Her Graceful War Song Chapter 85
Barrett pulled on Aurora's hand as he addressed Rafael, "Marshal, please calm down. General Yates was just momentarily impulsive. She didn't mean to challenge your authority.""If you cannot accept military orders, leave the Southern Frontier immediately. I need generals who are absolutely obedient," Rafael replied coldly.Though Aurora was still unwilling to accept it, she dared not speak further and resigned herself to merely giving Carissa a cold glare.As a noble lady from a prestigious family, Carissa was naturally held in high regard. Her inherent wealth and status were far beyond that of a humble general's daughter. Yet, Aurora had earned her position through sheer effort and sacrifice, unlike Carissa, who seemed to have her achievements handed to her.As Aurora reluctantly followed Barrett, she said, "My military rank is low and my background is humble, so I have no right to argue. I will, of course, obey your orders, Marshal."Her statement was clearly a jab at Carissa.

No wonder Carissa knew that soldiers from Westhaven had disguised themselves as Sandorian soldiers and gone to the Southern Frontier battlefield. That was also why she had traveled alone for a thousand miles to bring Rafael the news."Take your time to calm down, then talk to me," Rafael said as he sat down beside her, his tall figure acting like a protective barrier shielding her from the world."What else do you want to know, Marshal?" asked Carissa, who had calmed down considerably.Rafael's eyes were like a dark sea churning beneath the surface. "Everything. Why you suddenly got married, what happened after you got married, and everything surrounding the Westhaven spies massacring your entire household."Carissa didn't know why he wanted to know about her marriage, but she answered truthfully, trying to keep her emotions steady and her recounting as straightforward as possible."When I returned from the Pathfinders Guild, I learned of my father and brothers' sacrifice. I told

Carissa continued, "That wasn't the worst of it. The worst came later."She recounted how the Warren family tried to seize her dowry—even going so far as to accuse her of being disrespectful and jealous, and used that as grounds for divorce."That was the real outrage. But I didn't expect the king to posthumously grant my father the title of duke and allow me to divorce Barrett. Because of that, I could take all my dowry with me."Rafael's eyes burned with anger. "They dared to treat you like that and wrong you?""I don't feel wronged," Carissa said, placing her hands on her knees and turning to look at Rafael. The beauty mark beneath her eye stood out vividly."If I had feelings for him, it would have been different, but I didn't. Leaving the Warren family was a relief for me. Their schemes failed, and you saw how angry Aurora was at me, Marshal. She was upset that I didn't care about the man she coveted."Aurora wanted to humiliate her, but Carissa had left the Warren family wi

The Mystic Army comprised thirty thousand strong troops, all personally trained by Rafael to protect the city. They were elite soldiers who were prepared to defend against any rebellion or attack on the capital. The Mystic Army rarely went to battlefields unless absolutely necessary.Now, reclaiming the Southern Frontier had become a necessity.Mobilizing troops from Riverhold Garrison could provoke the other enemy kingdom, Vesperia, into aggression. So, the troops from Riverhold Garrison couldn't be moved, which was why the Mystic Army had been dispatched.Though the Mystic Army seldom saw battle, it didn't mean they hadn't been on a battlefield. On the contrary, all thirty thousand members were selected from war-hardened soldiers and rigorously trained further.Ten thousand of them were Obsidian Guards. They were responsible for the king's safety and maintaining order in the capital.Another ten thousand handled criminal arrests. They were able to detain suspects, including roya

Barrett chased after her. "You've never been willing to tell me. Back in Fawnrun City, when I was in charge of burning the supply depot, how did you manage to get Westhaven's marshal, Liam, to sign the peace treaty?"Aurora's expression was a mix of irritation and wariness. "Didn't I already tell you? I went around Fawnrun City loudly proclaiming that the Hell Monarch had already achieved victory in the Southern Frontier and was about to head to Victory Pass. Coupled with the supply depot being burned, they panicked and chose to surrender."Indeed, Aurora had given the same explanation many times before.Barrett hadn't thought anything was wrong with it at first—until recently, when Aurora summoned over a hundred soldiers to their wedding.Owen had reprimanded her for it, pointing out that she hadn't asked for permission in advance but had instead arbitrarily got over a hundred soldiers to leave their posts. But Aurora had boldly lied to Barrett's face without so much as blinking,
Her Graceful War Song Chapter 90
Within three days, all one hundred and twenty thousand reinforcement troops were all angrily discussing one thing: Carissa had been granted the title of fifth-rank Valor General without any notable achievements, solely relying on the prestige of her father and brothers.Under Aurora's encouragement, the soldiers were incited to keep complaining to each other."If she wanted to ride on the military achievements of her father and brothers, she should stay in the capital and enjoy her life of luxury. Why does she need to come to the battlefield and steal our military merits?""We risk our lives to protect the country, all for the sake of honor and achievements. She did nothing and still got promoted to Valor General. How unfair is that?""It's well known that the marshal is strict in his military discipline. He rewards and punishes without any bias. Who knew that even he could show favoritism, giving such a big promotion to Lady Sinclair for nothing? What's the point of us fighting an

Carissa frowned upon hearing those words. She didn't care about rumors, but deliberately creating division and unfairness within the army, as well as disrupting morale before a decisive battle, was a grave mistake.Aurora had been on battlefields and should have known this. She was likely trying to use public opinion to pressure Rafael into sidelining Carissa to stabilize the army's morale."It's only spreading among the reinforcements, right?" Carissa asked.Violet was still seething with anger, her face growing increasingly red. She replied, "Yes, the reinforcements are camped separately from the Hell Monarch Army—the soldiers who were on the Southern Frontier since the start with the marshal. So, they don't know about the rumors. If they did, some of them would surely confront the reinforcement troops."Carissa's frown deepened. After the numerous battles they fought together, many soldiers now respected her. If they found out she was being slandered like this, it wouldn't just

Carissa planted the Rose Spear firmly into the ground and tied up her hair. The biting northern wind whipped her garments around, making a fierce sound.She lifted her chin slightly, her gaze as cold as the snow. "It's fine as long as I win?""That's right!" Michael called out loudly. "If you defeat me, I swear to follow you to the death and never go back on my word.""Good luck, Lieutenant Brown!""Defeat her! She's using the military achievements of her father and brothers to rise above us!""How can she, a mere woman, command the Mystic Army with false merits? Lieutenant Brown, we're all unhappy with this arrangement. Show her who's better!"Michael's voice was cold as he said, "General Sinclair, did you hear that?"Carissa glanced at the roaring Mystic Army before gripping the Rose Spear once more. "Alright, let's get started!"Michael's eyes were filled with disdain. "Don't accuse me of bullying a woman, General Sinclair. I'll let you make the first move!""Thank you!" Ca
