Aurora was beyond flustered. Facing her cousin's questioning, she felt guilty. Despite that, she still tried to defend herself, "I thought the person standing next to me was a Westhaven soldier. I didn't realize it was John."

"Hypocrite! How could an enemy soldier be standing next to you? If you're going to make excuses, at least make them logical!" Zeke retorted angrily.

Aurora, embarrassed and angry, snapped, "Enough! Now, we're all prisoners of the enemy! We've slaughtered civilians in Fawnrun. They won't let us off easily. Instead of blaming me, think about how to escape!"

Knowing people outside could hear, Aurora said loudly, "I only told you to kill a few people to force him out! I never told you to kill them all!"

Upon hearing this, the other captured soldiers erupted in anger.

"You ordered us to slaughter everyone and cut off their ears! You killed civilians, but claimed they were enemies to gain more contribution!"
