The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 4183

Chapter 4183

After getting Empress Heidi's validation, Master Magaera smiled and threw the letter at General Grunt's feet. There was no bad blood between Master Magaera and General Grunt, so he was looking to cause problems for him. However, Master Magaera was skeptical and no matter who it was, if he had identified a problem, he would point it out.

Finally, the Nine Heaven Emperor gathered his thoughts and frowned as he asked coldly, "General Grunt, what's going on? This paper belongs to the fiend race. Why did you say you used it for official matters in the Imperial Sky Palace?"

Immediately, General Grunt's face turned pale, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he knelt. "Your Majesty, I was mistaken earlier. This letter was written by the spy I sent when he snuck into the fiend race camp. The situation was critical and the spy simply used a paper he found at the fiend race camp and wrote down the battle plan."

General Grunt was nervous. He had never thought a paper would become a clue. Moreover, it was Master Magaera who discovered it. 'Since I've been found out, I'll just talk my way out of it.'

'Written by the spy?' Hearing that answer, the Nine Heaven Emperor frowned and pondered.

Master Magaera scoffed and there was disbelief on his face. "General

Grunt, stop lying. I know the papers and quills in the fiend race camp are monitored by designated fiend race warriors. It's impossible for the spy you sent to get past their defenses and steal the papers."

Then, his eyes sharpened. "There can only be one explanation. This letter was not written by your spy, but it was leaked from someone inside the fiend race. You just got the letter by chance. Is that true?"

Seeing Master Magaera guessed the truth, General Grunt panicked and trembled as he remained on his knees, speechless.

The Nine Heaven Emperor finally understood when he saw General Grunt's reaction. He was furious, but he held it in due to General Grunt's identity.

He asked softly, "Is that true, General Grunt?"

"Yes..." General Grunt lowered his head to avoid eye contact with the Nine Heaven Emperor. "Yes. I found the letter when I was patrolling outside the fiend race camp. Your Majesty, I have wronged you. 1

"After seeing the letter, I was excited. I wanted to get the credit for it, so I lied that it was written by me. Your Majesty, I was blinded by greed and committed this crime. I beg you to have mercy and spare me this time." 1

As he spoke, General Grunt was full of sincerity, but deep down, he felt lucky. 'Darryl is not here and Solar General is dead. As long as I keep the secret, the Nine Heaven Emperor won't find out the truth. His Majesty will take my lying lightly.' 1

The officials standing around shook their heads in disappointment and contempt.

"So he picked up the letter from somewhere else."

"I thought he was so capable that he received secrets from the fiend race camp."

"I never thought General Grunt, who's always been arrogant, would turn out to be someone like this. How dare he lie to His Majesty just to gain credit."

The discussion went on while General Grunt remained kneeling, feeling guilty and dismayed.
