Offended at being accused of fear, one of them said, "Fear? Gosh, what are we afraid of?"Alen kept smiling, "Alright, then just wait for the next selection."However, the young man named Michael Hickson who seemed to be the leader of the group of youngsters said, "Is there any guarantee that you won't cheat?""Cheating? How can it be called cheating when no one wants me here?" James said without turning around.Riley grimaced.James casually continued, "Trust me! Almost everyone here wants to send me home. Maybe, if possible, they're the ones cheating to get rid of me, not me."Michael couldn't reply.Meanwhile, his other friend was still saying, "Oh, it could be that your father still has people who are loyal to him. So, that person is helping you here."Oh, James couldn't take it anymore. Alen also didn't want to hold James back anymore because he knew James had the right to defend himself. "What did you say? My father's confidant?" James repeated the question as he turned around.

"Tomorrow morning," Greg replied without taking his eyes off the two candidates who stood out the most among the others.Indeed, the shock immediately hit Riley and James."Tomorrow morning, Commander? How can we improve our skills in one night?" James asked as he now had a look of shock on his face although Greg could tell there was no fear in the young man's eyes.Greg simply replied, "Nothing is impossible. After all, this is a war that was never predicted before. We don't have enough time to prepare."Greg Sehel's words were enough to send chills down the spines of almost all the very young prospective soldiers. However, none of them chose to resign and go home.One of them said, "I've come this far. How can I go home?""My parents will kill me if I go home for fear of going to the battlefield," another said.Alen, who was actually still overcome by fear, also muttered, "I came to this palace to defend this country. Perhaps this is the time to prove that my purpose has never change

Mary Kesley could easily guess where Riley Mackenzie was headed. She shook her head, "You can't go in there, Riley."Riley's eyes were perfectly wide. In a disappointed tone he asked, "Why can't I?"Mary sighed and explained, "A royal identity card is required to go in."Riley could only complain, "Why is it so difficult?""The rules are like that. But, don't worry. Once you have the card, you can enter the royal library whenever you want," Mary explained.Riley smiled wryly, "I can't wait. I really need that information today, Mary.""Well, then you'll have to bury your curiosity," Mary retorted.Riley gave an exasperated snort. "It's not about curiosity, it's about knowledge that might help in the war."Oh, instantly Mary found it difficult to deal with the son of her mother's best friend.The girl clucked her tongue and said, "Riley, you're just an aspiring soldier. You don't need to do that. General Reece is already thinking about it.""I know, but I still want to help. Maybe this

Riley even smiled when he heard it."Oh, that's right. Having skills in two areas isn't bad," a soldier said as he had called himself an aerial expert.Alen nodded enthusiastically, "Oh, I'm right."Riley shook his head and shifted back a little to say, "You ... since when did you become a motivator?"Alen grinned and replied with a very quiet tone, "It's nothing like that. I just don't want our troops to decrease.""It's dangerous if the number of prospective soldiers is reduced," Alen added.Riley chuckled softly, his brain that had been a little full of his plans to get close to Rowena now relaxing a little.He then looked at the monitor again and heard some of the prospective soldiers retreating. Instantly Riley saw Greg's expression and at that moment he was sure there was a hint of disappointment on the stiff man's face.However, Greg didn't say anything about their withdrawal. Once the time was up, he simply said, "Well, 300 prospective soldiers chose to fight with me. So, from

The princess immediately turned around and looked straight at the mirror. She then said, "He's my future husband. What will the people say if I refuse his arrival?"Celia immediately bowed and understood what she had to do, "Then I will ask the guards to escort him in, Your Highness.""Hm," Rowena replied briefly.Celia turned around and left, while Rowena again ordered the servants to re-dress her. About five minutes later, the girl went to meet Riley in her living room. The young man who was not sitting and still standing saluted her and it made her frown.She looked at Riley's handsome face and strangely enough, she immediately realized that he had something to say to her. "Servant, guard. Leave us alone!" Rowena ordered.Celia gasped when she heard that, so she quickly replied, "But, Your Highness. You can't just be alone with ... Mr. Wood."Rowena sighed, "This is our private conversation. I think you might also be embarrassed when you hear it."Hearing the princess's words, the
