NovelEnglishHer Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 142
Chapter 142
Aurora returned to the capital in a state of dejection.
Barrett kept his distance from her, even though he was injured and could have used her support. He was
adamant about avoiding any physical contact with her. Even the others who had been captured with her glared
at her with hatred.
They knew why they had been castrated-it was because in Fawnrun City, Aurora had tortured that young general
and ordered his castration, humiliating him.
Now, the eighteen soldiers who were captured had been treated the sway by the Westhaven soldiers, and
they couldn't voice their suffering or express their grievances. Their hatred for Aurora ran deep.
Throughout the journey, they avoided her as much as possible. They didn’t want to speak to her, and even when
they saw her, they kept
their distance.
Aurora remembered her earlier enthusiasm, believing she would achieve great things in this war. Instead, she
had returned with half her face disfigured and despised by everyone. She could barely tolerate these things, but
what she found most unbearable was seeing how the soldiers idolized Carissa, how the generals protected her,
and how even Rafael praised her.
Even after returning to the capital, Carissa was able to ride in the king's carriage to receive the citizens’
congratulations, and she was also able to attend the victory feast. Meanwhile, Aurora had to slink. back to her
own residence in disgrace.
Her mood was at rock bottom.

door behind her. She

Her appearance had never held a candle to Carissa’s, and now, with half her face disfigured and the remaining
skin dark and rough, she looked like a village woman. Without her former confidence, brora felt as though she
was no different from a peasant women. #
As her thoughts swirled aimlessly, she reminded herself that she was married and that Barrett cared for her,
even if he was struggling to cto terms with her appearance. He might have thought she had been defiled,
but she was innocent.
Her burns had been inflicted by Barrett himself, proving that he did not despise her looks. After all, if he valued
appearances, he would haye seen that Carissa was far more beautiful and would have had no reason to marry
Aurora.
Their feelings for each other were genuine. They deeply loved one another, having declared their intentions and
surrendering
everything to each other at Victory Pass.
Their bond was unbreakable. Once they got through this trial, they would live happier lives than Carissa. As long
as Carissa’s life was worse than hers, Aurora could find sbalance within herself.
True, Carissa was now a highly sought-after general, with the added prestige of her family. But in the end, she
was still second-hand goods. Noble families and people of high moral character wouldn’t marry her; only those
desperate for a title would ccourting.
But given Carissa’s arrogance, she wouldn't like any of those suitors either. It seemed she was destined for a life
of solitude.
Thinking this, Aurora felt a bit more at ease.
A knock sounded at the door. “Madam Aurora, Madam Rebecca requests your presence.”
Aurora frowned, her mood souring at the thought of the ailing old
woman. She hastily covered her face with a piece of brocade fabric and went to Rebecca's residence. Inside, her
father in law, Jonathan, was also present. She gave a respectful curtsy.
Jonathan nodded slightly. “It’s good that you've returned safely.”
Jonathan was known for his indecision and lack of ambition, which had kept him from securing a prominent
official position.
