"You ... must be drunk, for you to talk like this," Andrew said suddenly.

Sean was eager to argue, but he was silent for a moment.

Andrew said, "Just so you know, not everyone can become a soldier. Don't you also know how difficult the tests you went through to get to this stage are, Sean?"

"How can you say now that you don't want the life of a soldier? Are you out of your mind?" Andrew continued.

Sean was silent for an instant.

The young man looked down deeply, as if he had just been slapped so hard. Meanwhile, Howard and Mark seemed to be revived by a splash of cold water.

"Didn't you say a while ago that you were so happy to be in General Mackenzie's army?" Andrew asked and he seemed to have lost his temper.

He looked at the three in turn and finally said, "If only General Mackenzie had listened to what you said earlier, he would have been very disappointed."

"No, sir." Sean said quickly.

"I'm sorry. I've done wrong," Sean said quickly with an overwhelming sense of guilt.

    Jody Gardner's body felt heavy and he might turn to stone after hearing the king's words. The man suddenly lost his voice and could not utter a single word. Keannu Wellington who saw the shock in the War General's eyes then simply said, "You don't need to be surprised like that, General." Has he gone mad? How could I not be surprised after hearing such a shocking fact? Jody Gardner could only wonder. How did he know all that? As he remembered, all the soldiers involved in the incident were gone. All of them had died in other wars and even if any of them were still alive, none of them were still in the palace. There was no way the king could find those people. "You must be wondering how I know about this," Keannu said casually. Jody Gardner struggled to gulp but he still couldn't speak. He could now only listen intently to everything his king said. "Actually, it's no big deal, General Gardner." Keannu chuckled and continued, "A great general like William Mackenzie decided t

    Jody Gardner immediately turned around and saluted the queen along with her maids. "Mercy, Your Majesty the Queen," Jody said while bowing his head, as if not daring to look at the queen. Monica Wilhelm said quietly, "So, who was the person you were talking about so excitedly earlier, General Gardner?" Jody Gardner swallowed nervously but he still replied, "Your Majesty, you just misunderstood." Monica laughed sarcastically when she heard Jody's answer. "Do you think I am deaf, General Gardner?" the queen asked. Steven's eyes widened and he fell to his knees begging for mercy. "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I didn't mean to speak like that," Jody said. Monica said, "Oh, well if you don't want to be frank with you. I'll do the talking." Jody frowned while Steven looked so surprised by the queen's words. "General Gardner, if I'm not mistaken you must have been talking about General Mackenzie. Am I right?" Monica asked. Jody's eyes widened so quickly and he hurriedly replied

    The next day, in William Mackenzie's small family home, Cassandra Wood was contorting her face as she listened to her husband's confession. "So, you've been hiding it from me, Bill?" Cassandra asked for the third time. Bill repeatedly replied, "I just haven't told you about it, Cassie." Cassandra snorted loudly again. "Oh, it's unbelievable. How come?" Bill let out a long sigh, already expecting that his wife wouldn't believe him easily. "I started it when I was young, Cassie. Here are some of my other companies. It's all on that list," Bill explained as he pointed to a large folder that contained all of Bill's assets. Cassandra turned to her husband, "I really don't know you. I know very little about you." The woman looked disturbed by that. "So, what else are you still hiding from me? Are you going to give me another surprise later, Bill?" Cassandra asked. Bill sighed, "I've told you all my secrets. But ...." Cassandra began to feel bad. Suddenly, she began to be wary of w

    Howard didn't dare to answer and instead only dared to lower his gaze. Sean and Mark didn't have the courage to reply either. But, Bill asked once again, "How many troops do we still have?" Howard swallowed, choosing to answer immediately, "One hundred and one, General." Bill paused. "That hundred and one includes Andrew Reece, General," Sean said. Bill nodded, "Those who survive are those who know about my identity?" "That's right, General," Howard replied. Bill nodded, "Good then." Sean glared in shock, "What makes good, General?" "Yes, that's very good." Bill showed a look of satisfaction on his face. Howard chose to ask, "What's good, General? We only have a hundred soldiers left. How are we going to fight then?" Bill sighed wearily, looking at his three men. "Have you forgotten that numbers aren't everything?" Bill said. "What's important is skill and strategy. Even a small number of troops can win if they have a good strategy," Bill explained. Mark Donovan suddenl

    "As to that, I cannot elaborate further, Your Majesty," Bill said. Keannu snorted loudly, realizing that there was no way he could force the great general's hand so he could only say, "Well, then General Mackenzie. It's up to you. If you want to reveal your own identity, no problem." Hearing that answer, Bill immediately said, "Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty." Keannu nodded and let William Mackenzie leave him. Two days later, in accordance with Bill's request, Keannu held a formal party in the courtyard of the palace hall at noon. Everyone began to wonder what was really going on. "I don't know, what's the celebration?" one of the servants asked, preparing for the party. "I don't know. I don't hear anything good happening, but who knows?" "Never mind, we're just servants who have no right to ask questions. Wouldn't it be better if we just got this over with? We don't have much time," a forty-year-old waiter said. A male servant suddenly chimed in, "Could there be a

    But then voices began to be heard there. "General Mackenzie?" "The strongest and best general we ever had?" "But where is he now why don't I see him?" Another person then shook his head, "I don't see anyone wearing the General's armor." "Oh, but if this celebration is meant to welcome the return of General Mackenzie, then that makes sense." "I know, but the problem is that I don't see any sign of him right now," another guard said. Keannu Wellington, who was waiting for the men to stop talking, then impatiently knocked on the table to bring things under control. As everyone in the palace fell silent and waited for what their king might say, Keannu Wellington stood up and started walking towards the center. Monica Wilhelm, who knew everything, was now extremely upset with her husband. It seemed Keannu had deliberately wanted to create drama over the welcome. "Oh, I know you all must be wondering. Where is our great general?" Keannu asked as he began his speech. Andrew Reece

    Keannu Wellington immediately turned his face and looked at his wife with a look that was so disturbed as if his pleasure had just been interrupted by his wife. However, Monica Wilhelm who was already fearless and so fed up with her husband just stared with a smile, "Husband. Please!" Keannu almost cursed at his wife and vented his frustration at being interrupted but he quickly managed to control himself and returned his smile and said, "You're right, my Queen. I need to stop all this immediately." Hearing that sentence, both Jody Gardner and all the officials in the palace instantly returned to their respective positions and silently waited for the king's action. Once again, Keannu Wellington tried hard not to look too disappointed in front of all the residents of the palace. In a voice that sounded like a wise king he said, "General Mackenzie's presence will never interfere with General Gardner, so stop trying to get one of them stopped because I won't do it." That immediately

    "That is obvious. He is a king after all and if his orders are aimed at strengthening our kingdom then there is no reason for us to refuse them," Bill said. Andrew Reece seemed to disagree. He didn't just stand by and let his opinion get stuck in his head. The young man William Mackenzie trusted so much said, "But General. King Keannu seems to have a purpose of his own. This is not only in the interest of the people but also in his personal interest. Is this not a reason to refuse his orders?" William Mackenzie exhaled softly. Currently they were still in the palace courtyard, of course he could not say more because he did not want to disturb the event. However, he couldn't let that happen either so he chose to explain briefly, "King Keannu may have some personal interests but there are certainly other interests related to the people. So, I choose to think about the people's interests rather than thinking about what might be the king's personal goals." Andrew Reece tried to under
