Keannu Wellington's eyes gave a look of disbelief. He even stared in bewilderment at the best general the Ans De Lou Kingdom had ever had and was even adored by all the people of Ans De Lou and trusted by his father. "General Mackenzie, of course this is very pertinent. Don't you think we can use that to destabilise the kingdom, General?" Keannu asked, suddenly filled with so much fervour that Bill could feel his excitement. Bill's brow furrowed in confusion, "You mean you intend to use this scandal to threaten or frame King Maldiva, Your Majesty? Is it really like that?" Keannu was happy that Bill finally understood his brilliant idea. "Exactly. We can use that to strike a deal with them. I'm sure they'll be unlikely to attack if they know we've got evidence of that Kingsley scandal." Keannu chuckled at the thought of that haughty king surrendering to him. It must feel so good to see your enemy bow before you, helpless. His eyes wandered far and wide, as if the King of Maldiv
"Monica, you know how great he is right?" Keannu replied even more annoyed. "Well, no matter how great he is, if you can't control him, it's useless, right?" Monica said. Keannu immediately made a move, ordering all his bodyguards and servants to get out of the way. Gosh, his mood really got worse after he heard his wife's words. Monica let out a long sigh, the young queen looked sorry for her husband. "Then, what exactly did he do?" "He just criticised my way of winning." "What kind of way?" Monica asked. Keannu was very open with his wife. He told his queen everything. There was not a single secret he hid from Monica Wilhelm. So, this time he didn't hesitate at all when he told her, "I found out an interesting piece of information about the crown prince of the Maldiva Kingdom and it's a scandal. I intend to use this to threaten the King of Maldiva." Monica nodded, easily understanding the story quickly. "Oh, I see and that arrogant general disagrees? Is that what he criticiz
"Sorry, Your Majesty. Forgive me if I have been presumptuous. But, this is my first time meeting you," Bill said. Monica frowned, a little unsure. There was no way she had the wrong person. This person standing not far from her was definitely that person. The person she had met a few years ago. Uh, it was so long ago, but the old incident was a common occurrence and she easily forgot about it. So, she was sure she could not have recognized the wrong person. In fact, the person's face had not changed. There was no significant change at all. "No, no. You're wrong, we've met before. It was at ....." The woman could not continue and soon realised she was not alone with Bill. So many bodyguards and servants were around them. If she made a wrong move, tomorrow's unpleasant gossip could spread throughout the palace. Her good reputation could be damaged and she did not want that to happen. For Monica Wilhelm, her position and reputation in front of the public was certainly the most impo
"There's something I need to discuss with him," Bill replied, putting an end to any questions Andrew might have asked. Andrew didn't dare ask any more questions after seeing the general's face looking so unkind. Bill once again checked all the equipment and afterwards made some important notes. The next morning, exactly two days before they were to attack the kingdom of Maldiva, Bill met the war general after getting the permission obtained with Andrew's help. "I didn't realize that Andrew Reece had turned into your loyal servant," Jody quipped as Bill entered his private residence. Bill was being satirised and he replied casually, "Ever since I entered this palace, Andrew Reece has been the one who has helped me the most in various ways." "Hm, of course I can see that." Jody's gaze looked unfriendly but since he and his war advisor had to work together this time then he tried to suppress his ego for the time being. "So, what did you have to say this morning?" Jody asked. "Ab
Keannu unburdenedly replied, "Of course. I've thought about what the future holds." "Are you sure?" Monica asked, clearly doubtful of her husband's words. "You doubt my word, darling?" A smile appeared on the queen's lips, "I don't know if this is a doubt or not. But one thing is for sure, I know you somehow." Keannu Wellington replied with a small chuckle but it was enough to prove that what was inside Monica's head was a little bit of the truth. "You must have thought of getting rid of one of them, right?" Monica guessed. Keannu Wellington stopped his laughter and looked at his wife intently, before replying with another chuckle that now sounded even more unpleasant to hear. The queen did not return the laughter and only stared at her husband curiously so the young king immediately replied, "You are indeed very suitable to be my wife, my queen." Monica bit her lower lip and looked away, "Isn't the reason you married me because I can understand your thoughts? I'm famous for g
Cassandra widened her eyes, "Grandpa." Arthur walked over and intended to touch Cassandra's hand, but the woman firmly jerked the bodyguard's hand away. Cassandra was too shocked at what was happening. She still found it hard to believe that her grandfather would do such a thing to her, his biological granddaughter. "Cassie. Obey or-" "Or what, Grandpa? Marry me off to another man?" Cassandra interrupted as she took a few steps back. She shook her head, looking so hurt. "Don't be stubborn, Cassie!" Christopher snapped. "Arthur, what are you waiting for?" George said, ordering his grandfather's men back. Cassandra gave her brother a disappointed look and turned her head back to her grandfather, "Why, Grandpa? What did I do wrong?" "Don't listen to her, Grandpa! Just get over there!" Shirley cut in quickly, not wanting to give her sister a chance to avoid their grandfather's punishment. Cassandra really didn't understand. These three people near her were her family. They shared
Bill's words made Shirley tremble, somehow they managed to make her so scared. Indeed, since the man disappeared and then reappeared in the family Bill's aura looked very much different. However, only once did she feel the fear that broke her heart. But that didn't happen to Christopher Wood who had a very hard heart and a pretty bad temper. Rather than feeling fear, the man was so angry that he felt humiliated to have been threatened by his useless grandson-in-law. The old man snarled angrily, "Who do you think you are to threaten your grandfather-in-law, you brat?" "You're so arrogant to even have a job!" Christopher added, seemingly unable to control his anger at all. The veins in his neck were even visible as he shouted angrily. However, Bill didn't have time to reply because he was more busy taking his wife to the hospital. Luckily for Bill, Andrew wasn't too far from the Wood family home. The young man who was currently wearing his sunglasses due to the intense heat of
A strange smile immediately appeared on the lips of the handsome young king. A face that made Monica Wilhelm, who initially had no intention of marrying someone she didn't like, agree to accept his proposal. However, this time Monica looked so astonished by her husband's attitude which she thought was becoming more and more. She was not unaware of her husband's true nature who was not a king with a cool personality, but she still found it difficult to accept the bad side of her husband on this one. Slowly, Keannu turned that strange smile into a lopsided grin that was clearly meant to be insulting. The one being insulted was, of course, William Mackenzie whom the two were discussing. "He just lives in his wife's family. A burden to that family. How disgusting." Keannu paused with a small laugh before resuming his words. "Can you imagine that? The most powerful war general ever in the Ans De Lou Kingdom is in fact considered a loser in his wife's extended family," Keannu taunted
