Semua Bab My General Husband, Guilty of Treason: Bab 1 - Bab 7

In the entire camp, there was only one general with the last name Foster.So the "husband" she was talking about could only be Liam.Without showing a hint of emotion, I tucked the pendant—my proof of identity—back into my sleeve and bowed."I got separated from my family. I heard the famous General Foster was stationed here, so I came to ask for shelter."Sympathy immediately flooded the woman's face. She took my hand and led me toward the tent, not forgetting to scold the guards along the way."This young lady has already suffered enough being apart from her family, and you still make fun of her?"The guards nodded and apologized over and over, swearing they'd never do it again.Liam must have trained them well. Otherwise, how could she wield that kind of authority so naturally when reprimanding them?I followed behind her, watching quietly.She looked young. Her clothes were far from cheap. But there was something fragile about her—something in her complexion that gave her

Chloe let out a soft cry and quickly told her son to fetch some bandages."Are you alright?"I opened my mouth, but no sound came out.Back then, after Liam suffered a defeat in battle, his reputation in the capital was completely destroyed. It was my father, the king, who trusted him—who overruled everyone else and saved his position.At the time, kneeling before the throne, Liam had said, clear as day, "As long as the realm is not at peace, I will not ask to resign."And now, while war still raged in other regions, he had already made his plans—abandoning his country, abandoning his wife, hiding at the frontier to live a carefree life with his new family.My body began to shake. I couldn't tell if it was from heartbreak… or rage.I pulled away from Chloe's hand and asked softly,"How do you know what he says is true? I mean—the honors and rewards from the court are no small thing. How can you be so sure he'd give all that up for you?"Chloe curved her lips into a calm smile.

I didn't listen any further. I lowered the curtain.When I turned around, a child stood before me.It was Liam's illegitimate son—Eli Foster.The hidden guard instinctively stepped in front of me. "Your Highness, be careful."Eli twisted the edge of his sleeve, standing there uneasily for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "I heard from one of the soldiers that my father did something to hurt you."I ignored him. Then, with a thud, he dropped to his knees."My father always said a man should stand tall and live with honor. He failed to do that. He deserves to be punished."I glanced at him, my tone cold. "He doesn't deserve punishment. He deserves to die."At the word "die", Eli's shoulders trembled.After a pause, he shut his eyes and continued, "I… I know he hurt you. My mother—my mother lied to you along with him. And especially… he delayed military orders. He used to say that as a soldier of the kingdom, a man should charge forward and bring honor to his country—that

Eli simply endured it all in silence. From the moment he entered the capital, he seemed to have accepted his identity as the "son of a disgraced criminal," never again saying things like "he's not my father". He took the insults without protest.On the day Liam was executed, he stood in the snow from dawn till dusk.A passing servant spotted him and barked at him to get back to work.He said nothing, just went quietly.Time passed quickly. Two years later, war broke out again in the north, and the army was short on men.When my father came to my residence and mentioned it, he sighed. As I was seeing him off, Eli suddenly dropped to his knees before him. He said he wanted to enlist.Before he could finish, a servant dragged him away. My father turned to me, remarking that the boy looked familiar.I did not hide the truth. I told him Eli was Liam's illegitimate son.My father fell silent for a long while."If he wishes to serve, there's no harm in letting him try. Keeping him he
