Braydon Pretends to be the Little Fool

Channing Lestrange, the deputy commander of the Northern Army, had fallen in battle, his remains still unburied within the city walls. 

Before his demise, he left behind a valiant message, expressing his unwavering dedication to his homeland. 

Channing's dying wish was to be interred in Hansworth, not in a foreign land—a testament to the deep-rooted tradition of honoring one's origins among the Hansworth people. 

Each of them harbored ties to their homeland, yearning to rest in the embrace of their native soil upon their passing.

In the somber atmosphere outside the living room, a solemn voice announced the arrival of Maddox Johnstone from the Northern Army. 

Luther Carden promptly welcomed him inside, recognizing Maddox's elevated status as a lieutenant commander within the army following his tutelage under Braydon Neal in saber techniques.
