Her Graceful War Song Chapter 285
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

However, when Frederick came to Valor Estate to collect the debt, the servants reported it to Rebecca. She immediately summoned Barrett to explain the situation.Knowing that the incident couldn't be hidden any longer, as too many servants had seen and heard what happened, Barrett decided to tell his mother everything in detail.Rebecca's face turned ashen with fury. "A disaster, truly a disaster! How could you have chosen such a calamity for a wife? Is it not enough that she wreaks havoc every day at home, now she's even going to Northwatch Estate to cause trouble? Does she think our family can afford to offend the Duke of Northwatch's family now? Has she even looked at herself in the mirror? Did she go there specifically to embarrass us?"Her hand clutching her chest, Rebecca continued to curse, "A disaster, a complete disaster! She must have gone there to deliberately provoke Carissa, trying to interfere with your marriage to the Prince family's third lady."Barrett suddenly rea

Barrett eventually decided to seek out Aurora. He didn't want to argue anymore—they needed to have a proper conversation.When he entered the room, he found her curled up in a blanket on the chaise lounge, a black veil on her face as usual. Ever since she obtained the scars on her face, she had made a variety of veils in different colors. She refused to leave the house without wearing a veil or a hood.In the past, whenever they met, Aurora always had the look of someone ready for a fight, as if she could start a battle with Barrett at any moment. But today, she looked weak and sickly. When she saw her husband, she merely glanced up before lowering her gaze, ignoring him altogether.The maid standing by her side noticed and said, "General Warren, you're finally here. Madam Aurora has been ill for two days."Barrett knew his wife had called for a physician, so he asked, "Are you feeling any better?"Aurora turned away from him, refusing to respond.It seemed that neither of them w
Her Graceful War Song Chapter 292
As Barrett stepped out of the estate, a sudden impulse surged within him—a strong desire to rush straight to Northwatch Estate.He wanted to ask Carissa in person if there was still any chance between them.Even though Aurora had said today that Carissa thought nothing of him, even though Carissa's attitude on the battlefield had been clear, even though he had been so resolute in divorcing her back then, he still couldn't believe that his former wife could have erased him from her heart so quickly.He thought she was merely angry at his ruthlessness, that she hated him for not keeping his promises. As long as she still felt anger and hate, it meant she still cared.But the biting cold wind brought Barrett back to reality—or perhaps he had been clear-headed all along and had just been momentarily overwhelmed by emotion.Things were already set in stone.There was no point in seeking out Carissa. Even if she still had some lingering feelings for her former husband, she was going to
