My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

Soon, the army surrounded the place. The three families' men were like lambs ready for the slaughter. They all shook in their boots.

This army exceeded their numbers by leaps and bounds.

If the soldiers at the front of the line shot a wave of bullets, the three families' forces would be eliminated! There was no need to even use the heavy machinery that was gathered.

"What's... going on...?"

The three patriarchs were flabbergasted. Confused, they became nervous.

They were practically the rulers of Hattan due to their families' influence. However,

in the face of such a formidable army, they were as weak as ants.

One of the armored cars drove closer, and a bunch of military officers got out.

"That is the leader of the army in Hattan, right?"

"I can't believe the general is here too!"

"Isn't that the Admiral of the Southern Navy?"

"I never thought I'd ever see the General of the Air Force in person!"

"Goodness, what's going on? Is the country really at war?"

The three families' forces were all flabbergasted and watched in a daze.

The military officers that had gotten out of the armored car were all very important people.

They were the top brass of Lovellia's national defenses.

These were legends!

They were people that they only saw in the news.

The three patriarchs were shaking. They had never seen such important people before.

Heck, even the people driving the armored car these officers came from were so much more important than them.

Such a gathering was unheard of.

What these military officers did next was even more shocking.

They walked to stand before Dustin, straightened, and saluted him.

"I am Heath Milton, the leader of the army in Hattan. My men have all gathered. Please give further instructions!"

"I am Cole Armstrong, the general of the army in Hattan. I am here as ordered with my men. Awaiting further instructions!"

"The Southern Navy has arrived at Hattan Port. Please give further instructions!"

"My fighter aircraft are all ready for battle. Please give further instructions!"

Each of the military officers bowed to Dustin and asked him for directions.

The three patriarchs and their men were stunned. Their brains practically stopped working.

These were very important people in Lovellia, with power that could skake the whole country. Yet, these people were being so respectful to Dustin and had brought their forces to await his instructions.

What a ludicrous thing!

"W-Who... Who is he really?" Edmond asked in a trembling voice. His legs were shaking.

The other two patriarchs were not doing any better.

They were all terrified!

They did not even know how powerful Dustin had to be to wield such might.

However, that was not all of it.

Beyond the gathered army, more government vehicles drove over. Some people got out of the cars.

"Those are... the top government officers of

Hattan and the southern

region," a sharp-eyed per Southere!

recognized them and

"The governor of Hattan is here as well!"

The three patriarchs stared in shock.

These were people that they would use all their power to suck up to.

"I apologize for arriving late to help,

sir!

All the officers also did the same.noveldrama

"Please forgive us!"

Dustin waved a hand to dismiss them, and they all got back up. "Please change into these, sir!" the governor said. Then, he sent someone to get a set of luxurious clothes.

The clothes that were brought were fit for royalty, and there was even a crown!

Some maidservants helped Dustin to put all of this on.

After that, it was undeniable that Dustin carried the air of nobility.

"Greetings, Your Grace, Duke of the East!" the officers said.

"Greetings, Your Grace, Duke of the East!" all the other soldiers said and fell to their knees.

Their voices were deafening.

The three patriarchs could not handle it any further. Their faces were as white as paper as they collapsed to the ground.
