Thinking about it, Joseph couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with grief, and burst into sobs.
As the Duke, his crying prompted the fleeing nobles and aides to break down, and gradually, the sound of crying echoed throughout the ranks.
And it wasn't until his voice became hoarse from crying that Joseph suddenly raised his head, angrily looking at the dejected Count Misi on the other side:
"It's you! You fool! If it weren't for your stupidity, how could we have suffered such a great defeat?!"
Upon hearing Joseph's rebuke, the other nobles cast angry and resentful glances at Count Misi.
Feeling the bitter stares piercing his skin, Count Misi turned his eyes numbly.
He remained silent, only the hand supporting the broken sword trembled even more.
