After I was poisoned and collapsed, Edwin was like a mad man, vowing to catch the perpetrator. He even left the palace in search of the poison's source and didn't return for a while.
Kaleb needed not my death, but the absence of the Commander-in-Chief. While Edwin was out of his mind with rage, Julitan and Eric were appointed as new commanders.
Edwin didn't return until the day the Imperial Army was dispatched for the Brundel levee project, and by then, I had already assigned five thousand imperial troops to the two new commanders.
When Edwin finally returned, the two new commanders and the Imperial Army had already headed down east.
When I was pondering over who to send before the dispatch of the imperial troops, Kaleb was the one who had brought me the list of commanders.
I barely remembered since it was so long ago, but those two were the only commanders who hadn't been assigned after being commissioned, so I chose them eventually.
