Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 119

Just when Aurora thought they would continue to torment her, she was dragged back into the wooden hut along with everyone else.

A charcoal fire had been lit inside the wooden hut, providing a bit of warmth amidst the drafts. They all crawled towards the fire, seeking to fend off the cold and the pain.

Aurora's pants had been torn off, and the wound on her thigh prevented her from closing her legs. With the warmth in the room, the blood continued to flow slowly and pooled beneath her. Everyone was in such agony that no one paid attention to her. The hut was filled with nothing but the sound of pained groans.

Someone entered, and forced a bowl of medicine down her throat. The mixture of the medicine and the lingering stench of urine nearly made her vomit again.

She didn't vomit, fearing they would urinate on her again. She felt that there was no chance of survival, since she was in Liam's hands. If they gave her poison, it would at least grant her a quick death. She would accept that fate.

After Aurora drank the medicine, Edmund entered and began beating her. He kicked and punched her, leaving her face and body covered in bruises and cuts. He didn't use a knife, except on her face. She didn't know what words they had carved into her face. But since she was going to die anyway,

she didn't care.

Lying on the ground, any movement sent waves of terrible pain through her body. She felt as though her internal organs were shifting. She thought about how Barrett wouldn't come to save her, and that she was going to die here.

To think that the first female general of Starhaven would die here like this-it was just too frustrating! Thinking about how Carissa would soon bask in glory, Aurora felt a deep sense of dissatisfaction. Didn't Carissa just have a better birth and a more privileged life? Well, Aurora would have achieved great deeds long ago if she had such a background!
