James smiled with relief.

He really thought Josh Cleve wouldn't believe him. But, as he had just listened to the excitement in Josh's tone, James felt incredibly happy.

The young man said softly, "All you need to do is help me make it happen."

"You ... will see that even sea warriors can be as great as land and air warriors," James added.

Josh nodded in response.

After reassuring Josh, James said again, "Come on! We need to hurry. Before sunrise, we need to get things started."

"Yes, General," the three war commanders said in unison.

James grimaced, not yet used to the call. He wasn't totally unwilling to take the position, even if it was only for a short while, but if he didn't agree to Keannu Wellington's request, he would be in trouble.

By becoming a war general, he had more authority so he thought he could utilize his current position to save the lives of more people.

After three hours of long discussions, he had finally conveyed all of James' war strategy to the soldiers.

    "Never mind, there's no need to discuss this," James said as if he didn't want to talk about the topic.Alen and Ben were still very curious, but they didn't want to force James. Moreover, James had just returned to the palace, they certainly didn't want to make James feel uncomfortable."Alright, alright. I understand," Alen said.Ben said, "James, I heard that you have been officially appointed as a war general. So, what do you want to order us to do?"James breathed a sigh of relief after the topic was changed. He quickly replied, "There are some things you have to do. Are you ready to do them?""Of course I am. You ... will also save Riley, right?" Alen asked in an anxious tone.James was silent for a few moments. That made Ben and Alen, who were waiting for an answer from James, anxious.However, it wasn't long before they heard James say, "Yes, of course. That's what I came back for.""To make him back where he belongs, near ... his son," James continued, who instantly remembere

    James clucked his tongue in annoyance. He looked at Reiner with a gaze full of distrust. It was obvious that he doubted Reiner's ability to cut hair.Indeed, when it came to fighting, Reiner was one of the best soldiers in the Ans De Lou Kingdom. That man even earned the nickname of the second best ground war commander after Greg Sehel. However, James had never seen him have any skills other than fighting so James had a hard time believing in his good friend. Seeing that James did not answer him, Reiner quickly said again, "We only need ten minutes, General Gardner. I promise I will-""Stop it!" someone cut Reiner off.James Gardner turned his head and saw a young woman who was the palace secretary standing with her gaze narrowed at Reiner as she walked towards them.James was about to greet her but saw that Reiner was faster than him.Reiner sighed softly and said, "What are you-""You ... how could you leave before I woke up, Reiner Anderson?" the young woman said with a scrunched

    "I returned to this palace to atone for everything, Your Highness. One of them is ... to atone for my guilt towards my best friend for abandoning him and leaving him alone to guard this kingdom," James said in a rather low tone of voice.Xylan widened his eyes slightly in surprise. His forehead wrinkled in confusion. He thought that James still blamed Riley for everything. Apparently he had guessed wrong.James looked at the future king with a solemn gaze, "Yes, Your Majesty. You did not hear wrong. After all, it was my fault that Riley was caught."James sighed guiltily.He had realized his mistake. Indeed, Riley did wrong to him and he had every right to be angry at his friend. However, he knew that the decision to leave the palace was a big mistake.Not only had he given up his position, but he had also placed a huge burden on Riley. Riley had not asked for a change of deputy war general. The position was left vacant for many years. Of course, Riley must have gone through a lot of

    Gary was speechless. too shocked by the future king of Ans De Lou Kingdom's statement.However, when he was able to compose himself, he said, "Your Highness, you mean to make General Gardner the War General forever?"Xylan smiled faintly, "You finally understand what I mean."Gary cleared his throat softly, disguising his nervousness, "Then, what about young General Mackenzie, Your Highness?"Xylan sighed.He turned his gaze the other way and stared at a large portrait of himself and his family members on the large wall."Actually ... my sister always protested when my brother-in-law was sent to the battlefield. So, I think Rowena would be very happy if her husband could be relieved of his duties as a war general," Xylan explained.Gary was even more confused. He hadn't expected that Xylan had thought about it more deeply.In fact, he then heard the crown prince continue, "Besides, with Riley free from the heavy duties of the palace, he will be able to stay near his wife and son.""Th

    Upon hearing the words of Xylan Wellington, who was the crown prince of Ans De Lou Kingdom, Gary Davis could only stare with a dumbfounded expression at the person he had served for two years."Why?" Xylan said again as he caught Gary's expression which he found strange in his eyes.His forehead wrinkled in confusion, "Do you ... not like it, Gary?"Gary winked then quickly shook his head, "Of course I do, Your Highness. But ....""But, why?" Xylan asked with a questioning look on his face."Are you really serious, Your Highness?" Gary ventured to ask.Xylan took offense, "What do you mean? I am a crown prince and I will be the king of this country in the not too distant future."He snorted harshly then continued as he glared irritably at his personal assistant who had dared to doubt his words, "How could I dare to play with my words?"Gary grimaced, realizing that Xylan was upset with him. The young man hurriedly knelt down again and said, "I beg forgiveness for my mistake, Your Hig

    Some people began to look worriedly at their war general who had not moved an inch."What the hell is going on?""Why is General Gardner just sitting there?" a class three soldier asked his fellow soldier.The soldier standing right next to him replied, "I don't know. It looks like General Gardner is confused.""What? Why is he confused? Does that mean he's going to ... retreat?"A class two soldier who heard those words instantly turned to the class three soldier as he raised his visor, "What did you just say, huh? You think General Gardner is a coward?""No-no ... so, Senior. But ... why didn't he act immediately? We're already in enemy territory," the soldier replied, who initially seemed to doubt his general stammeringly.The class two soldier who defended James replied, "Perhaps General Gardner is adjusting himself. He hasn't fought in a long time so he might need time to readjust."Another also nodded in agreement and quickly responded, "Right. He is ... one of those great warrio

    Kurt Zys smiled mockingly, "Thank you?"He then spat to the side and said again, "Are you dreaming? Do you think that by capturing us, you think your army will win over our army?"Kurt laughed dismissively. "In case you forgot ... I'll remind you, we ... have an important person from your kingdom.""That's right, your war general is in our hands. What can you do with your new war general? What can he do?" a soldier sitting beside Kurt said in an annoying tone.Kurt flashed his mocking smile again to irritate Justin.Justin raised his right eyebrow and immediately realized that there was no way he could get what he wanted from the enemy soldiers. The young man sighed softly. He felt that talking to the enemy soldiers was pointless so he simply replied, "Well, since you can only belittle us, it would be much better if we didn't hear your voice."Kurt frowned, looking somewhat confused.However, it wasn't long before he heard Justin command, "Shut them all up!

    A class two soldier of James' age replied, "Maybe he was practicing during his long break."Ben shook his head, "I'm not sure.""You mean, Senior Ben?" Jason Hoult asked with a facial expression full of confusion.Ben smiled faintly.Without turning his head towards Jason, the man who had long been a first-class soldier replied, "There's no time for that. He's very busy managing his business.""What business, Senior Ben?" Jason asked back, looking both surprised and curious. Ben almost tapped his forehead from talking too much."Uh, what are we doing? Isn't it time to help him? Come on, Jason. Get back to your position!" Ben ordered.Jason was forced to move away from the area in disappointment. Uh, he was really very curious about the story of James Gardner.He used to feud with the young man who always had a cold impression, but he could finally understand James' attitude.James always had an annoying expression on his face, but the young man wasn't actually an annoying man.

    "Of course it is. Otherwise, how could his café business be successful?" Diego said, who seemed to be satisfied with the results achieved by James, his best friend.Reiner became more interested, "How? I mean ... you know he's ... well, he can't be polite and he tends to annoy people. So, what did he change?"Diego looked like he was about to answer, but Shin suddenly said in an incredulous tone, "Oh, wait a minute. He manages the cafe business together with his mother, right? Uh, I'm sure the customers come to his place because of his nice mom."Ben nodded in agreement, "I've never met James' mother, but ... considering James is like that, I'll take Shin's word for it."Diego immediately put on a sour expression, looking rather annoyed. This was because his own friends apparently didn't know James very well.However, he was the one who was witness to how James had changed so much that he felt the need to set the record straight."Hey, I'm telling you seriously.

    Alen did not immediately answer the question of his senior and good friend. He seemed to think for a moment before finally giving an answer, "It's like you don't know James.""What do you mean?" Shin replied while blinking.Alen snorted impatiently, "Shin, James is unpredictable. You must also know that sometimes he can do things that no one would ever think of. So, how can I guess what he might do?"Shin was stunned. The young man smiled wryly, "Damn, you're right about that. He is indeed unpredictable."In the end, the two people did not ask James any questions about what they discussed. When the funeral was over, they all returned to their respective places. However, not James Gardner. The young man who was the war general of Ans De Lou Kingdom at that time was seen walking towards Xylan Wellington's residence.Of course, this led to various speculations among most of the palace residents. It was not only the officials and staff of the palace who began to notice the irregularitie

    "It will, Diego," James replied."He can wait," James repeated with emphasis.Diego didn't seem convinced by James' answer.James was usually reluctant to go into too much detail about what he was thinking. However, Diego was one of his best friends so he didn't want to confuse his best friend.So, James said, "He's not an easy guy to beat, Diego. And ... there's one thing you need to know.""What's that?" Diego asked with one eyebrow raised."His own father, I mean General Mackenzie told me that his son ... will not die easily," James explained.Diego was so dumbfounded that he didn't dare reply.James was sure his job of explaining was done, but he still added, "If the greatest and most powerful general the Ans De Lou Kingdom has ever seen said that, then there's a very good chance that Riley is still alive out there."Diego was silent for a few moments.But then he said, "If General Mackenzie believes that, we have no right to doubt him.""You're right, Diego. Therefore, we just ha

    William's lips lifted upwards once again, forming a warm smile."James, without me explaining it, you ... must know it yourself, right?" William said softly.After that, the old man who was once the strongest soldier in the kingdom patted James on the back and then left James pensive.The young man swallowed hard. Suddenly he remembered all the things about Riley, more precisely their friendship that they had established since the beginning.All those memories came back. One of the memories that bothered him was when they were still not officially inducted into the army. At that time he was upset and made the stupid and desperate decision to attack the enemy as proof that he was different from his father. Then, the only person who really cared about him was Riley. He was the one who sacrificed himself to save him. At that time, he and Riley were both aspiring soldiers. Neither of them had the slightest experience on the battlefield. But, Riley was still looking for him.Uh, when he

    James Gardner nodded, "Yes, Your Royal Highness. May I do so?"Xylan Wellington quickly nodded, "Go, General Gardner. You can talk to him."James was grateful that Xylan did not hold him back."Thank you, Your Highness," James said as he quickly left the crown prince along with three first-class soldiers to guard him.Indeed, the three soldiers were certainly no match for him. However, he chose to trust the three of them.Luckily, it turned out that William Mackenzie who looked much older by a few years was also looking for him so their meeting did not encounter any obstacles."General Mackenzie," James greeted the father of his best friend respectfully.William Mackenzie smiled faintly and replied, "General Gardner."James nodded, "You … are you alright, General?"William returned a smile and said in a low tone, "How can I be fine when I have some problems, General Gardner?"James frowned, looking rather confused.Not wanting to riddle and confuse James, William quickly explained wit

    James suddenly gave Gardner a lopsided smile. He knew it was not easy being Xylan Wellington's shield. But, he really did not expect that the crown prince who he thought was so smart was also so innocent.His intelligence seemed to be inversely proportional to his knowledge in terms of understanding the world around him.However, he had already decided to replace Riley in order to make up for the few years of time he had wasted so he should try to be patient.Thus, he calmly replied, "You should start thinking about the matter of all of their opinions, Your Highness.""Why should I?" Xylan retorted, who did not seem to accept James' words.James bit his lower lip, feeling the need to suppress his irritation even more. Come on, James. Don't give up so easily! James thought to himself."Because you are the future king and will soon inherit the throne of this country. So, you should start thinking about what they think of you," James replied.Xylan was about to reply, but James was fas

    The indecision on Xylan Wellington's face was evident. James Gardner, who felt that he had succeeded in making the crown prince realize the big mistake Xylan was about to make, called out, "Your Highness."Xylan flinched slightly when he heard his name being called by James.The young man turned to James, but still did not open his mouth.At that moment, James Gardner was certain that Xylan would change the decision they had just discussed.However, he suddenly saw Xylan smiling at him. That of course made James blink his eyes in confusion.But, within seconds, his confusion was answered. He heard Xylan say, "General Gardner, what you said is true. Everything is right. I ... might get some opposition for choosing Gary Davis as the king's advisor."He nodded. James immediately got a bad feeling that he didn't want to imagine."But, General Gardner. I have found no other good candidate than Gary Davis for that position. And ...."He paused for a moment, seemingly thinking about somethi

    "Yes, that's right. My personal assistant who ... is currently outside the door of my father's residence," Xylan replied, not seeming to find anything strange about his answer.James was still so shocked that he was left speechless, at a loss for what to say in response to Xylan's explanation."Why, General Gardner?" Xylan asked as he looked at James who was not speaking.James moistened his lower lip, still thinking of the right words.However, Xylan couldn't wait for him so he spoke again, "General Gardner, I know what you're thinking."James blinked his eyes, looking stunned.Xylan let out a long breath, "This must be the status of Gary Davis who is my personal assistant, right?"James' eyes widened slightly until he then looked at the crown prince with an astonished look.That's what I mean, why would you even think of making a personal assistant an advisor to the king? Have you ... lost your mind, Your Royal Highness? James thought to himself.Uh, James Gardner actually never jud

    "Tell me, so I can do what I should, Your Royal Highness," James added.Xylan returned the war general's gaze with a look that looked very serious. The young man who had originally made one of the major decisions finally opened his mouth, "It has to do with ... the determination of the new palace officials after I take office as king."James was silent for a moment, looking a little surprised. It was only natural that Xylan Wellington had been thinking about his future reign. However, he didn't think it was the right time.His father hadn't even been buried yet. Why was he already thinking of something else? Isn't he still grieving? James thought.Xylan cleared his throat, causing James to give him a strange look. Not wanting James to think strangely about him or even misunderstand him, Xylan hurriedly explained, "General Gardner, it's not what you're thinking."James did not respond immediately and instead waited for Xylan's further explanation.Xylan himself was smart enough to q
