"So, you can give us time to mourn our family members, right? You have not forgotten that Keannu Wellington was not only the king of this country, but he was the head of our family. He is my husband, the father of my two children and a grandfather to my grandson," Monica said in a flat but firm tone.

The queen's words apparently succeeded in making the palace officials look at each other and finally fell silent.

Some of them seemed to take a few steps back as if they really didn't want to disturb members of the royal family anymore.

James Gardner himself smiled to see the palace officials, some of whom were important ministers, not moving in front of the queen.

James could not help but be impressed by the queen's ability to make people obey her orders. It was because according to James it was very rare.

Before he gave up his post as a deputy general of war, he had met so many queens from various kingdoms around the world. However, not many queens had authority.

    James Gardner, who did not want to look happy, replied briefly, "You are right, Your Majesty."Xylan Wellington nodded back and was silent for a moment.Seeing Xylan's eyes that still showed anxiety, James immediately spoke, "Don't worry about anything, Your Majesty. Everything will definitely be under control."Xylan leered and then smiled faintly, "Of course. I have you by my side, so ... what am I worried about?"James almost fell over when he heard that.Oh, he wasn't used to hearing compliments that sounded so sincere from others so he didn't know how to respond.Meanwhile, Xylan who felt that his business was done in the training building turned around and looked like he was about to leave. James quickly walked over to him and asked, "Are you ... going back to your palace, Your Majesty?""No, General Gardner."James stared with a questioning gaze.Xylan flashed a mysterious smile. But he explained anyway, "I'm going to pay a visit to some ministers' homes."The answer instantly

    Xylan did not reply and instead stared back at the young war general blankly.Oh, he was honestly so reluctant to share his deepest emotions. He exhaled slowly to neutralize his racing heart.However, when she remembered that James Gardner was the only one she could truly trust, she decided to say, "What answer did you expect, General Gardner? Of course I'm upset."James responded quickly, "I mean ... after all you do trust-""I know what you're trying to say. But … I don't think it matters anymore. He's still a traitor," Xylan cut James off impatiently.James fell silent.Instead of bringing it up again, Xylan said, "So, what now? Do you have a way to stop him?""Can ... we catch him now?" Xylan continued in a serious tone.It was James' turn to sigh softly and carefully began to explain, "We can't catch him now, Your Majesty."Before Xylan could raise his objections, James had already explained everything so that the viceroy would not get suspicious.How relieved James Gardner was w

  • The Strongest God of War   136. An Unexpected Thing

    Of course, the words of Xylan Wellington, the viceroy of Ans De Lou Kingdom, hit James Gardner so hard that the gallant war general's chest was so tight that he stopped breathing for a moment. His eyes were also bulging in shock, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. Xylan saw that shocked expression and immediately said, "You ... don't need to be that shocked, General Gardner."James Gardner gulped. He already knew that Gary was a member of the royal family too? Then, how did he know? Did someone tell him? But, who? James thought to himself, looking so agitated.Ah, he hadn't anticipated that problem at all. This was beyond his plans. He never once imagined Xylan would know so soon."General Gardner, are you going to keep quiet?" Xylan asked in annoyance at not getting a response.Meanwhile, Benedict Arkitson, the other person who was there but did not dare to make any noise other than greeting the viceroy, looked eager to leave the room. He really didn't want to be

    Ashton Rowles instantly wore a puzzled expression. In a tone that sounded disappointed he said, "Prime Minister, did you not listen properly to all my stories earlier?"Philip Crawford replied with an exasperated look, "Young Man, do you think I've gone deaf?"Ashton chuckled softly, "Then how can you still question the certainty of war?"Philip shook his head, "Of course I have to."Ashton frowned, increasingly clueless. Is it really me who can't understand him? Or is he the one thinking out of the box? Ashton thought to himself.Seeing the strangeness on the young man's face, Philip sighed wearily, "Rowles, Prince Gary's side did prepare everything, including influencing the palace officials and soldiers to side with him. His side does want the war to happen. However, it was different on King Xylan's side."Ashton nodded his head, this time agreeing with Philip's statement, "That's because King Xylan didn't realize what was going on. General Gardner didn't tell him. But, his actio

    Upon hearing the words of Old Crawford, aka the prime minister who had held that important position for decades, Ashton Rowles instantly felt a great admiration for the old man.He even smiled stupidly and looked at Philip Crawford with a gaze full of admiration, to the point that Philip snorted in exasperation, "Hey, young man. I did you a favor, aren't you going to say anything to me?"Ashton instantly came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Oh, Prime Minister Crawford. Now I know why King Keannu never revoked your position. You ... are indeed extraordinary!"Philip raised his right eyebrow, "Young man, I don't need cheap praise from you.""If you don't intend to say anything to me, then leave my residence at once!" Philip chided, who then chose to sit on one of his cushioned chairs.Ashton winked then immediately said, "I'll say it, Prime Minister."He smiled weakly, then quickly walked towards the doorway and proceeded to peek at the outside area from the window.Philip, who was o

    "Come on, tell me! What are you really up to?" the Third Minister urged.The Fifth Minister did not immediately respond to the serious accusations against him and instead replied with a smile before saying, "Oh my! What on earth can I do? You ... just think too much."The Third Minister clucked his tongue, "Overthinking? You said it yourself as if questioning Prince Gary's actions."The First Minister gave his friend a serious look, "Never mind, let's put it this way. If you really don't want to join the ranks of Prince Gary's supporters, you can leave."The First Minister's words shocked all his friends, even the Second Minister immediately said, "What do you mean? He can't just leave.""Why would he? If he doesn't want to be here, why force him to?" the First Minister replied.The Second Minister shook his head, "What are you, a moron? He already knows Prince Gary's entire plan."The First Minister's eyes widened instantly and he tu
