Chapter 449

Author: Summer's Blaze
The atmosphere had indeed become awkward; even Helen, who was usually a bit slow to pick up on things, noticed it. She took the initiative to break the silence.

"Not long ago, Carissa added many rare and beautiful flowers to my collection. Why don't we go take a look? The bougainvillea on the wall has also bloomed, and it makes for a vibrant display. If we don't see it now, it will soon wither."

Carissa joined in, "That's right. If you're not interested in flowers and would rather see the performances, follow me."

She first helped Helen down from her seat, and then took Alice's arm gently. "Come, let's go enjoy the flowers. It's been a while since we last spoke, and I'd like to catch up with you."

Alice appeared somewhat dazed. She couldn't understand why Viola had married Barrett, and now, why was she here today? The Farrell family had allowed her to return to her natal family, hoping she would find a suitable match—but Barrett was not that match.

Alice felt a deep sense of revu

    Aurora was in disbelief. It was such a difficult mission, yet they were only planning on sending seven people?Earlier, she had said she would bring Carissa and her friends along on this mission. That was because she hoped that including Dominic's granddaughter would persuade him to appoint more soldiers to the mission. With more men, Aurora could keep herself safe while making sure she completed the mission and earned merit.But now, hearing that only seven people would go, she thought less of glory and more of survival. The risk far outweighed the reward. She was no fool and didn't wish to volunteer.Yet Aurora didn't refuse at once. Instead, she rose and looked at Carissa. "You initially intended to go with only five people, right? Are you certain you can complete the task without fail?"Carissa met her gaze steadily. "Nothing is ever without risk. We can only do our best."Aurora frowned. "And how sure are you?""Probably a sixty or seventy percent chance. But even if we fail

    After standing there for a moment, it was Aurora who first thought of something. She pushed aside her earlier sarcasm and stepped forward to ask, "Have you come to volunteer for the mission to burn the enemy's supply depot as well?""You too?" Travis replied, raising a brow.Aurora nodded. "I've noticed your skills in battle. You all move swiftly and strike true. If you and your group wish to come, very well. But know this: all orders will come from me and General Warren."Aurora had taken note of how they fought with grace and courage on the battlefield. Though they had fought in two fierce battles at the front lines, not one of them bore a wound. Had their skills been anything less, they would have died long ago.She also knew that Carissa was Dominic's granddaughter. If Carissa joined the mission, the Grand General would surely send more troops with them. That would halve the danger and increase their chances of success. No matter how she looked at it, this was an excellent chan

    Carissa and the others were sent to wait outside while the generals held a private meeting, weighing their options and maybe coming up with other plans.Bun squatted in the corridor and glanced up at Travis. "You're an official now. Tell me, what chance of success do we really have if we go?"Travis looked at Carissa. "What do you think?""It will be difficult, no doubt. But this plan stands a better chance than sending a whole troop, and it carries less risk. Even if we fail, at least we can retreat safely," Carissa answered.Cynthia nodded in agreement. "That's right. Running away is our specialty."Violet shot her a sharp look. "Running away is our specialty? You mean our Lightfoot Skill. We're the best at that."Cynthia grinned. "That's what I said! If not us, then who else? This mission's made for us."Just then, a guard approached and reported that Barrett and Aurora were requesting an audience. Carissa straightened instantly, her eyes wary. They couldn't be allowed to rep

    The drums of war thundered as the battle raged fiercely. The Westhaven soldiers were even more desperate than they had been the day before. They charged forward recklessly, as if their lives depended on it.Leroy didn't join the fight himself but stayed behind to command the troops. Carissa wanted to capture the leader to end the war, but it was impossible with him hiding away.With their forces so uneven, only Dominic leading the charge at the front could inspire the troops' courage. Carissa worried greatly for him, as she was afraid he might be struck by an arrow. Even if it risked revealing her identity, she pressed through the crowd to stay close by his side.The sons of the Sullivan family guarded Dominic as well, their spirits lifted by his presence. Together, they charged into battle. Meanwhile, Carissa focused entirely on her foes, one after another falling to her spear.Dominic noticed her but didn't recognize her at first. When an arrow suddenly flew toward him, she leapt

    Carissa hadn't expected Barrett to recognize her at a glance. Still, it didn't trouble her much. As long as her grandfather and uncles were not here, her identity was safe.She took Violet and the others to a different area, hastening the task of tending to the fallen soldiers' bodies.By midnight, seven large pits were filled. Once they were covered, the soldiers gathered silently to pay their respects. Some wept quietly, while others bore heavy sorrow in their hearts, and some were filled with fierce anger.Otis ordered everyone to rest, while he stayed behind to count the troops and record the fallen in the official death register. The men left one after another, speaking very little.Carissa walked ahead of Barrett and Aurora, but could hear their low conversation behind her."That's the lady you asked to marry? Are you sure? Why would a lady of such noble birth be on the battlefield?""No mistake. That's her."Aurora sneered. "And why are you looking so gloomy? She refused

    The battle raged on all day, leaving the soldiers drenched in blood and sweat. As the sky darkened, the Westhaven army finally withdrew from the inner city. However, the city's walls and gates had been badly damaged. They no longer stood strong enough to keep the enemy out.Though they had retreated for the night, the Westhaven soldiers would surely return at dawn. It was only the cover of darkness that forced their retreat. As they left, they didn't take the bodies of their fallen soldiers. Instead, they poured oil over the corpses and set them aflame.It wasn't just the dead Westhaven soldiers that burned in the fire, some fallen Victory Pass soldiers were caught in the blaze too. Dominic hurried to save as many as he could, unwilling to let his comrades turn to ash alongside the enemy.But the flames spread quickly, fed by the oil, so he only managed to rescue a few bodies. Most were burnt beyond recognition, their faces and features lost to the fire. It was impossible to tell wh
