Barrett lifted the curtain and stepped outside the room with Aurora. They moved so silently that their footsteps were almost inaudible, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
After waiting for a moment, he opened the door and quickly hid behind it. Once he was certain there was no immediate danger, he cautiously peered outside.
The sight that met his eyes was chilling.
The lanterns in the corridor cast light on the stairs, where three bodies lay sprawled. These were the maids who had served Aurora. They had been killed with a single sword thrust to the throat, unable to even utter a cry.
Blood trickled down the stone steps, staining them a deep crimson.
Barrett's mind instantly flashed to the Duke of Northwatch's family's massacre.
He gasped. "My parents…!"
He was about to rush out when Aurora grabbed his arm.
Aurora's face was ashen, her lips trembling slightly. "I think… I think they're after me."
Barrett quickly understood. It was possible that spies from Westhaven were seeking revenge.
Just moments ago, Aurora had insisted she was in the right. But now, Barrett saw how hollow those justifications were. Aurora had been so confident in defending herself, but now, she was clearly terrified.
Four shadowy figures silently entered the courtyard. They were dressed in black, and their faces were concealed. Only their cold, piercing eyes were visible.
The four of them held a sword each, and each blade emanated a chilling aura. The strong scent of blood and a murderous intent filled the air.
Aurora clutched her sword, and her hand trembled slightly.
Suddenly, four swords came at them at once. Barrett and Aurora quickly turned and ran into the room, shutting the door behind them. One person secured the door while the other blew out the lamp, plunging the room into darkness.
They stood back to back with their swords drawn, the blades' glint illuminating their sharp, vigilant eyes.
