Chapter 166

Author: Summer's Blaze
Frederick’s words, laced with flattery, worked their charm on the crowd. Everyone loved to hear sweet talk—Frederick’s compliments ignited the people’s sense of justice, leading them to vocally denounce those from the Warren family.

It seemed moral coercion wouldn't work on Carissa. She hadn’t even appeared to address the matter, and Rebecca realized her efforts were futile. With that, she had no choice but to leave in disgrace.

Rebecca had initially planned to have Carissa return to the Warren family, but Barrett adamantly refused. Given the overwhelming gossip about Aurora, Rebecca then thought to create a commotion to redirect the public’s ire. She hoped that by stirring up trouble, the people would shift their criticism away from the Warren family, thus giving them a break from the public's scorn.

She had hoped her antics would at least drag Carissa into a mess of accusations. Rebecca figured that if they confronted or pushed people around, the Duke of Northwatch's family wouldn

while Aurora is guilty of many things, people in the capital are unaware of her crimes. they are shunning her because she was captured and they think she was raped. anyone who judges or punishes someone for being a victim of sexual assault is in the wrong. she should be shunned, but not for this.

    As Violet and her companions were still guests at the estate, Melanie chose not to embarrass her daughter too much. She allowed Carissa to accompany her friends and show them the sights and wonders of the capital.As the New Year approached, the streets were bustling with people stocking up for the celebrations. Suddenly, a galloping horse charged through the city gates, racing straight toward the palace.The rider shouted at the top of his lungs, "Great news! The Hell Monarch has reclaimed the Southern Frontier! The Southern Frontier is ours again!"Standing in the doorway of a silk shop, holding two bolts of fine satin in her arms, Carissa heard the cry with her own ears.She remembered how Rafael had swept through the Southern Frontier like wildfire after heading to the battlefield, reclaiming more than a dozen cities in quick succession. It wasn't until he reached Ilyrian City and Simonton City that the fighting had dragged on. And when Westhaven forces lent their aid to Sandor

    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
