Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1063

Yuna walked toward Yasmine and Penny, the lamp in her hand casting a soft glow.

Penny wasn't detained, but she knew what awaited her. She wasn't afraid of death. As long as she could see Aurora torn apart, she would die without regret.

"I've already told her. She's terrified," Yuna said, her gaze briefly flicking over Penny's face before resting on Yasmine.

"Let her experience the fear of death," Yasmine replied with a cool tone.

"When she dies, I'll die in peace," Penny said, taking a deep breath as tears flooded from her eyes like a broken dam.

"You didn't have to die," Yasmine retorted. "We were set on taking Aurora, but you had to go and mess things up."

Penny wiped her tears. "I don't regret it. Even if I had to choose again, I'd do the same."

A flicker of annoyance passed across Yuna's eyes. "You're still saying that? If you don't think you've done anything wrong, why bother pretending to regret it in front of Her Highness?"

The night wind rustled Penny's cloak and disheveled hair. Her eyes and nose were red, but beneath it all, there was a deep, burning resentment.

"I never wanted to disappoint Her Highness. I've always respected her, but I don't understand her. Prince Arthur was her brother—how could she just let it go? Did he mean nothing to her?

"It's for his sake! Even if the kingdom goes to war for his sake, it would be worth it. I believe if we called for it, the people wouldn't hesitate. They'd march to battle, even without conscription or supplies."

Yasmine listened and then responded, her voice sharp, "Let's set aside whether the people would be willing to do that. Even if they would, are you planning to expose Prince Arthur's humiliation and suicide to the public? Right now, we're covering up the truth to preserve his honor.

"Everyone—Westhaven's court officials and the people of Starhaven—believes Prince Arthur died on the battlefield protecting those two villages. He died with battle achievements to his name. But now you want to tell everyone that he never earned any merit, that he was captured, humiliated, castrated, and then took his own life?"

She raised a hand, pointing to the sky. "Ask Prince Arthur himself if he would want this."

Penny froze, tears slipping down her face once more. "Does Prince Arthur's injustice never deserve to be known? He was the crown prince!"
