NovelEnglishChapter 985
Lisandra had plans of her own for when she returned home, so she could not afford to back down on the border
issue. If she did, all that she had worked for would be in jeopardy, and the support of the people would slip from
her grasp.
This outcwas favorable for both kingdoms.
The day after the treaty was signed, the Westhaven envoys entered the palace to bid their farewells. Salvador
had intended to host a farewell banquet for them, but Lisandra's determination to return himmediately left
him with no choice but to agree to her wishes. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Justice had already placed Aurora in a
prison cart and sent her to Concord Lodge.
When she saw that there was no sign of Dominic, panic surged through her.
"Why is it just me? Where is Dominic? Doesn't he need to take responsibility too?" she shouted loudly.
Lonnie quickly gagged her mouth and passed her over to Leroy.
It was the first tthe Westhaven envoys had seen Aurora since entering the capital. The anger in their eyes
was so fierce it seemed like it could burn her to the ground.

Aurora struggled in the prison cart, trying to spot Barrett amidst the crowd, but there was no sign of him. Outside
the hall, a long procession stretched before her, with the Capital Guard sending the group off. Even Carissa and
Rafael were present, but Barrett was nowhere to be found.
She couldn't call out or struggle to free herself, nor could she even lift her head. The cart was uncomfortable to
sit in, and standing was impossible. It reminded her of when she had trapped Arthur in an iron cage and taunted
him with arrows.
Back then, she had felt a twisted sense of satisfaction. But now, fear gripped her because she knew this was just
the beginning.
Carissa had specifically brought Lulu along today. Standing a short distance away from the prison cart, the two of
them could clearly see the fear and panic reflected in Aurora's eyes.
Lulu wanted nothing more than to drag her back to Northwatch Estate and tear her apart, but she knew that
Aurora now belonged to Westhaven, and she could not take matters into her own hands for vengeance.
The tears in her eyes felt as though they were made of her own family's blood, burning her eyes and scorching
her heart.
"My lady, may | go up and slap her?" Lulu asked quietly. "I'm not strong, | won't hurt her. Could you plead with
Grand Princess Lisandra for me?"
Carissa knew that if she didn't allow her to slap Aurora, Lulu would never find peace with herself.
She nodded slightly. "I'll speak with Her Highness."
After talking to Carissa, Lisandra lifted the curtain and glanced at Lulu, sighing softly.
"Go ahead," she said.
The cold, impersonal words "slaughtering an entire family" and "massacre of villagers" had been written on the
treaty papers, but it was only the survivors who truly understood that those words represented wounds that
would never heal.
Carissa took Lulu's hand and led her forward. Panicking, Aurora looked at them as though the prison cart had
becher shield. She instinctively shrank back as the Ministry of Justice officials unlocked the cart. She was
chained, so even with the cart open, she couldn't escape.
Her eyes burning with fury, Lulu raised her hand and slapped Aurora hard across the face.
"You killed so many people. You're worse than an animal!"
She was quite strong. That slap sent Aurora's head snapping to the side, hitting the iron bars of the prison cart.
Aurora was gagged, so she could only breathe heavily through her nose, her eyes filled with fear and anger. Her
words were muffled as she tried to scream, as if trying to curse Lulu for daring to strike her.

Carissa watched as Aurora writhed like a caged beast. She didn't feel any satisfaction or the thrill of revenge-just
a deep sadness, knowing that killing that woman wouldn't bring her loved ones back.
Aurora scraped the iron chain
against the doth binding her mouth,
finally shifting it down to her chin. Then, she took a deep breath and roared Joudly, "Carissa Sinclair you're
biased and corrupt! Where is Dominic? He's the one behind it all... Mmph!"
Carissa calmly reached over and moved the cloth back into place, then had her tied up more tightly to prevent
her from shouting along the way.
Once Aurora was secured, Carissa didn't speak a single word to her. Not even a glance. She simply took Lulu's
hand, walked toward Rafael, and stood beside him.
Rafael adjusted her clothes with a gentle, almost imperceptible smile, his eyes filled with affection that he
couldn't hide.
Aurora's bloodshot eyes burned with jealousy as she watched them. Carissa had an official status and a husband
who loved her-everything Aurora desperately wanted but could never have. Why did Carissa deserve it all?
As the convoy began to move, Aurora still couldn't spot Barrett among the crowd. Her angry, frantic screams
turned into pitiful sobs, echoing like a wailing ghost in the wind.
