Royal Capital Under Siege

Randal's eyes became moist as he felt incredibly moved.

He hardened his heart and made a great sacrifice by ruining his own reputation when retreating, and he cared for his subordinates so he couldn't let them die a meaningless death. He didn't think anyone or even the new Emperor would understand him or his decision to retreat.

So when he came to the Imperial Palace, he was prepared to die by taking his own life in return for his failure.

Logan knew that Randal was a loyal commander in the Army. As far as he knew, his Imperial Father would praise him a lot for his bravery and courage, but he also mentioned how he was compassionate and loyal.

Logan also knew that Randal's subordinates admired and obeyed him, so losing him would mean a great loss to the already weakened Loret Empire, as the army morale would be at an all-time low.

Logan, the current Emperor, should've in all right beheaded Randal by himself for the mistakes he had committed to establish his authority in the Throne Hall. But he also understood that doing so was foolish, as it would only lead to dissatisfaction and chaos among his men.

In reality, he had started to doubt whether if there were any people already planning to desert his Loret Empire.
