Upon exiting the Royal Palace, Hudson's head was still buzzing.
It wasn't easy for an emerging noble, let alone for the leader among them. It was clear from the current situation that no one was willing to cooperate with him when things went south.
If he had known this was Crown Prince Caesar's scheme earlier, he wouldn't have bothered to get involved and make enemies.
Reason tells him that if he keeps getting caught up in such things, the reputation he earned on the battlefield would eventually fad away.
A battlefield can be a platform for success, but it can also be a place of failure.
Hudson was acutely aware that the primary reason he was being ostracized was not because he was an emerging noble, but because his performance in battle was too flawless.
If he were an old man in his hundreds, it might have been more acceptable. Everyone considering that he didn't have long to live, they might have been more than happy to glorify him.
