Looking back, it was always that one moment of insolence. It was that one moment of defiance that had led to this exact moment.
The Commander, proud and battle-hardened after everything he had faced in his life, had dared to criticise the Supreme in front of everyone in the war Council. The room had gone deathly quiet back then, not because people wanted to see something happen, but because they did not have anything to say against the Commander's words.
The Supreme might be powerful, but he was not as experienced as them. This was war, something he had never experienced before. He might be somewhat smart, but he had to listen at this time instead of speaking too much.
