Let’s make a bet

I looked at the vice general without saying a single thing, but there was the same smile on my face.

The vice general looked at me with an uncertain look, almost as if he didn't know how to feel about me.

This vice general's name was General Killock, he was one of the trusted generals under the fourth prince.

He had been serving the fourth prince for over ten years now, so there was no need to doubt his loyalty. But there was a single time where he had been disloyal to the fourth prince.

It was something that even the fourth prince hadn't been aware of, but it could be considered a blemish on his otherwise perfect record.

As for why he would do this, it was to save his men.

They had completed the mission in the end, but it had resulted in other consequences that the fourth prince had to deal with later. But the fourth prince just thought that these consequences were because of something else and not because of General Killock.
