Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 429
Chapter 429
Barrett advanced and grabbed Aurora’s wrist. “Let's go. We're going to Jadehill Estate.”
Aurora pulled her hand away forcefully. “I'm not going!”
Barrett's expression darkened as he stood in the courtyard. “If you don’t cwillingly, I'll drag you there! You
can either walk, or Ill tie you up and make you carry thorn branches on your back.”
Carrying thorn branches on one’s back was a traditional act of penance, where an individual who had committed
a serious offense would bear thorny branches as a symbolic gesture of remorse and submission. The practice
was a way to visibly demonstrate their sincere repentance and willingness to atone for their wrongs.
“You wouldn't dare!” Aurora’s anger flared, her voice trembling with indignation. “All | did was say a few words-
what crhave | committed that’s so unforgivable | need to beg for forgiveness with thorn branches on my
back?”
Barrett gritted his teeth in frustration. “You know what you've done! Your crimes are so those thom branches
would be a mercy! You deserve to be executed!”
He glanced at the maids nearby and roared, “Get out!”

Terrified, the maids scrambled to leave
Aurora stared at him with reddened eyes. “You don’t treatwith even a fraction of the kindness you once did!
You clearly loathe me. If that’s the case, why did you marry me?”
Barrett was on the brink of breaking down. He shouted at Aurora in frustration, “I was a fool! | was blind!!
mistook you for someone honorable and courageous, but you're not!”
Aurora covered her ears. “Shut up! Clearly, you misjudged. You thought Carissa would accept me, which is why
you married me. But when Carissa refused to accept that you were marrying another wife, you revealed your
true colors. Your affection forwas nothing but a passing fancy! You're heartless and unfaithful! Barrett, | was
wrong about you.”
Barrett's face turned ashen, as if her words had struck the very core of his being.
Standing upright, he said coldly, “I won't dwell on the past with you, but you must cwithto Jadehill
Estate today. And as for the person you broke the limbs of yesterday, you need to compensate him. If not, you'll
be thrown into prison.”
“Stop talking nonsense! | didn’t hurt anyone yesterday As Aurora spoke, she suddenly recalled what had
happened on the previous day and asked, “Did Viola claim I did it?”
Barrett's anger flared. “Don’t play dumb! The person who pelted the estate with dung yesterday-you were the
one who caught him and broke his limbs. He's already reported the incident to the Royal Citadel. You'll be visited
by their officials soon enough.
This
morning, the inspectors presented a case against me, accusingof poor household management and allowing
my servants to harm civilians. Besides you, who else in the household is so violent?”
Aurora’s face turned pale with anger. “It wasn’t me! | didn’t even step out of the courtyard yesterday! If you
don’t believe me, go ask the steward or anyone who was with me.”

Her agitation suddenly ceased as she fixed him with a cold stare. “Why don’t you ask Viola? Maybe it was her
who had people do it.”
Barrett raised a hand dismissively. “Impossible! Viola is gentle and virtuous. She wouldn't do something so
brutal.”

Aurora’s heart sank with cold despair. “So, eyes, only | am capable of such cruelty, while Viola is a saint. Barrett,
oh, Barrett, you're absolutely right-you’re truly blind.”
Barrett refused to believe that Viola could have given such orders. He was adamant that it must have been
Aurora.
“This isn’t the first tyou've done something like this. We both know what you're capable of. You dare to act
cruelly, but can’t face the consequences. You have no one to blbut yourself for being despised.
Aurora, seething with rage, shouted, “Bring Viola to Forsaken Hall and have her recount everything that
happened yesterday!”
A trembling maid entered, her lips quivering as she said, “G-General Warren, if you're referring to the person
throwing dung at the estate yesterday, it was indeed... indeed Madam Viola who ordered his arm to be broken.”
Another maid stepped forward and added, “She's right, General Warren. It was Madam Viola. But she only
instructed that his arm be broken, not his leg. It was his own foul mouth that led to...”
Barrett took a deep breath, his eyes filled with disbelief
Viola was behind this?
Aurora watched his reaction, feeling no satisfaction but instead an increased sense of grievance. Her expression
was filled with bitter sarcasm as she said, “That's the so-called dignified and virtuous wife you speak of
