I Was Mistaken as a Great War Commander

A heavy silence hung between Daniel and Magref.

The ticking of the wall clock was so distinct that it seemed to echo in the room.

Within the artificially crafted stillness, the two men locked eyes, neither of them speaking a word.

Magref appeared motionless, but his mind was racing with countless thoughts.

“You want me to tell you who the Empire's collaborator is? So, the person who provided the information to the Kingdom of Belmore isn’t a double agent?”

Daniel’s words confirmed that the traitor was indeed one of their own, making it impossible to let this slip away.

The man had to stay alive—he was the key to obtaining valuable intelligence going forward.@@novelbin@@

“But…”

If Magref didn’t speak the truth, who knew what Daniel Steiner would do?

Right now, the man holding the Crown Prince’s life in his hands—Daniel Steiner—was in the most advantageous position in these negotiations.

“But still… Daniel Steiner wouldn’t kill the Crown Prince, would he?”

From the Empire’s perspective, Crown Prince Blef was an invaluable resource that could provide them with multiple strategic advantages in the negotiations with the Kingdom of Belmore.

Magref didn’t want to believe Daniel would actually kill him, but every time he looked into those black, emotionless eyes, an icy chill ran down his spine.

“What do I do…”

Noticing the growing tension in Magref’s expression, Daniel suddenly smiled.
