NovelEnglishChapter 1061 +25 BONUS Yuna continued to massage Lisandra's scalp, and asked softly, "Your Highness, General Stellwyn has agreed to retreat his troops. How do you plan to handle Penny?" "Are you trying to plead for her?" Yuna hesitated, then said, "She tried to harm you, Your Highness, which is an unforgivable crime. But there are so few women in the court, and Penny at least had the potential for promotion. People like us probably won't get another chance to rise. Is there any way you could give her another opportunity?" Lisandra's gaze was as cold as ice. "She has no chance left." "She only wanted to avenge Prince Arthur-" "Yuna Rutherford!” Lisandra pushed her hand away and warned coldly, "If you truly think her position is so hard to cby, then you shouldn't be pleading for her. Do you remember how hard we've fought to get here? One misstep could ruin everything. Even the smallest mistake would be enough for others to tear us down, especially for her-she should have been more careful than anyone! "She should have thought twice before acting. The road for female officials is tough. They cannot afford to be careless, or they'll be disrespected. But she lost sight of the bigger picture, focusing only on revenge and putting Westhaven in jeopardy. She risked the lives of the people and the soldiers for what? A petty grudge? If Arthur knew of this, he would only be disappointed." "She had no strategy, only hatred, and she placed revenge above all else. She was willing to harmto provoke a war between the two kingdoms, thinking that a war would settle her grievances. Where would Westhaven's supplies cfrom in a war? Is she truly suggesting that we recruit peasants to fight, as the king had said in anger? One cannot let their emotions rule their actions and expect to accomplish anything great!" Yuna thought of the current state of Westhaven Could they withstand a full-scale war? She immediately knelt. "It was my failure to think this through." Lisandra sighed. "Starhaven won't be the one to start the war, Westhaven already has internal struggles. We cannot afford to add foreign conflict to the mix. Let the people have a few years of peace. How many of them can barely feed themselves right now? Strategy is important, but the priority is to stabilize our land." "Yes, you're right, Your Highness," Yuna replied, though she understood deep down. She had only made the request out of a sense of camaraderie as a fellow female official.
Lisandra closed her eyes, too tired to keep them open. Yet, her mind remained exceptionally sharp. Her scalp felt as though a tight iron band had been placed around her +25 BONUS Chapter 1061 head, adding to the discomfort.
"Your Highness, will you go tomorrow?" "I won't go. I don't want to see her again.” Lisandra raised her hand, signaling for Yuna to leave. She needed to rest.

Aurora was locked in the dungeon of Warhawk Keep. The place was damp and dark, with no sunlight reaching in. On days when no one came, it was so pitch black she couldn't see her hand in front of her face-even in the daytime.
Throughout the day, she only saw light twice, when the guards brought her food.
Even though the food was often spoiled, she ate it all. She needed to keep her strength up while waiting for Barrett to come.
She never allowed herself to doubt whether he would actually come. In her stubborn heart, she believed he would.
It was the only thing that kept her going. Without that belief, she would have already broken down.
The heavy, rusted iron door creaked open again, and light poured in.
Aurora's heart sank. Why was someone coming now? They only ctwice a day at mealtimes. Was this a sign that they meant to kill her?

Since arriving in Fawnrun City, her city, her tendons had been ext. Every day she could do nothing but crawl like a beaten dog in the dark, damp dungeon. Aurora lifted her head just in tto see a woman carrying a lantern approach slowly. There was only one of them. She exhaled slowly, relieved.
Yuna stood in front of the iron bars, Auror a looking down at Aurora. She held the lamp forward, its light casting a harsh glow on Aurora's bloodstained face, making her look even more wretched and ugly.
