Aurora's expression shifted dramatically as Mary's words struck at her very core, hitting the mark precisely.
She had been seeking an opportunity to surpass Carissa, to prove that she was superior. This obsession tormented her day and night, robbing her of sleep and appetite, and filling her with a persistent rage.
Yet, despite her daily resentment, it seemed as though Carissa paid her no mind?
She couldn't believe it!
Clenching her fists, Aurora said, "Madam Clayton, have you ever encountered someone so deceitful that they practically embody hypocrisy? Have you seen someone climb to the top by stepping on the achievements of others?
"Someone who feasts on the military honors of their family and is never satisfied? Someone who disregards their comrades' lives, allowing them to be captured and mistreated? And yet, such a person becomes a princess consort. Do you really think the heavens are watching?"
Mary smiled, her wrinkles deepening her expression into a look of gentle kindness. "Such a person exists only in your heart. How could I possibly see her?"
Aurora's expression darkened, her anger evident even through the thin veil. "You don't believe me."
"Whether I believe you or not is of no importance," Mary said calmly. "What matters is that you believe it yourself, and you torment yourself because of it. You are unhappy, consumed by bitterness, and every thought you have is driven by this resentment and anger. In the end, this will only harm you."
Mary waved her hand dismissively. "Enough. I am tired. I don't remember what was said that day, and neither does anyone here. Once you leave today, everyone will see you and know that you came to apologize. I believe the common people will not trouble you further."
Barrett, who had been on edge the entire time, finally began to relax. He had feared that Aurora's indiscreet remarks would provoke Mary's anger.
In the end, Mary was above such pettiness and didn't stoop to Aurora's level.
