NovelEnglishChapter 114 Aurora's face went deathly pale.
A taste of her own medicine? She knew very well what she had done to the young general she had captured at Victory Pass.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt the time, the young general had led over a hundred men and fought fiercely. After killing a few of her soldiers, he fled. To capture him, she had ordered the slaughter of several villages in Fawnrun City, suspecting he was hiding among the common people.
She burned with the need to find him to avenge her fallen comrades and establish her own reputation. Moreover, capturing a young general was worth more than killing ten soldiers.
At the time, her intention was straightforward. But after capturing the young general, he had been extremely arrogant, accusing her of violating the treaty between their nations and massacring civilians. His curses were particularly vile, condemning them to be childless and bereft of descendants.
Because of the severity of his curses, she had decided to punish him. As for his curses about being childless, she made sure to render him impotent. Her men had even urinated on him and forced him to eat excrement so he would stop uttering any more vile words.
Yet, the young general had an iron will. Despite their efforts, he continued to spew curses, infuriating her further. So, she ordered her men to stab him a few times. The soldiers had been a bit rough, but it was the young general's own fault.
With such venomous curses coming from his mouth, how could anyone resist torturing him further? What she hadn't anticipated was that Liam would lead thousands of soldiers straight to Fawnrun City to surround her. Seeing the tortured young general, Liam demanded a ceasefire, proposing negotiations and setting a boundary line. Westhaveh soldiers were to step no further into Starhaven territory, and all he asked of her was to release the captive.

The negotiations and boundary setting between the two nations were usually determined by the top generals or presented to the kings. Yet, they were voluntarily conceding to Starhaven's boundary and not pursuing the matter of the massacred civilians. Moreover, they promised never to mention it to Salvador or Dominic.
With the signed treaty in hand, Aurora could return to claim her reward. The Westhaven forces only asked for the release of the humiliated young genera She felt like she was being handed a tremendous military achievement. She hadn't expected the Westhaven forces to be so easily manipulated! At that time, she thought this was a golden opportunity. However, once the Westhaven troops arrived at the Southern Frontier battlefield, she began to sense that the young general's identity was more - complicated than she had anticipated.
Liam was a man of his word. Following the treaty, Westhaven soldiers didn't set foot on Starhaven territory again. Yet, they chose the Southern Frontier battlefield to seek revenge because as long as +15 BONUS Sandoria had not completely withdrawn from the Southern Frontier, its sovereignty did not belong to Starhaven.
With the cold blade pressing against her neck, Aurora couldn't stop her body from trembling. She couldn't hear the sounds of the army. The fighting ning so far away, almost inaudible. She knew Barrett wouldn't reach her in time. He might also fall into the hands of Westhaven, as Liam wouldn't have mobilized such a large force just to capture her alone. Aurora dared not even breathe, but then she suddenly thought of something.
"You... You've caught me, but it won't help! It wasn'twho defeated you on the Southern Frontier battlefield! It was Rafael and Carissa! Do you know m Carissa? She's Hector Sinclair's vel daughter Hector had also defended Victory Pass before going to the Southern Frontier. Her arrival was what caused your defeat there. She has killed many of your soldiers. If you're looking for someone to blame, it should be her!" Hearing that, Edmund's eyes turned ice-cold. He waved the soldiers holding the blades at Aurora's neck away.
Just as Aurora thought they had taken her words to heart and allowed Trollef, herself a moment of relief, Edmund slapped her face with a resounding blow. His face was filled with fury. "You shouldn't have brought that up. Now that you did, even slicing you into a thousand pieces wouldn't quell the hatred in my heart!" Comments X
