Forgotten Legend Of The Bloodied Flower - Chapter 1972

Chapter 1972 Seeds of Hatred

General Ruan's Adjutant froze after hearing that.

He lowered his head and could only ask a few more questions before moving to the other guards. In order to confirm the authenticity of the matter, he could only ask several guards who were around. Since these people were able to go outside, they might be able to know some things. Some of them said the same thing as the first person he asked and the few others didn't know about it. They said that they only knew that they were ordered to kill these 'bandits' who dared to attack Princess Luo and threaten her safety.

Not everyone knew the details.

But even without the specific details, it was not impossible to guess what had happened that day. Young Commander Ruan died.

She died because she was the bait picked by the Crown Prince in order to protect Princess Luo. Ah...

While it was their duty to protect the royal family, but hearing his master's daughter purposely picked to be the bait and ended up dying still caused pain in his heart. So many people had died on the frontline because of various reasons.

Now, this was one of the few that he felt rather ridiculous. Just because their status was higher, the others had to lay down their lives to save theirs?

If it was before, then General Ruan's Adjutant wouldn't think too much. But at this time, there were already so many people who died in front of his eyes. So many people sacrificed and at the end, they were all nothing but people who could be discarded at will.

It was saddening. When General Ruan's Adjutant delivered the news to General Ruan, he was trembling. Because of sadness.

Because of fear.

And because of anger.

Emotions mixed together as General Ruan's Adjutant told the news to General Ruan, who listened silently. No emotion was present in General Ruan's face that looked stoic and calm.

"You may leave," General Ruan said.

"Yes, General." General Ruan's Adjutant looked back at General Ruan for the last time, but he still couldn't see anything from General Ruan's face. The general's face remained expressionless as if he didn't feel anything.

The only daughter and the only family member he had left.

She wanted to follow him and even though General Ruan didn't want to, he wanted to make her happy. So he gave her requirement to follow and made sure that she would be assigned in his army.

That way, he could watch over her and watched her growth.

Even if it was not easy, but he was happy to be able to see her shine on the battlefield.

It was just that, her talent was not easily acknowledged. In this era where women's position was low, it was really hard for them to promote her.

General Ruan was patient.

He had to be in the high position, high enough to protect his daughter. So even if it was hard, he still tried his best to continue staying in the military and achieved merits from time to time.

This way, he would not be forced to retire early and could still watch his daughter.

But she was slowly spreading her own wings.

Young Commander Ruan was no longer only his daughter but also a commander trusted by her army. She was able to lead them and brought them higher up. He was proud of her.

So slowly but surely, General Ruan tried his best to let her do what she wanted by herself. If she needed help, he would be there. But he knew very well that this would not be able to last forever.

Because of this, he had tried to find a good man for her to marry.

Young Commander Ruan was not too happy about it, but she still listened to her father's arrangement. And now...

It was all for nothing.

He knew very well that casualties will definitely happen on the battlefield. But how could a parent not wish that this casualties were not their children? How much would they wish that the lucky one to survive will be their children?
