The day after the treaty was signed, the Westhaven envoys entered the palace to bid their farewells. Salvador had intended to host a farewell banquet for them, but Lisandra's determination to return himmediately left him with no choice but to agree to her wishes.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Justice had already placed Aurora in a prison cart and sent her to Concord Lodge. When she saw that there was no sign of Dominic, panic surged through her.
"Why is it just me? Where is Dominic? Doesn't he need to take responsibility too?" she shouted loudly.

Aurora struggled in the prison cart, trying to spot Barrett amidst the crowd, but there was no sign of him. Outside the hall, a long procession stretched before her, with the Capital Guard sending the group off. Even Carissa and Rafael were present, but Barrett was nowhere to be found.
She couldn't call out or struggle to free herself, nor could she even lift her head. The cart was uncomfortable to sit in, and standing was impossible. It reminded her of when she had trapped Arthur in an iron cage and taunted him with arrows.
Back then, she had felt a twisted sense of satisfaction. But now, fear gripped her because she knew this was just the beginning.
Carissa had specifically brought Lulu along today. Standing a short distance away from the prison cart, the two of them could clearly see the fear and panic reflected in Aurora's eyes.
Lulu wanted nothing more than to drag her back to Northwatch Estate and tear her apart, but she knew that Aurora now belonged to Westhaven, and she could not take matters into her own hands for vengeance.
The tears in her eyes felt as though they were made of her own family's blood, burning her eyes and scorching her heart.

She instinctively shrank back as the Ministry of Justice officials unlocked the cart. She was chained, so even with the cart open, she couldn't escape.
Her eyes burning with fury, Lulu raised her hand and slapped Aurora hard across the face.
"You killed so many people. You're worse than an animal!" She was quite strong. That slap sent Aurora's head snapping to the side, hitting the iron bars of the prison cart.
Aurora was gagged, so she could only breathe heavily through her nose, her eyes filled with fear and anger. Her words were muffled as she tried to scream, as if trying to curse Lulu for daring to strike her.
Carissa watched as Aurora writhed like a caged beast. She didn't feel any сома satisfaction or the thrill of Clan action revenge-just a deep sadness, knowing that killing that woman wouldn't bring her loved ones back.
Aurora scraped the iron chain against the cloth binding her mouth, finally shifting it down to her chin Then, she ve took a deep breath and roared loudly, "Carissa Sinclair, you're biased and corrupt! Where is Dominic? He's the one behind it all... Mmph!" Carissa calmly reached over and moved the cloth back into place, then had her tied up more tightly to prevent her from shouting along the way.
Once Aurora was secured, Carissa didn't speak a single word to her. Not even a glance. She simply took Lulu's hand, walked toward Rafael, and stood beside him.
Rafael adjusted her clothes with a gentle, almost imperceptible smile, his eyes filled with affection that he couldn't hide.
