The Crown Prince's Warning [Part 2]
Then who exactly was he serving?
His Empress?
Or Lord James?
The answer was painfully obvious.
"I understand."
General lowered his head even further.
His voice trembled slightly.
There was panic hidden beneath it.
There was uneasiness.
But there was also gratitude.
He understood what Kai had just done.
Kai had given him a way out.
If Kai truly wanted to pursue the matter to the end, General knew that he would have no chance of surviving.
Even if Leon did not kill him, the royal court could execute him for conspiring with rebels and misusing the army.
His years of service would not save him.
His military achievements would not save him.
The soldiers behind him would not save him.
Only Kai's decision could.
General swallowed hard.
"Thank you…"
The words remained trapped in his throat.
He did not dare say more.
Kai looked at him deeply.
There was disappointment in his eyes, but also a trace of reluctance.
