Chapter 228: Betrayal (part 2)

16th July 1574

"You still have the guts to spew such bullshit after already picking a side? To think that I once considered you an honourable man who held his homeland in high regard!"

With Jan openly coming out to denounce me, I couldn't hold my emotions back. While I felt that his allegiances started to change all the way back when I refused the position of the country's econom, but back then, I just thought that he was disappointed with what he took for the lack of ambition.

Who could've known that this guess of mine would turn out to be a great underestimation?!

"Insulting me won't get you anywhere. I don't know why you did what you did, but your recklessness ends here. I'm asking one last time, lay down your weapons and surrender. Your crimes will be judged by the senate and I will guarantee your safety all the way there, that's the least I can do when taking our relationship into account."
