Chapter 252: Battle of Ladakh part -10
Despite everything falling apart, the presence of Commander Chewang had been the last thread holding Prince Sidkeong’s sanity together. He was the ultimate trump card—the one person Sidkeong was certain could weather any storm, no matter how fierce. But his sudden demise was a devastating blow, shattering that final thread of control.
Overcome with blind fury, Sidkeong swung his sword in a wild arc, decapitating the messenger in a single strike.
"Useless piece of shit."
Blood sprayed from the headless body, splattering the ground in a crimson pool as the corpse trembled before collapsing.
The brutal execution sent a wave of terror through the room. The prince no longer looked human—he was a demon incarnate. No one dared to move, fearing they might become the next victim of his unchecked rage.
Sidkeong exhaled, the warmth of fresh blood trickling down his face. He wiped it away, but the gesture only made him look more menacing, his fury simmering beneath a now eerie calm.
His sharp gaze fell on one of his guards. "Arrange a meeting. I want every high-ranking officer present, no matter their post or task. And bring Commander Chewang’s body."
Just as he turned to leave, his eyes locked onto the trembling squad leader. His voice was like steel. "Next time, it will be you—unless you catch the culprit or bring me a lead."
With that, he strode away.
The tension in the air finally eased as the prince departed, but for the squad leader, the nightmare was far from over. His legs gave out, and he pissed himself on the spot. Whether Sidkeong had noticed or simply ignored him didn’t matter. One thing was certain—he had to make himself useful, or he wouldn’t live to regret it.
After an hour, in another chamber of another stockade,
Commander Chewang’s body lay on a bed, wrapped in a white cloth, with petals scattered over it. Seated beside him was Prince Sidkeong, silent and brooding. Seven field commanders stood nearby: four from Ladakh and three from the Tibetan reinforcements, along with two advisors.
