An oath (2)

Dan the general looked up from his paperwork and saw Mars and gave a slight smile, he owed Mars a lot, if not for him the reconquest would have taken a whole lot more blood to achieve

"oh Mars, what is it?"

Mars straightened his back as a reflex and spoke out

"I'm here to announce something"

"...go on"

"first off I will be leaving the main force tomorrow, second I will be taking the prisoner with me"

Dan narrowed his eyes, he was not troubled by the first thing, while it was a shame to lose Mars as he was a valuable military asset it was not the end of the world, but the second thing was unacceptable for Dan as he had already sold off the prisoner to a wealthy merchant for an insane amount of cel, Mars of course didn't know this at the time

"you are free to leave but the prisoner stays here, that's the end of it"
