Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 952

Chapter 952

The night before the negotiations turned into utter chaos.

While the Westhaven envoys at Concord Lodge worked through a sleepless night, the officials at the Supreme Court convened for an emergency session.

Over at the Ministry of Justice, Aurora had been relentlessly pleading to see Barrett one last time since her confession. She even dropped to her knees, crying and begging for mercy.

Ever since Aurora was taken into custody, she had maintained a strong front. Now, all of that seemed to have crumbled. Patrick knew that after the negotiations, she would likely be handed over to Westhaven’s envoys for punishment. A quick death would be a mercy, but she would most probably receive a painful and humiliating end.

Even death row prisoners were allowed a final meeting with their loved ones, so Patrick allowed Aurora and Barrett to meet tonight, but only within the confines of the prison cell.

Barrett was escorted to the cell under heavy guard. The officials opened the cell door, then stationed themselves outside, giving the two some semblance of privacy.

Of course, Barrett was thoroughly searched before entering. Any sharp objects that could allow Aurora to harm herself were strictly prohibited. If she ended up dead before being handed over to the Westhaven envoys, it would be impossible to explain.

Aurora was being held in solitary confinement in the women’s prison. Her role in the case was too critical to risk anything happening to her, so Patrick had stationed heavy guards around her cell.

Aurora’s gaunt, haggard faces. The confident, triumphant air they had after the triumph at Victory Pass was now nowhere to be found. All that remained was exhaustion, desperation, and a palpable sense of defeat. “I changed my testimony for you,” Aurora said, staring at the man in front of
