With a proud smile on his face, Hagen returned and met his father in his office.

He walked right in front of his father and bowed to him. "Father, your son, Hagen, has returned. I've settled all the problems within the fort."

"What? What is happening? Why did you do this to me?! I've done everything for the fort and yet, you're throwing me like this?!" Obviously, Hagen didn't think he was in the wrong. He never realized that claiming the Demon Banner Army's deeds was one of the greatest mistakes.
