Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

On the fourth day since the assassins appeared in Valor Estate, Carissa was summoned to the palace. Before this, no one from the Royal Citadel had come to question her, nor had the garrison unit appeared.

Carissa wasn't surprised. After all, the Royal Citadel and the garrison unit would have used the information they got from the Warren family to conduct their investigation. They needed to gather a coherent account before reporting to the king. Only then would the king

summon her to the palace for questioning.

As Carissa made her way to the palace, Barrett finally forced himself out of bed and headed straight for Aurora's room.

He had been bedridden for several days, recovering from his injuries. He had also been stewing with anger for days. Although his wounds were superficial, he had received over a dozen sword wounds and had no choice but to remain in bed to recover. If he didn't, he risked permanent damage. If that happened, he would lose all his value and might even be unable to serve as a member of the Capital Guard.

Aurora had also been confined to bed for a few days. As her injuries were less severe, she could have gotten up earlier, but she didn't want to move. Everyone in the residence regarded her with hostility-even the servants looked at her with fear and disgust. She still received three meals a day and the necessary medication she needed. No one dared stop them. She and Barrett were married by the king's edict, and the Warren family didn't dare ask him to divorce her.

After what happened, Aurora realized that Barrett had completely lost any affection for her. All remnants of their past feelings were gone.
