802nd Break: Respect

Jiang Empire, imperial palace.

"Good news! Good news, everyone!" a messenger shouted with his face obviously filled with excitement as he rushed inside the great hall where all the ministers had gathered.

"What's the rush?" one of the guards asked and pulled back the messenger who was skipping on his steps and almost ran into the ministers.

"Ah! It's because something good has happened on the frontlines!" the messenger answered.

"What is it?" the ministers asked.

"The enemies have retreated!" the messenger said. His eyes are bright in joy.

"Really?!" they all exclaimed in surprise and couldn't hide their joy. After all, with the enemies retreating, their soldiers will finally have some time to rest. Also, doesn't this mean that the enemies couldn't overpower them no matter how fierce they (enemies) were, as well as dangerous?
