Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 535
Chapter 535
On the fourth day since the assassins appeared in Valor Estate, Carissa was summoned to the palace. Before
this, no one from the Royal Citadel had cto question her, nor had the garrison unit appeared.
Carissa wasn't surprised. After all, the Royal Citadel and the garrison unit would have used the information they
got from the Warren family to conduct their investigation. They needed to gather a coherent account before
reporting to the king. Only then would the king summon her to the palace for questioning.
As Carissa made her way to the palace, Barrett finally forced himself out of bed and headed straight for Aurora’s
room.
He had been bedridden for several days, recovering from his injuries. He had also been stewing with anger for
days. Although his wounds were superficial, he had received over a dozen sword wounds and had no choice but
to remain in bed to recover. If he didn’t, he risked permanent damage. If that happened, he would lose all his
value and might even be unable to serve as a member of the Capital Guard.
Aurora had also been confined to bed for a few days. As her injuries were less severe, she could have gotten up

the residence regarded her with hostility-even the servants looked at her with fear and disgust.
She still received three meals a day and the necessary medication she needed. No one dared stop them. She
and Barrett were married by the king's edict, and the Warren family didn’t dare ask him to divorce her.
After what happened, Aurora realized that Barrett had completely lost any affection for her. All remnants of their
past feelings were gone.
So, when he stormed in angrily, she was already mentally prepared.
Barrett yanked her off the bed, his face dark with gloom and fury. He roared, “Why did you useto shield
yourself from their attacks? Did you wantto die in the face of danger? Is this your idea of considering our
future?”
Aurora looked at him coldly. “I did it because the assassins didn’t intend to kill you. Did
you think I really wanted you to die for me? The assassins were targetingthat night, but they showed mercy
towards you. Have you wondered why?”
Barrett threw her roughly back onto the bed, his anger boiling over. “Don’t try to

cruel!”
“I'm cruel? You're an idiot!” Aurora propped herself up on the bed, her face twisted with anger as she glared at
her husband. “Have you ever wondered why the assassins were only afterand didn’t try to kill you?

thing: she had been there all along.”
“What are you trying to say now?” Barrett asked as stood in front of the bed, looking at the woman who had
utterly disappointed him.
“I'm saying you're brainless! Carissa clearly sent those assassins! She wanted to kill me! That's why the

“That's bullshit!”
Enraged, Barrett raised his hand as if to slap her, but his hand froze in mid-air for a moment before he pulled it
back.
He said coldly, “If it were Carissa, why didn’t she just kill those assassins outright? Why leave them alive for my
uncle to take back to the Royal Citadel? It was you who killed those assassins because you feared they might be
from Westhaven. You were afraid that the authorities would find out about what happened in Fawnrun City!
“Aurora, don't try to act so righteous. You're clearly guilty. You know the crimes you committed in Fawnrun City
were heinous. Your indiscriminate killing makes you no
better than a beast.”
Aurora laughed harshly. After her laughter subsided, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
“Foolish-you're truly foolish, Barrett. Carissa’s schworked. Yes, | am guilty. | was worried that those
assassins were from Westhaven. But the moment | saw their
masks lifted, | knew it was all a trap set by Carissa.
“She has always hated your whole family. But instead of getting revenge, she wanted all of you to be grateful to
her. Look at you now-you’ve fallen for it. You even think she has feelings for you. Oh, Barrett, how could you be
so stupid?”
