章 469: Internal Tension

France, December 20th 1803

8:05 AM

Lukas stood there, watching Herman walking away for a few more moments. He didn't know what to say.

Soon, Lukas could feel Julian approaching him from behind and placing his hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry about it, vice-captain. It happens to everyone, not everything goes your way," he said with a smirk, and a clearly taunting tone of voice.

Lukas could only clench his fists in fury before shaking Julian's hand off. After that, he immediately started running towards Herman.

Julian blinked a few times. '... What's he gonna do?' he wondered.

Lukas quickly caught up to Herman, and started walking beside him. "Herman, what's wrong with you? Everything that I told you didn't convince you? What else do I need to tell you to see that my decision is the right one? God damn it, Herman, listen to me!" he said, sounding very anxious.
