Blood leaked out of the old man's body, making his face turn pale. However, his eyes remained firm as he stared deeply at the Grand Duke.
Looking at the old official's unwavering spirit, everyone couldn't help but feel emotional. They recalled the sacrifices they made to make Gretaja into what it was now.
"My lord, I also think that we should surrender. We can minimize our losses by doing so. This is the only way to prevent more bloodshed." Another official stated.
Lloyd's expression darkened.
"You spineless bastards! How dare you suggest something so ridiculous?! We still have His Highness! We only need to hold on until he arrives!" One of the Grand Duke's diehard supporters lashed out.
A rift was formed among the Grand Duke's followers. They quarreled and exchanged derogatory remarks, making the whole place a total mess.
"Silence!" Lloyd snapped out, his voice shaking in fury.
Everyone shut their mouths when they sensed the Grand Duke's overwhelming aura.
