"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

    "He's great, really great. He got two girls now," James praised while nodding and also laughing loudly.Alen responded, "You lost to him on this one. Oh, but ... you always lose to Riley.""Alen Smith, why do you have such a sharp tongue?" James replied who immediately put on a pouty face.Alen just chuckled in satisfaction at having mocked the young man. However, his laughter immediately stopped when he realized something. "James, wait a minute!""Why?" James asked curtly."Riley is already the king's future son-in-law and almost all the residents of this palace already know about it. So ... what if someone gossips about him and Mary Kesley?" Alen said.Hearing that, James, instead of being confused, burst out laughing. His laughter did not stop, even when Alen was glaring at him. "You like it when your friends get into trouble!" Alen said with a wry smile.James nodded vigorously, "This is one of the most fun pastimes. Believe me, his love troubles are a real entertaining."He conti

    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

    After Mary said an idea that made Riley pensive, the girl left the area as quickly as she could. She didn't want any gossip to get her into trouble.Riley immediately ruffled his hair in frustration."Why does it have to be like this?" he muttered in exasperation.He was not someone who would take advantage of others for his own benefit. However, he made himself feel better by saying, "Oh, it's not for my benefit. I'm doing this to help find another way to protect the kingdom."With that in mind, he set out to meet Rowena Wellington after he finished his intensive training. "Where have you been?" James asked once he saw Riley returning."She's not heartbroken, is she?" Alen had a concerned expression.James snorted, "He and Mary Kesley don't have a clear status yet. Mary shouldn't have to feel bad.""Hey, that woman is the most complicated human, so who's to say whether she feels bad or not?" Alen retorted.Riley shook his head and looked at the two roommates in turn, "What are you gu

    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

    Alen immediately looked around, trying to locate Riley. However, he still couldn't find his friend. "Did he leave? I don't see him."James let out a long sigh, "Damn! Didn't I just ask you that? He left without telling us."Alen quickly responded, "Oh, never mind. He probably had other things he wanted to do."James twisted his chin, "Does this have something to do with those two girls?""Who are those two girls?" Alen asked after removing his gloves."Princess Rowena and Mary Kesley. Who else are the two girls he's close to besides them?" James replied in an exasperated tone.Alen grimaced, "Oh, I thought there was another girl."James frowned, but Alen quickly said, "Let it go! Maybe he feels like he needs to get his love affairs sorted out before we go to war.""Oh, right. Maybe so," James said as he now sounded indifferent.He chose to wait for Riley in the park close to their dormitory with Alen. Meanwhile, Riley had just arrived at the princess' palace. The princess servants we

    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

    Riley certainly could not reply and that made Rowena chuckle."Calm down, I know that this status is only temporary, but ... hm, never mind. You'd better get back to your training," Rowena said and the girl pushed the stunned youth away.Actually, Riley still wanted to talk. But since Rowena had told him to leave, of course he had to leave.Riley rushed to the resting place for the prospective soldiers. In just a short time he had managed to find his two room mates who were lying on the grass with their eyes closed as if they were exhausted after the intense training they had done.As soon as Riley sat down next to James, the young man immediately opened his eyes and got up. His eyes looked questioningly at Riley, "So, how was it?""How what?" Alen asked with his eyes still closed, not knowing that Riley was already there.James clucked his tongue, "I'm not asking you."The short-haired boy opened his eyes instantly, tilted his head and smiled widely when he saw Riley sitting facing Ja

    With great enthusiasm Rowena added, "You can ask him for advice. I'm sure he'll be able to help us."The girl's face even looked radiant, but Riley shook her head."Why? You don't want to?" Rowena asked with a confused expression.Riley sighed, "My father ... he's been in that field, risked his life and has done a lot for this kingdom. And right now he's living his life like an ordinary person."He then turned to the princess and continued, "I don't want to see him thinking hard about the war anymore. I want my father to just relax into his current life with my mother without thinking about things like this anymore, Your Highness."Rowena was silent.The girl was instantly reminded of her meeting with William Mackenzie some time ago. If Riley wanted his father not to worry about the kingdom, his father, the most powerful general ever, did the same.The god of war also did not want his son to know of his arrival. He also wanted his son to not worry about anything and focus on his goal.

    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

    Unfortunately it was all too late for the young girl to realize. All the words of the girl named Alice Porter were clearly heard by Reiner Anderson and James Gardner.With a dark look on his face, James said, "Miss, you-""No, no. I just misspoke, I ... I don't know anything. You heard me wrong," Alice said, whose face paled even more. Especially when she saw the aura of James Gardner, the terrifying war general, she found it even harder to breathe.Reiner also could not help himself so he said in an exasperated tone, "Tell me everything you know or you ... will know how terrible it is when you face the two of us.""I don't care if you are a woman. I can still find a punishment that you deserve," Reiner continued coldly.Alice swallowed harshly. Of course the young girl was very confused. Moreover, no one was trying to help her at all. All the employees in the boutique looked so frightened that no one dared to open their mouths."Say it now! We don't have much time, Miss!" James gro

    James' question immediately made Reiner silent for a few moments. He stared at the boutique with a confused look on his face.Meanwhile, James didn't want to waste any more time so he wordlessly walked towards the boutique owned by Michelle Veren, a forty-year-old female designer who was quite famous in the country.Reiner didn't just stand by and do nothing, lamenting his inaccuracy. He followed James with a small trot right behind James without a word.As soon as James was faster than him to reach the door, he immediately saw the two boutique guards who opened the door for them."Can I help you?" one of the boutique guards asked James."I'm looking for Princess Rowena. Where is she now?" James asked back matter-of-factly as he darted his eyes all over the first floor of the boutique.Although there was a suspicion rising in James' mind, the young man put his anxiety ahead of his suspicion."You're looking for Princess Rowena? Who are you? You-""James Gardner. Royal War General Ans

    Reiner Anderson did not answer James' question. Instead, he had a facial expression that looked both hesitant and confused.Of course, that made James Gardner even more annoyed. "Come on, tell me quickly! What's so strange about Princess Rowena?" James urged, impatiently.Reiner swallowed and scratched his ears before answering, "Well, I'm not sure if this is strange to you. But ... I think it's very strange, James."James gritted his teeth in growing annoyance and impatience.Luckily, he didn't need to ask anymore as Reiner added, "So, according to reports she went outside the palace."Hearing Reiner's answer, James snorted rudely. "What's so strange about that? I know she often goes outside the palace."Reiner sighed softly, "Indeed. But, this time ... a few hours ago, she left without a bodyguard. And she ... left with their son, Prince Kharel."Instantly James glared in shock, "What? Are you ... sure?""Yes, James. She just-""How is that possible? King Xylan ... didn't forbid he

    Gary Davis did not answer Xylan's question. He just wore a pitiable expression. It instantly brought out the guilt in Xylan Wellington.Oh, no. What have I done? Did ... did I go too far in becoming suspicious of my own personal assistant? Xylan thought to himself as he stared at Gary's innocent face.The viceroy sighed softly. He went back to thinking hard. He tried to remember everything about Gary. He had never made a mistake, not once. He also never did anything suspicious all this time. Gosh, am I suspecting the wrong person? Xylan thought.However, he shook his head quickly as he realized something.But, wait a minute. It was James Gardner who suspected him. He couldn't have spoken carelessly. Otherwise, there was no way he could have been selected as the deputy war general. His instincts must be very strong that he has suspicions of Gary Davis, Xylan thought seriously.He then looked at Gary once more and finally nodded his head.He does look very innocent, but he could be h

    Ben didn't know how he should respond to his friend's words, but all he could do was go over to James and pat him gently on the back repeatedly in an attempt to calm him down."He's really not coming back, Ben.""No, he's not. It's just-""He wouldn't give that kind of message if he didn't mean what he said," James cut Ben off.Ben sighed softly, "James, what I meant was ... he probably doesn't want to be looked for anymore because he wants to go back to the palace himself."Ben's words made James, who had been so frantic, straighten his back. The war general then turned to Ben and responded, "What do you mean?"Ben wasn't sure what he was thinking but he said it anyway, "I think ... he just wants to go home alone."James paused, trying to digest his friend's words."Tell you what ... how about we just go back to the palace, who knows if Riley might actually be home," Ben explained.Ricky and Steven Drilon were silent as they listened to Ben's words.They also didn't have time to reac

    Ricky Drilon could only stare at the question.Oh, he often found himself in a confusing situation. But, he had never once felt depressed.Though he was also very often faced with a difficult choice. However, again, such things could be resolved well without any inner turmoil.However, one question asked by Riley Mackenzie put him in his most difficult phase. "Why are you doing nothing? Who are you going to obey? Me or General Gardner?" Riley repeated his question.Ricky swallowed harshly, getting more and more confused.His forehead was furrowed, clearly showing a great deal of indecision. He repeatedly smoothed his hair in just one minute. That made Riley smile strangely, "So, what? Who are you going to choose to obey?" Ricky bit his own teeth.How is this? What am I supposed to do? And why am I in this situation? Ricky thought.He looked indecisive, full of doubts. Riley himself looked very calm and relaxed at Ricky's confusion."Why aren't you answering me?" Riley asked with a

    Ricky didn't answer James' question immediately, instead he looked back at Steven, his brother. From the look in his eyes, it was clear that the young man was seeking Ricky's approval. Apparently, James Gardner noticed this habit and with an exasperated look on his face, he commented, "Come on, do you have to have a discussion before answering a simple question like the one I asked you earlier?" "Don't you have your own opinion?" James continued in a cold tone. Ricky and Steven's faces turned a perfect shade of red. Ben grimaced at James' assertiveness but he didn't make an interruption. Not wanting to make James even angrier, Ricky finally replied, "If it's an ordinary person, we can probably still go after him. However, if it's General Mackenzie, I ...." The young man did not dare to continue his words. From the look on his face he looked hesitant until James continued his words by saying, "You're not sure we can catch up with Riley?" Ricky stammered, "Absolutely, General Gar

    Benedict Arkitson instantly froze like a statue as if he dared not move his body at all. The thirty-four-year-old senior class one soldier was stunned without being able to issue any rebuttal to the junior soldier's explanation.He thought that he had no reason to doubt Lory Blackwell's words. Meanwhile, the strangely gloomy James Gardner looked the other way, as if reluctant to meet Lory Blackwell's eyes that were staring at him innocently. The young war general then said, "It's Riley. It must be him, it can't be wrong."Lory smiled with satisfaction and nodded with relief. The young man let out a long sigh after his statement was beyond doubt.However, he saw the sad look on James Gardner's face that the war general couldn't hide.He even heard James mutter softly, "It really is him. But ... he must be angry with me. If he wasn't angry, why would he leave?"That of course made Lory very surprised. James Gardner had always been known as a very rigid and cold person. He never imag
