"General, would you like to accept the challenge?" the deputy general asked.
"Who is the enemy's general that will lead the first attack?" Luther asked in a low voice. He had never expected that he would
one day stand on the other side, as a traitor facing against the army of the Bright Dynasty.
"It is said to be General Shawn."
When Luther heard that, his eyes shined a bit. 'So it's him, ' he thought. With a smirk, he then commanded, "Give the order and
get ready to fight."
"Luther, close the gates and keep watch," Francis commanded when Luther approached him.
Upon hearing this, Luther turned around and looked at Francis with the same serious expression on his face. "Your Highness,
the enemy's leader in this battle is General Shawn," he said.
Francis was taken aback by the unexpected news. He couldn't believe what he just heard. Shawn, who was supposed to be in
the north domain, had come to the south domain? When did he arrive? A lot of questions were on his mind but he only said one
of them. "Why did he come here?"
"Presumably, ever since Prince Matthew started preparing to come here, he has already chosen a person to be in charge of the
south domain." A complex expression flashed through Luther's eyes before he added, "I just didn't expect it to be General
Shawn."
"No, it isn't him. He isn't the one whom Matthew has chosen!" Standing on the city gate tower, Francis looked at the dark clouds

gathering in the sky. With an aura of destroying everything on its way, the clouds weren't far from them. "Shawn is coming here
to make the first move."
Luther was a person of great discernment. He instantly realized that there were two valiant generals from the north domain:
General Shawn, and the rising newcomer, General Carlson!

current emperor's cousin, so he was the most suitable candidate to take charge of the south domain. Although Shawn's family had done a great favor for the late emperor, they didn't come from the exclusive royal bloodline. "He indeed favors Lucas!" Francis exclaimed with a sneer. 'You have even figured out how to get rid of the malignant tumor hidden in the south domain. Do you really have no

when he replied, "Come back alive. Luther, right now, you're the only one I have left. My brother Jason is gone, and she's... You must come back alive." Luther didn't respond right away for he wasn't sure if he could come back alive. He also didn't want to disappoint Francis in giving him false hopes. "I will try my best," he said after a while. "Go ahead! Since it's your desire to fight against Shawn, I won't stop you. Yet, on one condition, you must come back alive!" There were a lot of things that Francis was feeling—misery, desolation,

there was no one around him who kept on supporting him. It was for this reason that he didn't want to lose the man.
"Yes," Luther briefly responded before he left in a rush.
In no time, Luther led the troops to the battlefield while Francis stood on the gate tower to watch everything. It was in July and
the sun was burning so bright that it caused pain to everyone's skins. Becky approached Francis and held an umbrella for him.
"Your Highness, the sun is scorching here. Why don't we go inside for now?"
Francis shook his head and thought to himself, 'This battle is particularly important. Matthew is very adamant and even a little
desperate to defeat the Birch Pass so he can go and rescue Harper. But that's not going to happen for I will keep him here for as
long as we can. He wants to save her? There's no way that's going to happen!'

did not look like a mere scholar anymore. No one would associate him with the word "frailty" now. He was a powerful soldier dressed in the grandest military uniform. However, once he removed his military uniform, he looked like a modest gentleman and a weak scholar.
