As Barrett began his new role, Aurora hoped to secure an official position for herself, even if it were just a minor role in the Capital Guard or as a small team leader in the Mystic Army. She knew her past mistakes would limit her to a lower ranking post, but given her significant contributions in the victory at Victory Pass, she thought finding a position wouldn''t be too difficult.


    All she wanted was to have a position that would allow her to hold her head high.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    However, Aurora''s expectations were overly simplistic. Even Carissa, who held only a nominal title, didn''t need to report to the Capital Guard Headquarters or participate in Mystic Army training unless specifically required. She had the option to go if needed, but she didn''t have to.


    Aurora waited several days, only to receive a document from the Ministry of Defense stripping her of her military rank and erasing all recognition of her achievements at Victory Pass.


    She was no longer a general or even a soldier. All her contributions were nullified, as if she had never been on the battlefield. She was required to return the general''s armor, the military insignia, and her weapons. She couldn''t even keep her military uniform.


    This shattered her emotional barrier.


    She considered herself superior because she was different from other women-after all, she had been on the battlefield. She was a soldier, a centurion, a general. She had endured many hardships, and had eventually married into the Warren family.


    She thought her journey was only the beginning and that she would soar to greater heights, pioneering a path for women so they could serve as


    officials in the future.


    Instead, marrying into the Warren family marked the end of everything she had hoped for.


    Aurora went mad, smashing things in the courtyard. She destroyed everything in sight, and the servants dared not approach. They sought out Amelia, who dismissed their concerns, saying she wouldn''t interfere with Aurora''s outburst in her own courtyard.


    As Reba was still ill, no one dared to tell her.


    Even those who knew wouldn''t approach Aurora. Serena took a nce and, with venom in her eyes, cursed Aurora. If it weren''t for this vile woman seducing Barrett, Carissa would still be her sister-inw and wouldn''t be marrying the Hell Monarch.


    This woman was nothing but a cmity!


    Eventually, Reba learned of the situation. Her gaze was nk for a long time, before she let out a bitterugh.


    "Oh? Not only is she no longer a general, but not even a soldier too? What exactly did our family gain from her? We spent so much money to have her marry into our family, and she''s turned out to be utterly useless -just a worthless shrew."


    Her tone was both malicious and helpless. Besides, she was right.


    Despiteing from a distinguished background, Carissa was well-educated and cultured. She was also trained in martial arts from a young age. She was considerate and dutiful, always taking initiative in her responsibilities.


    However, Aurora was quite different. She would get angry when things didn''t go her way, and although there were many in the residence who resented her, no one dared to voice their criticism openly. The thought of that night, when Aurora was smashing things and


    fighting with Barrett, was enough to give Reba a heart attack. She deeply regretted her decisions.


    Carissa''s audacity to speak boldly at Harmony Pce was proof of her substantial influence and power.


    In contrast, Aurora only dared to be domineering within the confines of her own household. When faced with outside criticism, she wouldn''t dare to respond. Shecked the confidence and capability to stand her ground.


    In the capital, power determined everything. Before the many influential figures, Aurora was nothing.


    Reba had been bedridden for days, and Aurora had never oncee to attend to her. Aurora couldn''t even disy the most basic respect to her inws. Her own family had left the capital, clearly avoiding her like the gue.


    It was baffling that someone like Aurora had been brought into the Warren family household.


    Reba grew increasingly infuriated, which aggravated her condition. However, there was nothing she could do to change the situation. She even found herself resenting Carissa for concealing her affiliation with her guild.


    If Reba had known that Kyle was Carissa''s senior, she would never have allowed Carissa to leave the family!


    In truth, Reba didn''t fully grasp Kyle''s influence. She had only seen the admiration people had for him, with a single painting fetching a fortune. Even Eleanor had been stunned for a long time after knowing the torn painting was a genuine piece. It was clear that Kyle was a remarkable figure.
