Nathan halted at this. “Is there anything else, General Myron?”
Myron's words came out like a chuckle, “It's nothing serious but my subordinates are curious to see our new Governor's strength, isn't that right everyone?”
Nathan hadn't spoken. But Colin, captain of the national guard stepped forward. He spat, “What do you think you're doing? Questioning the Chief Military Governor's strength so rudely. You dare challenge him to a duel?”
