Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 527

Before Viola could react, she saw the black-clad figures burst in, their swords dripping with blood. It was obvious they had killed people on their way here.

Viola screamed and rushed to the door, banging on it with urgency. "Aurora, open the door! Open the door!"

Yvonne and Julia shielded Viola, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. "Stay away..."

The black-clad figures swung their swords, slicing through the air with deadly precision. Yvonne and Julia felt a cold sensation across their throats, and then blood splattered and gushed out.

Their throats were cut, and they couldn't even utter a sound before collapsing.

Viola was paralyzed with fear and sank to the ground. She covered her ears and cried, "Help! Help!"

One of the black-clad figures advanced towards Viola with his sword raised. Just then, Barrett delivered a powerful kick, sending the assailant flying. He immediately took up a defensive stance beside Viola.

"Get inside and hide!" Barrett was facing imminent danger, and he pushed Viola toward the room.

Viola sobbed and said, "Aurora has locked the door!"

Barrett kicked the door with all his might, but it wouldn't budge. He continued to fend off the attackers while shouting, "Aurora, open the door!"

Aurora stood inside, her face serious as she gripped her sword, her hands slightly trembling. She ignored Barrett's words and showed no sign of opening the door.

In a short span of time, Barrett had been struck by a sword. He barely managed to evade further attacks. His skills, honed during his time in the Capital Guard, were his only saving grace. Otherwise, he might have been dead by now.

He attempted to draw the assassins into a deserted courtyard, but it was clear that they were specifically targeting Aurora. So, three of them tried to knock down the door, and one was left to deal with Barrett.

Despite battling only one of the assassins, Barrett found it exceedingly difficult.

As Viola watched the chaos unfold, she nearly fainted from fear. She scrambled into a corner and hid.

The estate's guards arrived, but the Warren family couldn't afford many, and those present were no match for the assassins. Within a few minutes, they were all gravely injured.

Despite being stabbed twice, Barrett continued to resist fiercely. He was once a military general, and he was stubborn and resilient. Even as blood flowed from his wounds, he fought with all his strength.
