Jacob immediately shrugged and answered indifferently as if he didn't really care about the reason Jason wanted to know, "I don't know."Jason glared in surprise but he tried to fix his facial expression. He exhaled slowly in order to get rid of the annoyance that had appeared without being able to hold it in."You don't know? How could you?" Jason asked back with his right eyebrow raised, clearly in disbelief.She must be hiding something. A secret, perhaps. Jason thought as he looked at his friend with a suspicious gaze that he didn't try to cover up.Seen with that strange look, it was Jacob's turn to stare back at him with an annoyed look, "Hey, I really don't know. I was just ordered by Commander Arkitson to tighten the security of the king's palace."Jason squinted, still looking unsure of Jacob's answer.That look was of course interpreted by Jacob as a look as if to say 'I don't believe'.Jacob rolled his eyes lazily, "If you don't believe me ... you can ask the soldiers who a
Hearing the request of the Royal war general Ans De Lou who was also the son-in-law of the late king, Jason Hoult swallowed nervously. His forehead wrinkled, indicating that he was quite confused.He did not make a sound after that."Jason," Riley called out to him in a worried tone.Jason blinked his eyes, then sighed softly.Riley sighed softly and said quickly, "You ... can you do it?"Jason bit his lip but still replied, "It's hard, but ... don't I have no other choice, General Mackenzie?"The tips of Riley's lips lifted up to form a knotty smile."I thank you," the man said, who was still speaking while standing.Jason immediately replied, "Uh, don't say that yet! I haven't done it yet.""I know, but still ... I have to thank you. You ... really helped me a lot. Without you ... I ...." Riley paused for a moment and turned his gaze around, looking at the simple house he shared with his wife and son.She smiled once more before continuing, "I wouldn't have been able to stay with my
Instead of answering his wife's question, Riley said, "I guess ... I'll sleep with Kharel tonight."Hearing Riley's words that were not at all what she expected, Rowena could only sigh in frustration. Of course she could never force Riley to do even the slightest thing. The young man was a firm leader, obviously no one would be able to influence his decisions, not even him, the wife he loved.With a heart filled with disappointment, Rowena gave up that night and did not speak of it again. True to what Riley had said as she enjoyed dinner with him, her husband was actually sleeping in their son's bedroom that night."Well, if you need anything, just wake me up!" Rowena said after she kissed her dear husband on the cheek. Riley looked at his son fondly and lay down next to him. But, that didn't last until morning. Because, when midnight came, Riley got up from the bed and walked with slow steps to the backyard after being sure that his wife was also asleep in their room. Once he wa
The voices of the three young soldiers instantly made the two people who were talking look at each other.However, as they had no time to respond to the three soldiers, they quickly returned to their respective tasks. The messenger re-entered the room that housed the important meeting, while the receiver had already made his way to the king's residence.Meanwhile, the three soldiers who seemed to have not recovered from their shock finally chose to open their mouths."Ben replaces Reiner," Shin said."Ground War Commander," Diego said quietly.Alen winked before responding, "I can't believe it."Shin immediately shot his best friend a half glare.Alen quickly added, "Hey, it's not that I don't see Ben's abilities as extraordinary, but ... it's just that this is too shocking.""Yeah, I mean ... oh, no. I don't dislike it either, but ... uh, never mind. I don't know what to say," Diego said.Shin sighed softly and also frowned, looking thoughtful. However, that didn't last long as he t
Oh, James Gardner had to admit that he was not a very good wordsmith or at least he was self-aware that his wordsmithing skills were very poor indeed. Really, he wasn't playing games as the two war commanders accused him of. He was just having trouble saying something important.He could only sigh softly under Thyme and Josh's exasperated eyes. Surprisingly, he was not offended at all because he realized his shortcomings.He also didn't mind if anyone commented on his pathetic way of communicating.However, he clearly didn't have much time to think about how to improve his speech so he quickly turned to look at Ben who seemed to be waiting for his explanation and opened his mouth, "I'm not talking nonsense."Before his words could be interrupted or refuted by his interlocutor, James hurriedly said again, "Reiner is out of place for the reasons I explained earlier. We need a ground war commander to replace him during the war."Ben moistened his lips, suddenly becoming extremely nervou
When James Gardner heard the full name of one of his best friends mentioned he immediately turned to commander Thyme Sylis, giving him a complicated look that Thyme himself clearly couldn't understand. The young man still didn't open his mouth, prompting Josh Cleve, whose patience was wearing thin, to say, "Oh, don't think too much! We don't have enough time.""Decide quickly! Choose whoever you think is suitable, I'm sure you can't go wrong," Thyme added.James nodded in understanding, "To be honest, either Jason or Ben ... they both have good abilities. But ... I-""Why are you suddenly being so hesitant? It's not like you're James Gardner," Thyme cut in quickly.That also made Josh frown and immediately thought seriously, "Come on! Even if you end up choosing Benedict Arkitson, one of your best friends, no one will question your decision."It was true. James Gardner always made decisions after careful thought. He never made a decision lightly.However, the case of changing the war
