"Your Majesty," Bill called with a slightly trembling voice but his eyes staring straight ahead without the slightest wavering. No one knew at this moment whether the war general was angry or just surprised or shocked. However, what was certain was that an uneasy expression could be seen on the man's face. Keannu Wellington stood up from his throne, "General Stewart, this is just a surprise for you." "A surprise? What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Bill replied. "You've just won two battles. Of course you need to be rewarded," Keannu said. Everyone began to whisper. "A gift? Does she mean a gift for General Stewart?" "But it seems General Stewart knows her." Steven stood nervously behind his master and was obviously afraid that something might happen. Bill stepped closer and said, "A gift? What do you mean by gift?" "General Stewart, you must have missed your wife here very much. You must be very happy to see her again." Bill remained silent, waiting for Keannu Wellington to co
"He reversed King Keannu's attack, General," Steven said as he swallowed nervously. Jody Gardner couldn't even comprehend what Bill had said. The man stared at the kneeling freak in confusion. Bill said again. "Your Honor, please punish me for making you act like this." Hearing Bill's words, Monica Wilhelm blinked and would have laughed again if her husband had not suddenly stood up. "General Stewart, I don't think we need to prolong this matter," Keannu said, who no longer knew how to reply to Bill's actions that he never thought of. "Your Majesty, but I am guilty. I deserve to be punished." Keannu said in exasperation, "What's wrong with you, you've been asking to be punished?" Bill was silent. Keannu, not wanting to lose his authority, said, "It's not your fault. Never mind, there's no need to discuss it anymore." "Does this mean you forgive me, Your Honor?" Bill asked again. Keannu turned his head in annoyance, "You ... how can you be forgiven when you're innocent?" Every
Bill replied, "You're ... just thinking too much." Cassandra wanted to ask again but Bill said, "Take a rest. I have to go to the practice building. I'll be back in the afternoon." Cassandra nodded and let her husband go. At the training hall, Bill found a number of bodyguards who were his men who had fought alongside him at that time. Andrew Reece said, "Are you about to start training, General?" "Yes," Bill replied. All the soldiers immediately stood at attention, looking refreshed and ready for the day's training. "Are you ready to train?" Bill asked. "Yes, General," all his men replied. Bill nodded, "Your enthusiasm makes me proud. But, this time I'm not going to ask you to train physically, but strategically." Some people looked a bit confused. One of them raised his hand, "Why not physical training, General?" Bill flashed a faint smile, "I know you're incredibly strong. But, you still need to take care of your physique. Therefore, in a few days you will be practicing
The subordinate immediately bowed and began to apologize with a frightened look on his face and a half trembling body, "Mercy, Your Majesty. Well, I will immediately look for the kingdoms that have problems with our kingdom." Keannu immediately grinned and now his fierce face was no longer visible like a moment ago. "Good, how much time do you need?" "Three days, Your Majesty." Keannu then nodded in agreement, "Alright, in three days I will ask you again. I hope you've found the kingdom I'm referring to." "Yes, Your Majesty." The men then retreated and left the king's palace. Keannu laughed with satisfaction because this time he might have a good feeling that he could make the war general lose his life. Actually, at first he didn't want to kill William Mackenzie and instead wanted to keep him by his side because surely his abilities were needed. Unfortunately, William Mackenzie showed such extraordinary abilities that he felt that the war general's abilities might make things
However, before Jody Gardner could think any further, his worries disappeared as he watched Keannu Wellington begin to ask the King's Counsel to speak. "To tell you the truth, I am deeply troubled by this," Larry began his important remarks. The man in his forties then made a face of sadness and confusion, "But. I have to say it." Andrew Reece raised his eyebrows and William Mackenzie, who was still using the identity of Bill Stewart, immediately had a bad feeling. "As we know, our kingdom borders the Fleshy Kingdom to the west. And according to reports, that kingdom often acts at will in that border area," Larry said. Andrew Reece sighed and turned to the general with a look of concern on his face. "So, we have to stop that from further disturbing the people there. Otherwise, the people will definitely be more oppressed and we might lose them. Because there are so many soldiers from the Fleshy Kingdom who are arbitrary towards our people. This, of course, must be resolved immedi
"In four days," Bill replied. "In four days? Are you sure, General?" Howard said, looking shocked by the war general's answer. Bill rolled his eyes and stared unflinchingly at his men, "Of course. Why is that?" "Because in my opinion, it's too soon. You ... how about your condition, General? Are you okay with this?" Howard asked with an anxious look. Bill flashed a smile. In the past, he didn't have people who could easily express what was going on inside his head. In his past as William Mackenzie, people were too afraid to comment on every decision he made. However, everything was the opposite now. Everyone who was worried about him did not keep it from him. Oh, he understood the difference between his former self and his current self. "I'm fine. What matters is you guys. After we discuss this matter of strategy, I will give you a rest for one day in total." Andrew Reece was surprised but Mark Donovan expressed his astonishment first, "General, what does it mean that we a
"Yes," Bill replied. Cassandra asked stammeringly, "Does grandma know about this?" "Yes, I revealed everything to her," Bill replied. Cassandra Wood began to lose her train of thought. She closed her eyes for a moment and then began to limp. However, Bill held his wife and the beautiful woman did not falter. "Why are you telling me this now? You're ...." Cassandra began to remember the treatment Bill received and how she treated her husband. She often had harsh words for Bill. In fact, he was not the useless man her family thought he was. Bill was a well-respected legend. But now another question popped into Cassandra's head, "Do the people in the palace know about this? I mean, General Mackenzie wears a mask." She pointed to the huge picture of Bill there. Bill shook his head, "The only ones who know my true identity are Andrew Reece, the king and the queen." This time Cassandra covered her mouth in shock, "The king knows about you?" "Of course. Cassie, I lived outside the
As soon as the arrow shot upwards, lightning seemed to strike even more fiercely. In fact, it caused such a tremendous flash that all the great archers took a few steps back. Some of them turned to their calm-looking War General, asking for an explanation. Andrew Reece represented them and immediately said, "General, it didn't work." "Who said it didn't work?" Bill retorted without turning around. "General ...." Andrew Reece wore a puzzled expression. Bill then took a few steps forward and looked at the front with a narrowed gaze. All of his men were increasingly unable to understand what the general was doing. Andrew Reece who had been so close to their general just didn't understand, what more those who had only known him for a while certainly couldn't understand. Because, if they thought about it, all of their general's actions were never as expected. They then could only remain silent while waiting for the general's actions again. "Do you know why I told them to shoot th
The young maid whose full name was Camelia Hart immediately lowered her head and replied timidly, "No, Your Majesty.""Yes, Your Majesty. I ... go first," Camelia said.The young girl turned to her companions, giving a code which was an invitation to leave the king's residence.The servants nodded and were about to follow Camelia. However, before they could take a step they heard Xylan's voice saying, "You stay here."They immediately turned around and with confused expressions stood silently. Meanwhile, the astonished Camelia Hart opened her mouth, "Your Majesty, I-""The one I ordered to meet Jim Chesnut was you, Camelia. As for them ... well, I still need them here," Xylan explained.Xylan's words seemed odd because he usually didn't want to be served without Camelia, but as if to reassure that there was nothing strange there Xylan hurriedly said, "I have something I want to do and I think they can help me. You ... just do the job f
Xylan Wellington did not immediately answer Ronald Wings' question. The viceroy looked thoughtful with furrowed brows."I ... can't confirm that yet," Xylan said, sounding hesitant.Ronald bit his lower lip. Uh, his words were actually the same as accusing one of the servants of betraying the king. Because, only the servant who was around at the time of his conversation with the king. However, all of the king's servants who were close to them at that time were women. Ronald felt that he had spoken wrongly.But, just as he was about to open his mouth to correct his words, Xylan said, "I will do something to check."Ronald widened his eyes, looking shocked. "Your Majesty, I beg your forgiveness. What I said earlier-""What you said could have happened. Well, I think I have to consider many things. So, it's not a big deal if I have to check on the maids," Xylan cut off Ronald's words.The twenty-seven-year-old soldier blinked, looking surprised that Xylan could read what he was thinkin
James shook his head, "I can't say right now."Reiner immediately let out a disappointed sigh. "You are ... making us curious.""Right, why can't you say it now?" Ben asked with a curious expression."Can't you give us just a little ... bright spot?" Shin tried to persuade hopefully.James chuckled softly, "Sorry, I really can't tell you guys right now, but ... I'm sure it won't be long before we know everything."Diego gave him an unsure look, "Will it be us or will it be you?"James flashed a bright smile, "Of course we all will.""I don't believe it," Alen said quickly.The war general blinked repeatedly and looked at each of his good friends with a puzzled look.He then pointed at himself with his right index finger and said, "You think I'm lying? Since when did I lie or break my promise?"Ben frowned and looked thoughtful. He looked up as if he was considering something.An exasperated James said, "Damn it! Do you have to think just to answer a simple question?"Diego held back a
Ben immediately grimaced. Meanwhile, Alen and Shin laughed crisply together. Then, Diego pretended to look up.However, Reiner boldly replied, "It's not about feeling sorry for you. I ... just think Riley is too much."James clucked his tongue and took the empty seat next to Diego who immediately turned to him with the same look."That's his right," James replied, sounding casual."Rights? What right do you mean, the right to put his best friend in trouble?" Reiner replied cluelessly.James shrugged, "I've been causing him trouble for the past few years as well."Shin widened his eyes, "Hey, what are you talking about? What trouble? He-""I left this palace and let Riley handle all the problems in this kingdom by herself. I mean ... I know you guys have always been there for him and so many great warriors have helped him, but ... yeah it's still hard for him," James explained after cutting off Shin's words that he hadn't finished yet.
Reiner frowned when he saw James' expression which he found very strange. Moreover, he also saw how James' lips suddenly formed a smile."What's wrong with you?" Reiner finally chose to ask.James once again smiled at Reiner, making Reiner wink.Reiner also got goosebumps instantly. "What's wrong with you? Don't tell me you're going crazy, James!"A sigh was immediately heard from James. He snorted in exasperation, "Damn it! I still have hopes of meeting Riley, even if it's not now. Why should I go crazy?"Hearing that, Reiner let out a sigh of relief. Because, James' nagging was one of the ways that showed that his good friend was really just fine. "Then, why are you being like that? Smiling horribly. Very strange, just so you know! Not like your usual self," Reiner explained, who still looked a bit horrified.James grinned again, revealing his row of clean teeth. He then said, "Oh, it's about Gary Davis. You ... just made me realize something, Rei.""Realized? About what?" Reiner a
Instead of answering James Gardner's question, Xylan Wellington said, "I ... I know what you're trying to say, General Gardner."Great, so what's the answer? Reiner thought, starting to feel lazy.James raised an eyebrow, "Yes, Your Majesty?"Xylan sighed softly, then closed his eyes for a few seconds. After regaining control of himself he replied, "It was my negligence, General Gardner.""Negligence? About what, Your Majesty?" James asked, sounding like he wanted a clearer answer."My sister. I ... know she has done wrong," Xylan said quietly.The viceroy bowed his head for a few seconds, while James remained silent, waiting for him to speak again.And without James pressing him, Xylan said, "I've actually noticed something strange about her. This ... even, before you set out to find my brother-in-law again, General Gardner."James' eyes widened instantly, but he still refrained from commenting.Xylan cleared his throat softly before continuing, "But ... even when I felt something wa
Hearing the new war general's question, Xylan Wellington laughed awkwardly.It was a laugh that didn't really come off, in fact, it sounded so strange that it made anyone who heard the viceroy's laughter confused.Reiner also looked at Xylan with a strange gaze while James did not even blink. The look in his eyes showed a demand.A demand for an explanation from Xylan regarding what he had just said.When he saw that urgent questioning look, Xylan finally stopped laughing. He cleared his throat softly before saying, "Hm ... I know from the main soldier.""The main soldier?" James repeated as he frowned.Xylan gulped and smiled clumsily, "The king's court soldiers, General Gardner."Oh, that wasn't really what James meant. He knew without even asking that the main soldiers were the palace soldiers specifically assigned to escort and guard him.There were usually five of them and one of them was required to stay by his side
James Gardner remained silent, giving no clear answer to Reiner's question.An immediate anxiety struck the ground war commander. Not wanting to be ignored by James, Reiner asked again, "James, tell me. Are you going to stay in the palace? You're not going to leave, right?"He looked anxiously at James who was staring out the car window. However, after he waited patiently enough he finally heard James answer, "I don't know."Reiner's heart was like being hit by a rock instantly."So ... are you leaving?" the man asked in a tone that sounded disappointed."It depends."Reiner, who was still staring at James, raised an eyebrow, looking confused, "Depends on what?"James sighed softly, "It depends on King Xylan's answer."Reiner was getting more and more confused. However, he did not have time to ask further as the car they were in had already entered the main gate of the Ans De Lou Royal palace. Even so, Reiner still did not want to give up so easily so he continued to stick to James e
At first Michelle Veren didn't understand what James Gardner was asking. However, when she saw the look on the general's face, she immediately knew he meant the time of the departure of the three people they were looking for.So, the Veren boutique owner replied, "About an hour ago, General Gardner."Hearing that answer, Reiner immediately went limp. But, it was inversely proportional to James who was even full of enthusiasm. This could be seen from James who even said, "Come on, Rei. Let's go after him."Reiner looked sadly at his best friend and replied, "It won't catch up, James. It's been too long."James did not even listen to Reiner's words and ordered some of his men, "Prepare the car, let's go after them!""James," Reiner called softly.James ignored the call and kept saying to his men who were still quietly waiting, "Find out through the CCTV which area they are currently in. They ... should be visible if they take the highway from behind this building."Reiner bit his own
