Salute To The General -
Chapter 2204
Before Catherine could snap out of it, two more instructors bellowed in rage and pounced at Colin in an attempt to take him down. However, none of them were even on par with Smith, so the moment they got close to Colin, they got sent flying backward as well.
At that point, the entourage from Eagleland had flown into a rage. They had never tasted humiliation so bitter in their long, long career before. The whole group was made out of elites among the elites, but all o them were taken out by Nathan's mere lackey.
Easton stepped up, and he looked dark. "Do you really think you are our match just because you beat a couple of our men? I shall be your match this time, you cur.
By then, Catherine had snapped out of her shock, and she stopped Easton, "Alright, that is enough."
Easton and his colleagues were aghast. These bustards have humiliated us, spat at us, and laughed at us. Why is the duchess letting it slide?
Easton quickly pleaded, "Duchess, these people are getting too arrogant for their own good. Let me teach them a lesson!"
Catherine snapped coldly, "Enough. Have we not been humiliated enough? Do you wish to add more to the stack?"
Catherine had found her bearing again. She knew that her men were no match for Nathan no matter how much they wanted to deny it. After all, she had seen the extent of his power back in Avenport, and it was unmatched.
Even if Easton could defeat Colin, Nathan would easily beat him. There was no point in that, so she thought the fight should end at that point. Besides, after what Nathan's lackey did, she could just tell the queen that they were savages who were impossible to reason with, and all would be well.
Even though Catherine knew that Easton and his men were no match for Nathan, they did not share her sentiment. They didn't attend the joint training during the July Festival, nor had they ever seen Nathan showing his power before. Thanks to that, they would never admit defeat until they fought Nathan.
However, they could do nothing about it. As their duchess had commanded them to stop, they had no reason to fight, nor would they disobey her.
Despite that, it didn't stop Easton and his men to glare at Nathan and Colin. They still refused to admit defeat.
Eyeing the circumstance, Simeon stepped up to calm everyone down. "Ms. Camden is right. We're both soldiers here, so don't take this spar to heart. It's just a little fun, right? Let's go, everyone. I've asked my men to prepare a room for us. We can feast there."
Catherine nodded. "Lead the way please, Mr. Carlton," she told Simeon.
It didn't take long for Simeon and his men to leave with Catherine and her underlings.
Ava smiled. "That duchess is a lot smarter than her men. She knows none of them can stand up against Colin, so she stops the sparring right away."
Colin laughed. "Well, she has seen the general in action before. That's why she knows the general will wipe the floor with them if things got serious. That's the real reason she stopped the sparring session." Ava nodded. "But her men don't seem to be pleased with the decision, especially the guy called Easton."
Colin smiled at her. "So what? It doesn't change the fact that he still has to accept the decision and move on. If he tries to come at me, I'll knock some sense into his thick head."
Nathan, Penny, Kylie, and Ava laughed in delight.
The room that Simeon prepared was resplendent. At that very moment, he and his men were serving Catherine and her team.
Eurasia's best dishes kept being served up, and he also gave them the best wine of the nation.
Simeon was a master in socializing, and he was the life of every party he went to. Thanks to his skills, he managed to hype the scene up and lifted everyone's spirits. At the very least, Catherine and her team weren't sulking anymore. They were even starting to drink.
A while later, Catherine realized that the army's general was gone. That person was none other than Easton.
A frown dotted her forehead, and she asked the people around her, "Where's Easton? Where's our Angel of War?"
However, nobody had the answer to that. They were as confused as she was as well.
There was only one guy who answered,
"He said he was going out for a while. He probably has something he needs to settle."
Catherine nodded at the man and put the whole affair behind her. However, unbeknownst to the duchess, Easton had taken a few men with him to fight Nathan.
