Chapter 1054: Section 666: Sudden Turn (Part 1)_2
Constantine heard one piece of bad news after another from his colleagues.
He thought of that child again.
His elder brother had probably already perished on the battlefield along with tens of thousands of comrades.
"There’s new information. The Northern Kingdom is summoning all its citizens back." A mentor rushed into the office, saying, "Excuse me, everyone, I need to return. Could someone take over my classes?"
"Why are you going back? Didn’t you say your father fled from that kingdom? Why bother going back?" someone asked.
"Because I heard that Malin wagered against the Northern Nobles. If they fail, Mr. Malin will return. I’m going back to help the Northern Kingdom," the young man explained. He noticed the expressions of shock and suspicion on several colleagues’ faces and awkwardly added with a nervous smile, "Sorry, I’m a Northernist."
"And that’s precisely why you shouldn’t go back," Constantine shook his head. "You should know that the cause of your Northernist Mendel’s death hasn’t been fully investigated yet."
"But Mr. Constantine, sir, I’m not going back for that damned king or his lackeys—I’m going back for my compatriots, my comrades... Farewell, everyone." The young man hurriedly gathered his belongings and left the office without looking back.
Constantine, left behind, furrowed his brow.
If such a youth is deemed a traitor by the Northern Kingdom’s king... then, who truly will be the gravedigger of this nation?
What an intriguing question.
