I Was Mistaken as a Great War Commander

After successfully persuading the protestors, Daniel suddenly felt lightheaded and dropped to one knee.

The blood loss had momentarily drained his strength.

As the crowd watched in alarm, Freyen rushed forward, quickly supporting him.

Summoning healing magic, she performed emergency first aid on the spot before raising her voice toward the gathered citizens.

“Someone—anyone—call for an ambulance! Now!”

Daniel, still conscious, attempted to refuse, insisting that his condition wasn’t serious enough to warrant an emergency response.

But Freyen—a trained medical officer—knew better and refused to listen.

She pleaded once more, and finally, a few among the crowd nodded and rushed to contact the nearest hospital.

Within minutes, the ambulance arrived, loading both Daniel and Freyen inside before swiftly departing.

At the hospital, Daniel underwent a thorough medical examination.

The doctor was visibly stunned.

Thanks to Freyen’s healing magic, the wound had already closed completely—an extraordinary feat that far surpassed typical healing spells.

“There’s no need for surgery,” the doctor admitted, still shaking his head in disbelief.
“But I’d advise keeping you under observation for the time being.”

Daniel accepted the recommendation and was temporarily admitted for monitoring.

The Next Day

“Colonel Daniel…”

Freyen knelt beside his hospital bed, gazing at him in silence.

His forehead was wrapped in bandages, a stark reminder of the previous day’s events.

Looking at him like this, her heart felt unbearably heavy.

“...To be honest, I don’t understand,” she murmured.
“Why do you push yourself this far? What could possibly be worth it?”

Slowly, she reached out, wrapping her fingers around Daniel’s hand.

“But… I believe in you, Colonel. I know you wouldn’t make the wrong choice. I may be too much of a fool to understand all the political intricacies you deal with, but…”

Her long eyelashes fluttered as her eyelids drooped slightly.

“Whatever battle you’re fighting, I only wish I could help… The same way you once saved me when I was on the verge of breaking.”

She remembered it clearly.

The day she first met Daniel.

Back in the military police detention center, when she was nothing more than a young cadet…

“Back then, I had given up on everything.”

She chuckled bitterly.
