. They had to stop it from spre

    Aurora didn't dare reply to Carissa's words.Instead, she swallowed her pride and quietly said, "Barrett, I'll go with you."Barrett cast a cool glance at Carissa and said, "Let's follow orders. Earning merit or not isn't the point. The important thing is to finish the task and get back alive."He didn't truly believe Carissa was going into the supply depot alone. After all, once the wood nearby was set aflame, the supply depot would become the most dangerous place of all. If she were to light the fire inside, how could she escape the roaring flames?Most likely, while they set fires outside, someone already hidden inside the supply depot would start the blaze, while Carissa would simply go through the motions.At first, Barrett felt a bitter sense of injustice. Such was the way of official life. Great families passed down their rank and influence through generations. With the support of the family's older generation, one could rise quickly, gain honor, and preserve the family's l

    Aurora was very angry at Cynthia's words, but she knew her own skills were indeed not as good as the others'. To argue would only make her look foolish. Since they didn't need her to keep watch, she could bear a little insult without complaint.Travis and Bun had originally planned to take turns keeping watch between just the two of them. But Carissa thought everyone was tired, and with five people sharing watch duty, they could all rest a bit more.Carissa was the first to stand guard. She sat by the door, leaning against the wall with whip in hand. The broken door could not be locked, so it was left slightly ajar. Outside, the night was pitch black and deathly silent.Dust covered the floor of the old house, which had not been lived in for some time. Still, they were prepared for hardship, so even Violet didn't complain. She simply lay down on the floor and fell asleep.Though tired, Carissa was not sleepy. Her mind was sharp, and she stayed very alert.She knew Arthur was somew
