James was silent, suddenly looking thoughtful.

Alen also frowned as he looked at Riley as if asking for further explanation.

Seeing an opportunity come to him, Riley emphasized again, "So, the main headquarters should be more thorough and careful. There is no disadvantage in following this procedure. It will benefit many parties, especially our kingdom."

"With this test or examination, we can also find out who chose to resign or is no longer able to continue playing a role," Riley explained further.

James really couldn't argue with Riley's words. He could only grumble, "But ... this is taking too long."

Ben and Shin were stunned to see that Riley was able to make the two juniors finally come to their senses.

"Be patient!" Ben said quickly, helping Riley.

"Is your wound getting worse? Do you want me to check it, James?" Alen offered as he now seemed to be on Riley's side completely.

Shin also said in a worried tone, "If your wound gets worse, I'll ask-"

"No, I'm fine," James cut in imp

    Seeing the strange expressions of his two junior soldiers, Shin added, "Life as a palace soldier is not easy."A sigh was heard from the soldier who used to be a medical staff. The palace regulations did allow every soldier who finished their training period to get married. There are no regulations that prohibit them from living a normal life like the rest of society.However, in their first year of marriage, they were forbidden to bring their wives to live in the palace. The soldiers' wives could only enter and live in the palace in the second year of their marriage. But, they were not able to stay without permission. They had to undergo tests and examinations until they were cleared. However, once they were granted permission, they would be given the freedom to live in the palace with their husbands indefinitely and have the right to use the palace facilities provided by the kingdom. "General Reece is not married. Why should I?" Shin explained as he saw the shock on the faces of

    James was even more inflamed when he heard these words full of sarcasm. He immediately detached himself from Riley and said, "You're class one soldiers, but why don't you use your brains to think?"The staff glared angrily, "Young man, watch your language!""Why should I?" James retorted as he was now free of Riley, "You don't watch your mouth when you speak.""James," Riley called.James turned his head, "Why? Do you want me to stay silent when we're even accused of being a treasonous force? I ... can't let them do that."The soldiers of the class one laughed condescendingly. "You're ... hm, James Gardner. Gardner.""Did you hear his last name that I just said?" the red-haired soldier continued.A staffer with a pistol in hand frowned, "Uh, so you're the one ... the traitor's son?""You're-"James' face turned red due to the anger that had overcome him. Riley clenched his fists, barely able to control himself anymore.Meanwhile, Ben and Shin also looked just as angry as Riley or Jame

    Seeing James remain silent, Reynhard grinned once more, displaying his canines as if he was ready to tear James apart.The man felt that he had succeeded in scaring James so he confidently said, "Oh, good that you're scared now. You should know better, Gardner.""Don't think you're safe, just because you're friends with a future king's son-in-law!" Reynhard said, seemingly having the upper hand.The still silent James finally raised his face, looking into Reynhard's eyes with a flat expression.However, the young man still said nothing until Reynhard finally chose to speak again, "I ... may not dare to face Wood, but you ... a traitorous son of a bitch like you I can easily conquer."The man who was one of class one soldiers was about to smile, but he didn't because he suddenly heard James laughing out loud. In fact, his laughter was so crisp that the bewildered Reynhardt looked at him with a gaze full of astonishment and confusion, "What are you laughing at?" James stopped his laug

    Riley didn't answer and that made Reynhard feel victorious. He haughtily added, "Wow! How pathetic! I guess you won't be able to do anything without-""If that's what you think, then I wouldn't blame you," Riley cut in quickly, making several senior soldiers immediately sneer at him.Reynhard smiled dismissively, "Oh, so you admit it." "Of course, why would I deny it? It's the truth," Riley retorted, making Reynhard's friends look down on the young man.Reynhard laughed sarcastically, "Uh, I see. You are really disgusting, Wood. "You pathetic soldier! Using your position to get special treatment." A friend of Reynhard's said while staring with a mocking expression.Some people laughed mockingly, but Riley didn't seem to care too much.However, after letting the people have their fill of laughing at him, the almost-twenty-two-year-old said, "Indeed, being a future king's son-in-law is quite an advantage for me after all."The people fell silent again, watching Riley intently.Riley t

    Alen immediately shook his head, replying stammeringly, "N-nothing, General Reece."Andrew Reece looked suspicious, but the war general chose not to discuss it too much. He simply said, "Well, then please rest. Tonight you must listen to further war instructions from your seniors."James frowned in surprise, but Riley first commented, "Will the war strategy be conveyed by the seniors to ... us as juniors, General?"Andrew turned to Riley and smiled gently, "Yes. In thirty minutes, I will call the commanders along with some seniors to discuss the matter. Afterward, the seniors will call their colleagues and you as their juniors to explain what I have to say."Listening to the explanation, James suddenly became somber. While Alen let out a long sigh, realizing that their situation was not good.Meanwhile, Riley seemed to be as calm as ever and even replied, "Yes, General.""Alright, relax first!" Andrew told them.Before exiting the tent, Andrew walked towards Riley. James and Alen sta

    Riley was speechless, completely unable to refute James' words.The young man then let out a long breath.James sighed seeing Riley's soft gaze towards him, "Hey, listen. I know that my father did wrong, but ... that doesn't mean that people have the right to say that he's the worst general. Right? After all, he has protected this kingdom. He also risked his life.""I ... just hope that people not only see my father's faults, but also see what he had done. Is ... is my wish too much, Wood?" James continued with a desperate tone in his voice.Riley was saddened by James' small wish that so many people had never considered. But he still tried to respond by saying, "No. Your father deserves an honor. I understand."James froze in his seat but he did not give any reaction.Riley continued to say carefully, "But you also have to understand that not everyone thinks the same way, James.""I know that," James replied without turning to Riley.Not wanting to make the atmosphere uncomfortable,

    “Didn't I hear wrong?” a class two soldier commented in a surprised tone.While another also said, “How can an aspiring soldier get a chance to fight with the War General?”“You're right. Previously, none of the prospective soldiers could participate in the real battlefield, but now they can. Then what is this again? Joining the main army? It's unbelievable,” a class one soldier asked. He looked unhappy with the division of the soldiers. He even rolled his eyes when some soldiers praised James.James heard all the ramblings and still couldn't believe it himself. He then asked, “Are you sure you didn't misread, senior? It is impossible I am placed into-”“You think my eyesight is so bad that I can't read properly, Gardner?” the staff said in an offended tone.James was even more confused but he could not ask more. He knew from the staff's expression that he did not want to talk to him more.Riley saw that the situation might get out of hand due to that decision so he quickly said, “N

    Riley was silent for a few seconds and that immediately made Ben say again, “Which group does he belong to?”Riley reluctantly answered, “Group three, senior.”Ben sighed but nodded to himself. He was a little disappointed with the division of soldiers, but he knew there was nothing he could do about it.“He doesn't seem sad or disappointed with the results,” Riley said, trying to make Ben much calmer.Ben smiled, “I know. He's never protested about the division of the group since long ago.”He paused for a few seconds and said again, “Well, sometimes he does say he doesn't like it or looks worried. But she really doesn't care about this kind of thing.”Riley understood it too, but strangely it was Ben who looked sad. The young man did not understand why Ben was lamenting Shin's fate.However, then Ben suddenly said, “Shin really wanted to be one of the medical staff.”Riley was wide-eyed in shock, “Why didn't you tell the commander?”Ben suddenly wore a sad expression, “He can't retu

    "General, we're surrounded."A soldier with a bullet wound in his leg dragged himself to walk towards the place where the war general of Ans De Lou Kingdom was preparing his weapons.The soldier who was staggering as he walked was no longer wearing his head armour or any other body armour. That made the war general glare angrily at him, "What have you done? Where is your armour?"The soldier of the first class could only grimace in pain and replied, "It's unusable, too many bullet wounds."Riley Mackenzie widened his eyes and instantly removed the goggles protecting his eyes.The young man crouched down and looked at Benedict Arkitson's injuries, which were extremely severe. Not only had his leg been shot, but his left abdomen was also severely injured. In addition, Riley saw countless other wounds. "Stay here!

    People were eager to approach Riley, to help him. However, when they saw James Gardner moving toward Riley, they stayed where they were.James quickly caught Riley's staggering body as if he couldn't bear the weight of his own body.James sighed softly, “What are you doing?”“Preventing you from leaving,” Riley replied weakly.James exhaled roughly and picked up Riley who was still so weak.“You don't have to waste your time and energy,” James said.“Why? You don't have to go, James. You-”“It's my decision,” James cut in quickly.Riley shook his head, staring at the young man who was only one year older than him. “You're not guilty. I'm an asshole for wanting to keep you as my best friend.”“It's nice of you to admit that,” James replied with a faint smile.“If anyone should leave here, it's me, not you,” Riley said.James frowned, “Don't be crazy! You're the general of war in this kingdom. You can't-”“I lied to everyone from the start, not just to you,” Riley cut James off.Riley's

    Rowena nodded weakly, while the four soldiers who were also inside the infirmary immediately looked at each other. Riley himself took some time to process the information.However, Reiner immediately asked, "Your Highness, then ... where is the deputy general of war right now?"Rowena turned her head quickly, "I don't know. I ... only heard the news from the palace maid, just now. Perhaps ... he has already returned to the dormitory or-"Thank you, Your Royal Highness," Reiner cut off Rowena's speech quickly due to being too panicked.After that Reiner immediately paid his respects to the king's daughter and quickly left the area together with Diego.Ben also said, "Riley, I'll be there first. Later I ... will be here again."Alen nodded, "Don't worry! We'll let you know when we know what's going on."Riley could only stare at his friends' departure with a look full of confusion.Rowena was the only one left in the room and was accompanied by several staff, soldiers and servants.Row

    At first Riley was eager to force James to answer him, but he stopped doing so when he finally understood that James might need some time alone.He sighed softly, “I'll talk to him later.”Meanwhile, outside Riley's room, all the people who were good friends of the two young people who were having complicated problems were staring at James with questioning eyes.While Alen and Ben were silent because they didn't dare to ask, Diego casually asked, “Did you ... talk to Riley?”James nodded.“Then ... how?” Reiner asked in an anxious tone.James did not answer Reiner's question and only said, “I'm going back to the dorm first.”Shin, who heard that, bit his lip and replied, “I'll accompany you.”James did not refuse and let Shin come with him, while Diego and Reiner remained there.After James and Shin were no longer there, Alen decided to go inside with Ben.Not long after, Diego and Reiner also entered Riley's hospital room area.“He already knew about it,” Ben said when he first looke

    James laughed disappointedly when he saw Riley's silence.Riley suddenly stared at him wordlessly.“Why, did you ... did you never even have the intention of telling me about it?” James said in a sharp tone.Riley opened his mouth but not a single word came out of it.James was getting annoyed at him, “Uh, I see. I see now.”James nodded and stepped back, making Riley surprised.“James, it's not like what you're thinking,” Riley finally managed to reply to James.James shook his head.“Do you really know what I'm thinking, Riley?” James said in a sarcastic tone.The young man could no longer hide his immense disappointment, “You don't know, Riley. But ... I can tell what you're thinking.”“James, I ... know I've wronged you. But, please understand, my position is very difficult. I don't want you to ... hate me, James. I don't have-”“It must have been a lot of fun for you, huh?” James cut off Riley's words quickly.Riley who was originally leaning back immediately leaned her body, fac

    Shin and Reiner glanced at each other, as if they were both confused about whether or not to leave the area as James had requested.However, the reason they hesitated was certainly not because they were both worried that James would hurt Riley. Instead, both of them were more worried about James.Unfortunately, James, who did not get an answer from his two friends, turned his head with a furrowed brow, “Why? Don't you two trust me?”“You guys ... think I would do anything ... to hurt Riley? Is it like that?” James added with a sad look on his face.Shin quickly turned to James, “Of course not. I am sure you wouldn't do anything that bad.”“Don't get me wrong, James! We're ... just very worried about you,” Reiner said quietly.James was startled and when he looked at his two friends in turn, he instantly knew that they were not lying at all.The young man closed his eyes and instantly realized his mistake, “I'm sorry, senior.

What have you done?”Ben was silent.Shin took a deep breath and watched the expressions of all the soldiers who were his best friends. The man sighed softly, “Aren't we ... all friends? How could you ... and you hide this important thing?”Ben raised his head, “Then, what do you expect me to do?”“What did you say?” Shin retorted fiercely.“You think it's easy? Hiding a secret of this magnitude? You think ... what happens if I tell you and the others? Especially James. He ... would definitely fight with Riley. They'll-”“Damn it!” James cursed because he couldn't stand it anymore.The young man said, “Don't act like you know about me and can guess what I might do or happen. You think you can
