Chapter 1426
"She's never flirted with any man except Kendrick!"
"She's never done a single thing to betray Kendrick! She's been loyal to him from the very start-not once has she
ever strayed!"
"So who the hell are you all to insult her? To curse her? To slander her?!"
Soren's voice shot up, practically echoing off the hillside. He was beyond furious
now.
"If we weren't living in a country of laws, I'd have put a bullet in you all myself!"
“Elizabeth doesn't deserve a spot in the Bradford family cemetery? Go ahead, drag out every Bradford ancestor
you've got. Besides Kendrick, which of them can hold a candle to her honor?"
"She's a hero-she sacrificed everything for her country. Which of your precious ancestors ever did something that
selfless?"
"Elizabeth joining your family's cemetery? That's your ancestors’ privilege, not hers!"
Soren's shout thundered through the foot of the hill, the echoes ringing for ages.
If there really were such things as ghosts, you could bet every last Bradford ancestor was hearing him loud and
clear.
Soren's pent-up rage and frustration burst out all at once. He'd said more in these few minutes than he had in
the last two days combined.
Ever since they'd left the border, racing back toward Jindale City, he'd barely spoken. Even last night, holding
vigil for Elizabeth at the old chapel, he hadn't said a word—the words had all been stuck inside him, rolling
around in his heart.
When he finally saw Tarquin and the others this morning, he'd barely greeted them.
But watching Allegra and her crowd stirring up trouble-insulting and slandering a woman as kind, upright, and
brave as Elizabeth—he just couldn't hold it in.
A pack of bitter, selfish women, sniveling and shouting at someone who'd given everything for others-it was

Allegra was stunned by Soren's outburst. She'd never seen him this angry, and she definitely hadn't expected
him to hold such a high position.
Commander of the military district? Just the title alone was intimidating.
Trying her best to keep her composure, Allegra snapped back, "Hero? Elizabeth, a hero of the people? Really?"
"Since when is a hero someone who just seduces men? What's she actually done for anyone? All I've ever seen
her do is chase after guys!"
"You can't just make her out to be skind of saint because you've got a fancy title!"
"This is just plain corruption! Isn't it illegal to abuse your power like this?"
"Everyone here can see what's happening-he's just making up stories about Elizabeth because he's got a thing
for her!"
"We know exactly what sort of woman Elizabeth is. If she's a hero, I'll personally have her nerased from the
Bradford family tree!"
The other women all nodded in agreement, chiming in, "We'll take our names off the family record, too!"
An Air Force officer, who'd been
silent until now, finally explodedet
"You're all talking nonsense! How dare you slander a national hero and a military commander like this!"
s
"The only reason you don't know what she's done is because sthings are classified—national security and all
that."
"But just because it can't be made public doesn't mean her sacrifices didn't happen!"
A grizzled Army officer stepped forward, eyes blazing. "Commander Tan risked his life every single day on the
border, and you dare slander him? Have you no shame, no. conscience?" s
"Spreading lies about the commander and a national hero-you're making yourselves the enemies of the whole
country!"
A Navy officer cut in, his voice like a whip, "Commander Tan is a hero who stood guard for us! You should be
grateful!"
