Salute To The General

Erwin had died, and the Holmes family had fallen.

Will and the other participants in the rebellion had also received their inevitable punishment.

After dealing with Erwin and Will, Nathan ordered Elijah, Lucas, Zach, Fang, and others to take over the affairs regarding the defense of Brimmopolis temporarily.

Nathan himself took over the Capital Garrison of Brimmopolis. He served as the commander-in-chief of the Capital Garrison and at the same time served as the Chief Military Governor in the military. The Capital Garrison would operate under his leadership from then on.

Colin was promoted to be the Deputy Commander of the Capital Garrison by Nathan, for the former had done an excellent job in subjugating the rebels.

Colin was extremely excited. He had been with Nathan for many years as the leader of the National Guard, but he had never had the chance to shine. Now that he was appointed as the Capital Garrison's Deputy Commander, he finally earned a chance to unleash his full potential. Although he was promoted to Deputy Commander of the Capital Garrison, he was still the leader of Nathan's National Guard.

The next day, Brimmopolis returned to its former order and stability.

Nathan had been busy for more than twenty hours without taking a break. Despite that, he thought of freeing up some time to go to the Windsor residence to thank his mentor, Hansel.

If it were not for Hansel backing him up by standing in front of thousands of soldiers previously, the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor might have been in jeopardy, and Nathan's family might have been in danger as well.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Hence, right after completing most of his work at hand, Nathan went to the Windsor residence to thank Hansel in person without even taking a breather.

As usual, Hansel was dressed in plain clothes like a commoner, yet he looked very elegant.

Camilla wore a blue dress and accompanied him by his side with a smile on her face.

The couple walked out with the family members to give Nathan a warm welcome.

Hansel looked at Nathan with pride and love like a father looking proudly at his son.

He smiled and said, "Nathan, you're my disciple, and you're like a son to me. The incident this time is related to the well-being of the country. It only makes sense for me to do what I can to salvage the situation, no matter whether it is a public personal matter to me. Fortunately, most of them still respected me and agreed to fall back eventually without causing severe

consequences."

Nathan smiled and said, "You were very heroic when you stood in front of thousands of troops despite wearing plain clothes. Even ancient heroes are incomparable to you."

Upon hearing that, Hansel laughed and turned to Camilla. "Look at this. Nathan has changed. He now knows how to flatter me."

"I don't think Nathan is exaggerating. Despite dressing like a commoner, you managed to dissuade the rebels' leader, and the latter even took his own life out of shame after hearing your words. Twenty thousand rebels at the scene, too, surrendered willingly. In my opinion, you're indeed an extraordinarily wise man."

As Camilla spoke, she gazed at Hansel with eyes full of love. She didn't hide her admiration for her husband at all.

Although Hansel was already old, when he saw his beautiful wife's tender and loving eyes, he couldn't help but blush and feel a little embarrassed. However, her words somehow tugged at his heartstrings, and he felt a warming sensation deep in his heart.

In a trance, he relived the moment when he was in his forties, and Camilla was only in her twenties at that time. There was a huge age gap between the two of them.

At that time, he had been at a low point in his life and had been confused and frustrated with his life.

It was also that year that Camilla had confessed her love for him despite both their families' objections. They didn't care how the others viewed them, and the two finally got together.

He still clearly remembered the memorable night. Under the bright moon, Camilla had carried her pair of heels and climbed over the walls barefooted to go on a date with him. Now, several decades had passed, and they both got old together.

However, they had not been separated. Instead, their relationship got better and sweeter.

Camilla had been with him from his worst times to his prime. She was also with him when he stepped down from the position of president. Even after

they had lived a life full of ups and downs, her love for him remained unchanged.

Hansel gently looked at his wife and whispered in his heart. I have a great wife that loves me unconditionally. What more can I ask for?
