Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

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."

As Aurbra 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.

Aurora was even hoping that Carissa would come forward to argue. However, Carissa simply stood silently, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked pitiful and didn't offer a word in her own defense.

To Aurora, it was clear that Carissa was in the wrong here. The former vowed that she would one day expose the latter's true nature. She would reveal Carissa's scheming nature to the world.

When that time came, the fact that her achievements had been gained through the influence of her father's old allies would earn her disdain from true warriors!
