GoodNovelHer Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 116 Chapter 116 Aurora was beyond flustered. Facing her cousin's questioning, she felt guilty. Despite that, she still tried to defend herself, "I thought the person standing next towas a Westhaven soldier. I didn't realize it was John." "Hypocrite! How could an enemy soldier be standing next to you? If you're going to make excuses, at least make them logical!" Zeke retorted angrily.
Aurora, embarrassed and angry, snapped, "Enough! Now, we're all prisoners of the enemy! We've slaughtered civilians in Fawnrun. They won't let us off easily. Instead of blaming me, think about how to escape!" "The massacre of those civilians was your order! You said the young general was hiding among the civilians, and that ssoldiers were disguised as commoners. You're the one who ordered us to kill them without any mercy!" Zeke snarled.

Were those civilians we killed innocent? Were they good people? They were all from Westhayen! "For decades, they've fought us along the border, wasting countless military resources and supplies. I'm the one who got the peace treaty signed! The border conflict ended because of me! The death of a few civilians is a small price for true peace between our kingdoms! They died for a worthy cause!" Her face had grown swollen from being slapped, and her hysteria made her features even more distorted. Her hair was messy, and she looked like a madwoman. For a moment, no one dared to refute her, not even Zeke, who suppressed his anger Zeke had originally been willing to follow his cousin, because she treated her soldiers well.

The wooden hut was full of cracks, letting in the bitterly cold wind that chilled them to the bone All nineteen of them shivered constantly, their teeth chattering uncontrollably. Aurora was struggling the most, waves of dizziness washing over her.
She tried to steady herself, her mind filled with worry about how they might torture her.
However, she was also somewhat hopeful. Westhaven governed with kindness and compassion, so they likely wouldn't mistreat prisoners of war, right? If they were going to mistreat them, they would have done so already instead of leaving them here D Comments
