Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3784

His face turned grim, and he glanced at Nathan uncertainly. "Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"

Nathan pulled out a white handkerchief, his hand trembling slightly as he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. In a soft voice, he said, "I've received word that someone claims you've betrayed me. It was you who informed the Four Emperors about my itinerary. It was you who told him that I had been injured and hadn't recovered since my battle with Medille. It was you who instigated the Four Emperors to assassinate me..."

Max's eyes widened instantly. Frustrated, he said, "Who said that?"

Nathan's tone was rather calm as he asked indifferently, "Don't worry about who said it. You just need to answer me. Did this really happen?"

Max exclaimed loudly, "No! Absolutely not! This is slander against me by those with malicious intentions! Someone is trying to sow discord between us, Your Majesty. I hope you see this clearly. Especially now that you're injured, there are many people who can't wait for something bad to happen to you. They're eager to divide us outsiders and take us out one by one! Your Majesty, you mustn't be deceived."

Nathan glanced at Max, speaking calmly. "I was just asking about your situation. Don't be too anxious. Since you said that's not the case, let's set this matter aside for now. There's another matter I want to ask you about!"

Max lowered his head, his eyes darting around restlessly, his expression a mix of shock and unease.

"Feel free to ask me anything, Your Majesty. I will certainly respond truthfully."
