Chapter 341 She will be going with
"Ember Windstar, do you trust ?"
"Huh?"
Hearing the sudden question, Ember frowned.
"C'mon, you belong to
now, Ember.
You trust
with all your heart, right?"
Ember's face montarily turned red before turning back to normal and she questioned,
"What are you planning?"
"Well, I'll tell you after you answer my question."
Nux smiled.
"You are annoying."
Ember complained.
"So? Do you trust ?"
"It doesn't matter if I trust you or not. I am yours now, you have the responsibility to take care of . You can do whatever you like, I will follow you."
Ember answered.
"Hmmm, I didn't you were the shy type."
Nux muttered.
Ember's face twitched and she retorted in anger.
"Are you going to tell
what you are thinking or not!?"
"Alright Alright, you don't have to be so aggressive, I will tell you."
Nux chuckled and then, he revealed his plan,
"Let's run away."
"Huh?" Ember frowned.
"…"
Nux, however, did not explain any further and continued to look at Ember with a smile on his face.
"Didn't I just tell you the problem? I can't run away, I don't have anywhere else to go."
"You do not have to worry about that, I have a perfect place where you can live without any troubles at all.
You just have to agree and follow ."
Nux replied.
"…"
Ember turned silent and started thinking.
"…what about my soldiers…?"
In the end, she voiced her worries.
"They will be going against an Army that is a lot stronger than them, if I am not here with them, many of them would lose their life.
I don't want that to happen."
"Things would be worse if you stay here, Ember.
Currently, there is no way for you and your army to win, if the two nations clash, your defeat is inevitable. There are 7 King Stage Cultivators in the opponents camp and I am not even talking about the Emperor right now.
If your army wants to win this war, the only way is to seek the Dynast's help. However, with your relationship with the Dynast, that man would never help you and your soldiers will be the ones to suffer because of this.
Right now, the only thing you can do is leave, this way, you will be safe and the Dynast would be forced to help the army since the newly appointed General would be his subordinate."
"…"
Ember turned silent.
"So the real problem is …?"
She questioned.
"No, the real problem is not you, Ember.
The real problem is the Dynast. However, since the Dynast holds the power, we can't go against him right now.
We can only back down."
Nux answered.
Ember nodded and then, she spoke,
"I understand, I will leave with you. However, we won't be leaving today."
This ti, the determination in Ember's eyes was unwavering.
She won't back off, and Nux knew him.
However, he was curious.
"Why do you say that?"
"I will write a resignation letter to the Dynast and will only leave once the next General arrives. I absolutely won't leave my soldiers leaderless, even for a single day.
I don't know when those bastards will attack us again."
Nux looked into Ember's fiery red eyes and couldn't help but smile,
"Alright, we will do as you say but the talk with the Deputy Generals, you would only tell them what I tell you, okay?"
"Deal."
Ember nodded and then, she started writing the letter.
…
'I need your help.'
'Leave it on .'
Thyra nodded and then, she walked towards the three Deputy Generals who were standing together discussing sothing with solemn looks on their faces.
"I did not like the expression on Finkelstein's face when he left."
Thyra spoke.
The three Deputy Generals looked at her and Lawrence nodded,
"I did not like that as well."
Thyra continued.
"The General hasn't co outside as well, I am worried."
Lawrence looked towards Ember's room and narrowed his eyes,
"Don't worry, she will co out soon."
"I know that."
Thyra nodded and continued talking with the three Deputy Generals.
Ti passed and soon, Ember walked out of her room with a solemn expression on her face.
Thyra and the Three Deputy Generals rushed toward her.
"General, what happened, what did the Dynast's letter say?" Lawrence questioned.
Ember then looked at the 4 people in front of her and then, she answered,
"He refused to help us in any way possible."
Lawrence frowned,
"Why do you have that expression on your face then? Hadn't we already expected that?"
"There is sothing that you are not telling us, isn't there?"
Thyra narrowed her eyes and questioned.
Lawrence and the other two Deputy Generals frowned as well.
Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Ember sighed,
"The Dynast has ordered
to give up on my position as the General of the Army and return."
"WHAT!?"
The three Deputy Generals shouted in shock.
"Why would he do that!?"
"Is he out of his mind!?"
"Where else would he find a better General than you!?"
"Wait… is it that Finkelstein bastard?"
"NO! I would never serve that bastard as my leader!"
"I agree! I would rather die!"
The Deputy Generals showed their rejection, however, Lawrence…
He was oddly silent.
"General…"
"What is it?" Ember questioned as she turned towards Lawrence.
"…is it related to 'that' incident?"
"…yes." Ember nodded and the three Deputy Generals turned silent.
"That bastard! He still wants to force you into marrying him!"
"This is unacceptable!"
"Yes! I don't accept this! I would leave the army as well! I don't want to serve this Dynasty anymore!"
"Yes! I will follow the General as well!"
"Indeed."
"No, I won't allow it."
Ember, however, shook her head.
"Why?"
"Rember, your family is still living in the Dynasty. Don't do sothing stupid, it might harm your family in the future.
I am different, my family has already abandoned ."
"…"
The Deputy Generals turned silent.
"…what would you do now?"
After a long silence, Lawrence questioned.
"I can't return to the capital, you know what would happen if I do that," Ember answered.
"Then where are you planning to go?"
"She will be going with ."
