Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Why? Why did he do this? Didn’t he claim that he’ll always protect the country and the people? Why did he still do something like this? The seal on the military map clearly shows that he has sold the map to the rival army. What did he do to end up selling this?

“There’s a river at Hallsbay. When he went there to quell the war, it still belonged to our country. After that war, it became Hallsbay’s.”

“Why?”

“Because he lost that battle,” replied the person from the military tribunal mockingly.

Sebastian’s mind turned blank.

What right does he have? What right does he have to give our country’s land away?

His eyes reddened as disappointment engulfed him. He could almost feel something snapping within him as if his entire world had just collapsed onto him. Unable to keep his balance anymore, he staggered backward.

“Tell me! Why did you do that? Is it true? It’s not, right?” Sebastian asked with his last ounce of hope as he strode over to Jonathan, who was handcuffed in front of him.

However, Jonathan did not even have the courage to meet his gaze.

“That river… is a saltwater river. It doesn’t have any use in our country. My troop had been stationed there for three whole days at that time. We couldn’t take the enemy down. I… I didn’t want any more people to die.”

“So you gave it up just like that? What right do you have? How is it different from colluding with the enemy and betraying your country? The land belongs to the country, not you.”

“Nonsense! The river didn’t belong to any country. Louis insisted on having me fight the war, so I had to go there with my troops. I did not commit treason. I merely made a choice after considering the mutual benefits!” Jonathan snapped as if triggered by being accused of betraying the country.

Sebastian was stunned.
