Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Barrett's eyes were cold as he said softly, "I truly wish you could tell me that you didn't do those things in Fawnrun City."

Aurora smirked coldly. "Is it because of what happened in Fawnrun City that you despise me? No, you despise me because I was captured on the mountain outside Simonton City, because I was disfigured. You think I'm no longer pure, but I can assure you, I am." Barrett shook his head. "No, it's not the events on the mountain outside Simonton City that trouble me. I only feel pity for you in that regard. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken a beating on your behalf. What I can't accept are the things you did in Fawnrun City." "Stop deceiving yourself, alright?" Aurora continued to smirk. "Do you really think that what I did in Fawnrun City was wrong?"

"Don't you think you were in the wrong?" Barrett took a deep breath. "Even now, you still don't see your mistakes?" Aurora didn't wear a veil, and the light revealed the full extent of her emotions. Her eyes burned with fiery ambition.

"Barrett, you're not the only one who wants to make a name for yourself. I do too. I am the first female general of this era. No matter what great feats Carissa achieved at the Southern Frontier, she can't replace me! I worked hard for my achievements in Fawnrun City. If I hadn't done those things, how could I have solidified my status?"

She removed the hairpin from her hair, lifting the lamp wick slightly to cast a harsher light on her disfigured half-face.

"Do you think those great generals never committed cruel acts? To survive on the battlefield, no one is soft-hearted. General Sinclair became the Marquis of Northwatch at a young age. Do you really believe he relied solely on his bravery in battle? No, the darkness hidden behind those achievements is something you and I will never fully understand. Only someone as foolish as you would think of sacrificing your life for military achievements! Even if you fought to the death, you would never become someone like General Prince." Barrett shook his head. "I don't believe that."

Aurora placed the hairpin back into
