Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 156

Though a hundred gold coins were a substantial amount, their journey to the battlefield wasn't driven by the prospect of rewards.

Knowing that Barrett had been on the verge of promotion but was demoted due to taking the fall for Aurora, Rebecca was particularly upset. Adding to her frustration was the fact that Aurora's failed command during the siege had resulted in both reward and punishment, leaving Barrett with only a hundred gold coins.

Barrett and Aurora risked their lives on the battlefield, but they ended up in this state.

Rebecca's feelings towards Aurora had transformed from initial admiration to intense disgust. Seeing that Aurora wasn't even at her bedside when she regained consciousness only fueled her anger.
