LOGINAs if unwilling to let Josh Grey evade the subject, Nathan spoke again."A wise king who is loved by his people should remain on the throne.""You don't know anything, so you'd better keep your mouth shut!" Josh shot back sharply.Nathan was about to respond, but Josh cut him off first."Your real reason for entering my kingdom is to find Aresh Vian. I ... will help you find him today."After saying that, Josh remained silent for the rest of the journey until they arrived at a residence within the royal palace.The residence was reserved for guests from foreign kingdoms."Have a good rest. I'll let you know as soon as my men find the trail of the miracle doctor you're so eager to meet," Josh said coldly.Nathan simply replied, "Thank you."Josh gave no response and walked away with his men.After they had left, Dilion, who had quietly observed everything until then, finally spoke."It doesn't seem like he'll change his mind, General. He's still going to help that corrupt Prime Ministe
Dilion couldn't help but feel a little regretful for telling Nathaniel Lee about Josh Grey's situation.His commanding general had never been the type to stand by and watch injustice unfold before his eyes.Moreover, the matter closely resembled something Nathan himself had once experienced. Dilion was certain that Nathan would feel compelled to help the Ashwin Kingdom's war general.As a result, Dilion had no choice but to agree to help his general meet the man as soon as possible so they could return their focus to their primary mission—finding Aresh Vian."Very well, General. I'll find a way as soon as possible," Dilion said.Afterward, Nathan studied several documents about the kingdom and became even more convinced that he needed to meet Josh Grey without delay.The co-pilot informed them that they would be landing shortly, and Nathan began making preparations.Although all five of them had been wearing combat gear during the flight, they changed into ordinary clothes as soon as
Dilion explained, “There’s a serious problem unfolding in the Kingdom of Ashwin, General.”Nathan raised an eyebrow and immediately asked, “A problem? What kind of problem?”Ah, Nathan couldn't help feeling a little annoyed with himself for not gathering enough information about the Kingdom of Ashwin.After all, he was about to travel to a kingdom he had never visited before. He should have been much more cautious.Even though he knew Ashwin wasn't a powerful kingdom like the Kingdom of Veldera, he still thought he had been careless.“Well ... they're dealing with an internal conflict. The King of Ashwin is currently at odds with the Prime Minister. According to the rumors, the Prime Minister wants the King to abdicate because he believes His Majesty has failed to make the kingdom prosper.”Nathan looked at his subordinate with both surprise and curiosity.“And the King refuses to step down?”Dilion shook his head.“On the contrary, the King wants to abdicate as soon as possible and l
Extra Part 7“So, what are you going to do, Nathan?” Jefry asked, a deep frown clearly etched across his face.Nathan let out a quiet sigh. “Of course, I have to find him before anyone else does.”“You're going to leave and search for him?”Nathan nodded and called one of his subordinates over. He gave the man several orders and instructed him to carry them out immediately.Still shocked by Nathan's decision, Jefry asked again, “Are you sure you're going? Isn't—”“I can't just sit here waiting for news, Jeff. I'll be gone for one week. If I still can't find him after a week, I'll come straight back,” Nathan interrupted without the slightest hint of hesitation.Jefry Milton desperately wanted to stop his friend from leaving. However, he knew Nathan was not someone who changed his mind easily. In the end, he abandoned the idea and chose to support him instead.“In that case, don't forget to let me know whenever you find a lead.”Nathan nodded once more.Still unable to put his mind at e
The order continued to echo in Nathan's ears even after he and Jefry left Aldric's study.They walked through the long palace corridors without saying much. Only when they reached the front courtyard did Jefry finally turn to him.“So?”Nathan let out a long sigh.“I haven't given him my answer yet.”“But you will accept.”Nathan glanced at his old friend.“I have a wife now. And a son who is only a few months old.”“And you also have a king who is asking for your help, Nathan. What are you going to do?” Jefry asked.Nathan remained silent.Jefry simply sighed.That night, Nathan told Angela everything.They were in their bedroom. George, their tiny son, was fast asleep in his cradle.Nathan sat on the edge of the bed while Angela listened quietly.“So the king wants to find that doctor for Prince Liam?” Angela asked.Nathan nodded.“His name is Aresh Vian.”“And you may have to go look for him?”“Yes.”Angela fell silent for a moment.Nathan had expected his wife to try to stop him.
“I am serious, Your Majesty.”“But he ... he already put you through ....”The room fell silent once again.The afternoon sunlight streamed through the study window, making the atmosphere feel even calmer.Nathan looked at the two men before him and continued,“I have not forgotten what happened in the past. But he still deserves the chance to regain his sanity.”His gaze lowered slightly.Aldric and Jefry listened quietly.Those words immediately left Aldric speechless.Seeing the king's expression, Nathan smiled faintly.“And I don't want to see Your Majesty burdened with regret for allowing Prince Liam's condition to remain as it is.”For a few moments, no one spoke.Then Aldric finally nodded slowly.“Thank you, General.”Nathan simply returned a small smile.Three days later, a secret operation was set in motion.Under Aldric's orders, Jefry sent letters to kingdoms throughout the continent.The letters were addressed to royal physicians, renowned scholars, herbalists, and expert
The two war commanders opened the message near the southern palace garden after making sure that not a single soldier had followed them.After reading it, Zach crumpled the paper in his hand.“He wants me to meet him.”“Then go meet him. But don't tell anyone yet. When you go, act as though you're
Liam smiled faintly, briefly glancing at Nathan's new attendant before speaking.“General Lee, I know you've only just returned, but ... I need to ask you to handle a certain matter.”Without showing the slightest sign of irritation or anger, Nathan replied,“That's not a problem, Your Majesty. It

Zach Drey nodded.“Yes. What's the condition?”Steven Breece looked at his friend with a serious expression.“Just one. If I win, you ... are not allowed to die.”Zach's eyelashes trembled, and for a few moments, he was unable to say a word.Finally, Steven spoke again.“Do you agree or not?”Zach
