Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

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."

But Aurora had boldly lied to Barrett's face without so much as blinking, claiming she had asked for permission and that Owen had granted it.
