Carissa had stayed up late, so she was groggy and barely coherent when Lulu cto report early in the morning.

Aurora was outside the estate, demanding to see Carissa. The noise was that Lulu had no choice but to wake her mistress. so disruptive As Carissa sat up in bed, blinking away sleep, she was stunned to realize that Aurora had actually come. She focused her inner force on listening more closely and confirmed that the commotion outside was indeed Aurora's voice, accompanied by thunderous banging on the door.

If this continued, it would disturb Ryan. Although he had improved significantly, loud and aggressive noises still frightened him.

Carissa's first instinct was to grab her Rose Spear and drive Aurora away. However, with Northwatch Estate surrounded by influential families, she couldn't afford to embarrass herself by personally handling such a situation. It was beneath her status to engage directly with Aurora.

However, Carissa's curiosity was piqued. She wondered what Aurora could possibly t at this point.

"Show her to the side hall in the outer courtyard. I'll change and join her shortly," Carissa said as she got up. Though clearly displeased at the disturbance, Lulu understood the urgency. Northwatch Estate had very few capable guards, and while they might manage to handle ordinary intruders, Aurora was skilled in martial arts. It would be even more of a disgrace if the guards were defeated.

"Alright, I'll go fetch her now," Lulu replied, turning to leave.

She instructed Pearl to assist Carissa with getting dressed as she muttered, "This is such bad luck." Carissa donned a slightly worn everyday outfit, layering it with a fur cloak.

It was chilly today, and snow seemed imminent. Perhaps it was for the best-Ryan could enjoy a snowball fight with the next snowfall. The sky was overcast, and the wind was biting. However, it was nothing compared to the Southern Frontier, where the wind seemed to pierce straight through one's bones.

In the side hall of the outer courtyard, Carissa finally saw Aurora.

She was dressed in a rich burgundy satin gown and draped in a black velvet cloak. A black vell covered her face, and her hair was styled in an elegant updo. Though she wore only a few pieces of jewelry, the red ruby earrings on her earlobes were strikingly radiant.

Her attire was impressive and exuded an air of sophistication. However, her eyes were cold and piercing. and they remained fixed on Carissa as she slowly walked in. Aurora remained seated, not rising or offering any greetings. Her cold, unblinking eyes followed Carissa's every step.

Choosing not to waste twith pleasantries, Carissa sat down and asked directly, "Why are you here?" "Barrett is about to marry the discarded daughter of the Earl of Silverstone's family. Do you know about this?" Aurora questioned in a chilling, sinister tone.

"What does that have to do with me?" Carissa replied with a hint of indifference. "Whether I know or not, it's none of my concern." "None of your concern?' Aurora sneered icily. "Yes, you're about to marry Prince Rafael. Why would you care about Barrett? But Carissa, fetask you something: would you still love Barrett if Prince Rafael wasn't in the picture?" Carissa's eyes grew cold with annoyance. "You chere to askthis? What answer do you want from me?"

Aurora spoke with a harsh, rude urgency, "I want to hear the truth from you. If Prince Rafael wasn't an option, would you still have feelings for Barrett? Even after the divorce, did you still hope he would cback to you? After leaving Valor Estate, have you ever regretted it? Have you ever been jealous of me? Have you ever hated me?" Carissa remembered what Charlotte had said-that Aurora was nearly insane. And seeing it for herself now, Aurora indeed seemed to have lost touch with reality.

What was all this about?

It had been so long since the divorce, and Barrett was set to marry someone new.

the new brray. Instead of confronting Aurora had cto question Carissa-someone who was no longer connected to Barrett in any way. What was the point of this?

"First, when Barrett returned to tellhe was going to marry you, I had no lingering feelings for him. Pwould haye left the Warren family immediately if I could," Carissa responded plainly
