Her Graceful War Song Chapter 282
Carissa had stayed up late, so she was groggy and barely coherent when Lulu came to report early in the morning.Aurora was outside the estate, demanding to see Carissa. The noise was so disruptive that Lulu had no choice but to wake her mistress.As Carissa sat up in bed, blinking away sleep, she was stunned to realize that Aurora had actually come. She focused her inner force on listening more closely and confirmed that the commotion outside was indeed Aurora's voice, accompanied by thunderous banging on the door.If this continued, it would disturb Ryan. Although he had improved significantly, loud and aggressive noises still frightened him.Carissa's first instinct was to grab her Rose Spear and drive Aurora away. However, with Northwatch Estate surrounded by influential families, she couldn't afford to embarrass herself by personally handling such a situation. It was beneath her status to engage directly with Aurora.However, Carissa's curiosity was piqued. She wondered what

After Carissa finished speaking, Aurora burst into wild laughter."You can't even speak the truth, Carissa. Where is your so-called bravery? It's nothing but hypocrisy!"Carissa ignored her and continued, "I remember the arrogant way you spoke when you came to see me. You demeaned women and reduced them to dust. I don't envy you, I only despise you. As a woman yourself, you have no pity for your own kind, and your character is questionable."Aurora snorted coldly. "Is that so? But even then, you had impressive martial arts skills. Since you found me displeasing, why didn't you take the chance to fight me?""Because it was beneath me!" Carissa's eyes darkened. "To me, you were nothing more than a buffoon. I had no interest in engaging with you. Besides, your offenses against me were only verbal, so I retaliated with words. The one who betrayed his promise was Barrett, so my ire was directed solely at him.""Beneath you, huh? I don't believe you didn't want to kill me back then." Au

Carissa stood and walked through the puddle on the floor, each step bringing her closer to Aurora.She bent down and whispered into Aurora's ear, "Has Liam's revenge not made you see the truth yet? Do you still think you're the greatest female general in the world? Aurora, you're nothing. Barrett married you out of novelty. If he truly loved you, he would have given you the position of a primary wife instead of a secondary wife."Aurora's face turned pale. "That's because he still wanted to preserve your dignity. As for me, I don't care about the title."Carissa grabbed the other woman's collar, then released it before smoothing out her neckline with a touch that carried a bone-chilling coldness."Do you think I care about the dignity he preserved for me? And what do you gain from not caring about titles? You came here today and flaunted your power. Did you think I might be concerned about my reputation and let you make a scene?"Carissa gripped Aurora's chin, pressing hard enough

Being called lowly struck a nerve for Aurora. She sprang to her feet and aimed a kick at Carissa's abdomen. Carissa didn't even dodge, simply countering with a sharp elbow to the other woman's shin.Aurora cried out in agony as a bone-shattering pain surged through her leg.Carissa seized Aurora by the collar and pushed her into a chair, leaning over her with a cold, unyielding gaze."You dare to act up in my house? What exactly are you here for today?"Aurora struggled with all her might but couldn't break free. In her frantic efforts, her veil fell off, revealing half of her disfigured face.Seeing Carissa's eyes fixed on her, Aurora's composure broke and she screamed in despair, "It's you! I came here to hold you accountable. You could have led your troops to rescue me, but you didn't! You even stopped Barrett from coming to my aid!"Carissa, you hate me for taking Barrett from you, so you deliberately allowed Liam to humiliate me. You're bitter, you're resentful, and you stil

Carissa kicked the back of Aurora's knee, making her collapse to the ground."Do you know how they died? Each of them was stabbed eighteen times. Why eighteen? Think carefully!""No!"Aurora's face turned ashen. She swallowed hard, her eyes darting around as memories resurfaced. She recalled the Westhaven junior general they had captured, who had turned out to be royalty.He had been stabbed eighteen times, and they had even cut off his…"It's impossible. The crimes were committed by Westhaven people. Your family was killed by Westhaven spies. It has nothing to do with me. Not in the slightest!"Aurora tried to rise and flee, but Carissa firmly held her shoulders, keeping her immobilized on her knees."Because of what you did at Victory Pass, my entire family was wiped out. They didn't even spare my youngest nephew. He was frail from birth and constantly on medication. Eighteen stab wounds… His entire body was hacked to pieces, and there was blood everywhere. The whole Northwatc

Aurora recalled everything that had happened on the Southern Frontier battlefield. Reflecting on the events now, she recognized that she had indeed fallen into a trap. She had suspected many things, but had been unwilling to believe, instead coming up with numerous excuses and reasons.The biggest reason she clung to was that Rafael aimed to elevate Carissa, thus erasing Aurora's achievements and declaring in advance that she would receive no credit.But Carissa was here, laying everything bare and dissecting it piece by piece.Aurora had no place to hide. She could only shuffle to the door, curl up there, and mutter, "No, it wasn't like that."Carissa stood before the memorial plaques, her figure shadowed by the candles behind her, making her expression indistinct.Her voice was soft and haunting as she said, "Aurora, you're still alive. You should be grateful."Yet, my family will never return, all because of you. Tell me, is it a wonder that I hate you? I've endured for so lon

Aurora couldn't bring herself to meet Carissa's gaze, as cold and sharp as a blade. Every word Carissa spoke was unpleasant to hear, yet not a single one was untrue.Aurora had been desperate to achieve something. After the battle at Victory Pass, she believed she had succeeded, and that she had done so with exceptional merit. No longer just the daughter of an old soldier, she was now a general in her own right.She looked down on everyone and felt superior, but deep down, she knew she was still insignificant. Otherwise, with her accomplishments, she wouldn't have been relegated to the position of Barrett's secondary wife.Most people wouldn't have accepted such a fate.Aurora's acceptance was driven by two reasons—her deep affection for Barrett, as well as the realization that, without her achievements, she would never be able to reach the heights of the Warren family.She dismissed the trivialities of domestic struggles, claiming she wanted women to excel on the battlefield, con

Two days later, Frederick arrived at Valor Estate with two guards in tow.Since Aurora returned home the previous day, she had been suffering from a high fever. She had called for a physician that night and taken medicine. Though she managed to sleep, her nightmares persisted. Only today was she starting to feel a bit better.However, she hadn't given the promissory note much thought, dismissing it as just another attempt by Carissa to humiliate her. To Carissa, fifty silver coins were nothing—why would she truly come to collect them?But Frederick had indeed come to claim the money.When Aurora was informed of Frederick's arrival, she felt a deep sense of embarrassment, as if she were burning with fever again.Barrett was at home today as he wasn't on duty. He had no idea that Aurora had caused a scene at Northwatch Estate a few days prior.He hadn't even noticed her leaving—they had been arguing frequently, so he had been staying in the study. His visits to the residential area
