Chapter 1147: Switching One’s Allegiance

Chapter 1147: Switching One’s Allegiance"You don't have to understand." Feng Ao Kuai knew that Nan Luo was feeling conflicted. He thought for a moment then added, "You just have to know that not everyone feels a sense of belonging with their own kingdom."

Some people care.

Some people didn't care.

And those who didn't care wouldn't feel anything much even if he had to move from this kingdom to another kingdom. If other kingdom could offer him more than what his kingdom could offer, he would not mind switching his allegiance.

This thing happened a lot for the past century.

Because the six kingdoms were all basically kingdoms with similar culture, language, and even had history of being one state centuries ago. But because of how history developed, they eventually split.

Some people didn't think that these kingdoms were any different.

But there were people who couldn't think that way.

"As long as you can live, what would ordinary people think about the people at the highest seat? They will not care and will simply live their lives without caring for such thing." Feng Ao Kuai patted Nan Luo's shoulder. "Let's go, we didn't have to stay here and watch them."

"Mhm."

Nan Luo knew that many ordinary people usually didn't care that much. What they cared was whether they could still eat and live well.

If he was not part of Nan Family, he might want to live that kind of life.

He didn't need to worry about anything but whether he could eat or not and how tomorrow would be.

But he couldn't.

As the grandson of Great General Nan and also a young commander himself, he had responsibility towards his family, his men, and Fei Yang Kingdom. People who were given more will be asked to do more in accordance to their capabilities.

That was why Nan Luo wouldn't betray Fei Yang Kingdom.

As long as the kingdom didn't force him to the death's end, Nan Luo will never even think of that possibility. He wanted to live but not the kind of life where he had to bear with the shame of betraying his kingdom.

Not far from Nan Luo, Nan Hua was watching everything calmly.

But General Duan stayed calm.

He was not a young and impulsive man. Since he had made this decision, it was clear that he also knew the consequences and the misery that Duan Family will experience.

Many other generals had also experienced such thing.

After all, switching one's allegiance had occurred from time to time because of their kingdoms' special circumstances in this era.

"General Duan, Young Commander Duan is here."

General Duan didn't turn around.

He could hear his son walking in his direction, but he didn't want to see this first son of his at all. This first son of his had disappointed him so much that he didn't know what else should he say.

"Father! Why did you do that? The entire Wei Da Kingdom will now hate us!" Duan Shang Yi shouted angrily.

When he came out of the prison, he understood very well that his father had already given up. It was also because of his realization that he was filled with hatred and indignation.

He wanted to live.

But he didn't want to be the traitor of Wei Da Kingdom!

There must be some other way to settle this!

General Duan didn't answer his first son's accusation. His adjutant and steward stood at the side respectfully and lowered their head, not wanting to participate in this quarrel between family members.

"Duan Family is not like that! Why don't you do anything? Do you want to watch your sons, daughters, and grandchildren suffered from this humiliation! Father! Why don't you answer me!" Duan Shang Yi was almost hysterical.

General Duan sighed.

"When you first agreed to help Young Commander Kui, have you ever thought that he's only using you?"

Duan Shang Yi's voice stopped.

He looked at his father in disbelief and opened his mouth then closed it again. For some reason, he had the feeling that his father knew about his agreement with Young Commander Kui and everything.
