Salute To The General

Chapter 2067



Night fell and the streets were brightly lit.

At the Davier residence.

Decorations were hung everywhere as servants bustled about in preparation.

The key members of the Davier family gathered in the hall.

Clifford, the head of the family was currently sat on the grand armchair. His eyes had been shut for some time. No one knew if he was deep in thought, or if he had simply fallen asleep.

Valois paced back and forth, his face scrunched up anxiously. He kept looking outside and muttering to himself, "Why isn't he here? Where is he?" Clifford's eyes open slowly as he calmly said, "Can you keep still for a second, Valois?"

Hearing this, Valois stopped pacing. He looked at his older brother and laughed frustratedly. "The feast is already prepared, Clifford. Why isn't the Chief Military Governor here yet? Or is he not coming anymore?

"No. He should be on his way," Clifford said.

Valois's nerves crawled underneath his skin. He urged, "Clifford. We shouldn't have forced the Chief Military Governor to be here. We shouldn't have used military affairs to pressure him.
