Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2783

Horror-stricken, all the others exclaimed, “Your Grace!”

Caught off guard, nobody could react in time to go to Szymon’s rescue.

Everyone's expression varied as they stared at the dead duke and the hole in his forehead.

Many of Szymon's faithful subordinates pulled out their weapons and were about to charge at Nathan furiously to avenge their duke.

“Stop!” Piero, who was kneeling beside Szymon's lifeless body,

thundered.

Scowling at everyone around him, he reprimanded, “Have all of you gone nuts? Don't you know what will happen if you act impulsively? Do you think you can afford to cause a battle between the two countries? Even if Queen Annie were here right now, I bet she wouldn't allow you to act recklessly either!”

Piero's words were like cold water for those at the peak of fury. With that, they came to their senses and cooled their heads off.

Even so, some protested indignantly with fiery rage in their eyes, “He killed

Duke Szymon. How can we let him off like this?”

Piero replied resignedly, “Things have progressed to an extent beyond our control. Everyone, please don't act recklessly. I believe the royal family will resolve this matter and give everyone an explanation.”

Hearing that, they quietened down. It was known to everyone that Szymon's father-in-law was Jurgis, who was a prince and had the highest authority in the royal family. Apart from that, Annie had a soft spot for Szymon.

Hence, they presumed Jurgis would not let Nathan off for killing Szymon. Moreover, Annie would surely seek justice for the latter as well.
