Chapter 957
Leroy was seething with frustration. Today's negotiations had been his opportunity to take the initiative by
demanding accountability and making unacceptable conditions, then declaring the talks a failure. After that, he
would return to Westhaven and declare war.
Yet now, not only had he been unable to follow through with his plan, the negotiations had also shifted into a
disadvantageous position. To make matters worse, his niece, the grand princess, was looking down on him.
The humiliation gnawed at him.
Jeremiah, who had been sitting quietly to the side, felt a sense of resolve settle over him as he watched the
proceedings. If they could negotiate peacefully, that would be ideal. The massacre in Fawnrun City was
Starhaven'’s fault, and they were willing to offer apologies, compensation, and make amends-but only if given a
chance for peaceful negotiations.
Westhaven had distributed the case files regarding the Fawnrun City incident, which contained numerous
firsthand accounts from soldiers who had been captured alongside the late Westhaven crown prince, Arthur.
Shad survived, and they had given detailed testimonies to recreate the true events.

Not everyone in the villages had met a tragic end. Shad managed to escape. Even those survivors had seen
part of the brutality that had unfolded.
The case files referred to the crown prince as “Artie,” but Rafael and Davis understood it was a pseudonym.
For Rafael and his group, the files were difficult to read. The details of the slaughter were heartbreaking. Even
though Aurora and Zeke had been repeatedly interrogated and forced to reveal every detail, there were still
things they had kept hidden-such as the methods used to force the villagers to betray the crown prince, the
torture, and the cruelty.
The files also excluded how they had tortured Arthur.
Lisandra recognized Jeremiah, and ordered Penny to give him a copy of the files for his
review.
At Rafael’s signal, the officials from the Diplomatic Affairs Department began distributing the files concerning the
Sinclair family massacre. The Sinclair family’s destruction was intricately tied to Victory Pass, and it was
inevitable that this issue would be brought to the table during the negotiations.
The room fell into a heavy silence, only broken by the rustling of pages turning.
Lisandra had been managing state affairs for many years, and she wasn’t one easily moved by compassion. As
she read through the Sinclair family’s massacre, however, she felt her
well up with tears.

What struck her as the most tragic was the fact that every single male member of the Sinclair family had died
for the kingdom, leaving behind only the elderly, women, children, and the family’s servants. And even those
people’s deaths had been brutal-bodies hacked beyond recognition, with the children having met the sgrim
fate.
Leroy skimmed through the file quickly. When he reached the part that detailed the 103 cuts, he looked up, his
voice cold as he said in Westic, “You all seem to understand why there were 108 cuts. General Artie’s wounds
also added up to 108. While none of them were fatal, each wound represents a degradation.”
The translator relayed the message, though Rafael and the officials from the Diplomatic Affairs Department
understood the meaning without needing the translation.
Rafael met Leroy’s words with an equally cold response, “What you said is chilling, Mr. Stellwyn. We have never
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcovered for Aurora. Are you trying to cover for the spies who wiped out the Sinclair family? If you want to make
comparisons, then those 108 cuts should have
been returned to those who committed the crime, not inflicted upon innocent wond
children. The way you speak makes one wonder if you truly wish to seek justice for the innocent victims.”
Leroy felt the sting of the remark and bristled, “The Sinclair family wasn’t just any common family! Even if they
were all widows and orphans, they were a noble house.”
“And so?” Rafael shot back. “Are the lives of those from a noble family life worth more than anyone else’s? You
hold an official title, Mr. Stellwyn. Does that mean your life is worth more than commoners’ lives? Are you saying
that they are beneath you?”
Leroy’s frustration flared. “That's not what | meant! Why are you so anxious, Hell Monarch?”
Rafael didn’t respond and continued to focus on the files. Lisandra and the other envoys were engrossed in their
reading as well; they showed no interest in engaging with Leroy.
Once everyone had finished reading, both sides expressed their regret over what had happened. Their attitudes
were sincere.
The massacre of the villages at Fawnrun City and the destruction of the Sinclair family were both tragedies. Since
the two kingdoms were sitting down to negotiate, it was essential to respect the facts as they stood. Neither side
would dispute the known truth.
