Alen unknowingly made a mistake in treating his commander's wound until Greg said, "Be careful, young man. This hand of mine should recover soon.""I ... still have to go to the battlefield to find your close friend," Greg added.Andrew looked at the tension on Alen's face. The war general said quietly, "Alen, what's wrong? You ... look unfocused."How could Alen Smith focus after he heard such an important fact? He even felt so incredibly lucky that he didn't faint right away.Greg exhaled harshly, "He can't focus because he heard about Riley.""Uh, I see. Sorry for taking you by surprise," Andrew said but he did not seem at all sorry for revealing the identity of his war general's son in front of Alen.Alen swallowed with difficulty and summoned the courage to ask, "General Reece, what I heard was ... true?""What part? My promise or what?" Andrew asked with a calm look.Greg glanced at the war general and then shook his head. "Young man, this is actually a big secret that no one sh
Riley felt strange about Fabian's words. Moreover, the words were delivered by Fabian in a bitter-sounding tone.The young man became confused. Indeed, he realized that there was something strange about his battle with Fabian this time. Fabian seemed to be trying his best to kill Riley, but the man was not too concerned about his safety. It was as if Fabian was letting Riley hurt him. However, that was what made Riley even more convinced that Fabian was hiding something. Still, Riley replied, "When I say anyone, it means I will also save the enemy, including you.""Even if the enemy intends to kill you?" Fabian asked with a furrowed brow."Yes."Fabian raised his head, looking at the young man with a fixed gaze. Moreover, Riley then added, "My father always reminded me never to kill, even if the enemy must be killed."Fabian was speechless, more like stunned by the answer Riley had given. Riley was also dumbfounded by the answer he had said, as if he had found the answer to someth
Ben shook his head, as if unable to say anything. Meanwhile, looking around, several other soldiers were bowing their heads. Riley immediately urged to move closer to see the face of the soldier who had been shot and was probably dead.When Riley finally managed to get close and see the soldier's face that was not protected by a protective helmet, his eyes widened. "This can't be.""No, it's not. This must be a mistake."Riley quickly removed his protective helmet and with trembling hands touched the face of the commander who was so loyal to his father."Commander Sehel. How could it be?"It was still hard to believe that the brave and great commander was now lying on the ground. Riley examined the commander's body and shouted hysterically, "He can't be dead. Medical staff, medical staff. Help!""Medical staff, please!" the young man shouted in a louder tone.Several medical staff arrived. The soldiers surrounding Greg Sehel moved aside, making way for the medical staff whose hands
A class two soldier who came along with the medical staff members immediately explained what happened.Andrew Reece listened without interrupting.While Alen Smith who was also listening carefully to the story of the incident that took the life of Greg Sehel, one of the best commanders, shed tears.Alen immediately examined Greg's body with an excruciating feeling of sadness after the soldier finished his story.Andrew came over and sat next to Alen. He then whispered, "Greg, General Mackenzie will be saddened to hear all this, but ... he will also be thankful that you saved his son."Alen heard all of Andrew's words and felt so much admiration for Greg."Commander Sehel is one of those commanders whose loyalty is really very high, his name will be remembered as a hero for all the services he has given," Alen said.Everyone in the tent agreed with Alen. In fact, Andrew also nodded at Alen, a sign that he appreciated what Alen Smith had said.On the other side, in the battle area, every
Hearing his opponent's threat, Riley simply responded, “Do you think I'm stupid?” He raised his weapon and aimed at the enemy. He even calmly aimed the weapon right at the heart of the soldier standing at a distance from him.The Fermoza Kingdom soldier named Hugo Wilson who was not wearing a protective helmet raised an eyebrow, looking shocked. “You-”“Shoot if you can,” Riley said fearlessly. His grip on his weapon was even stronger.Ben smiled, praising when he saw Riley's calmness. He was not surprised at all by Riley's decision. He himself had no problem dying there. What he thought was that when Riley complied with their enemy's wishes and dropped the weapon, they had surrendered themselves to the enemy.“Are you challenging me, young man? Don't you know I'm the one-”“Yes, I know of course. You ... who killed my commander and-”“And you still dare to face me?” a lopsided smile full of arrogance was etched on Hugo's lips.Riley let out a long breath, “I remind you of one thin
Ben suddenly laughed so hard that James, Riley and Shin thought his friend was crazy.In fact, the soldiers of the Fermoza Kingdom also looked shocked by the reaction shown by their opponent.“If the Fermoza War General hadn't cheated, there's no way he would have been killed by our War Commander. You guys are so weird!” Ben said, sounding annoyed.Apparently, Ben's words had succeeded in making the remaining enemy troops fall silent.Reiner added, “Anyone knows that a duel between two people has clear rules. If they decide not to use weapons, everyone must obey them. But, the fact is that Fabian Fermoza broke it.”“That’s right, so it wasn't wrong for our War Commander to kill him. It was an act of self-preservation,” another class one soldier continued.The enemy troops still seemed unable to accept it. One of them spoke up, “But, your commander killed a War General just to save a lowly soldier. How can their status be equalized? They are of different levels. They-”“Shut your mouth!
James' question instantly made Alen realize something. He immediately understood that he had almost spoken about something he shouldn't have. Now, all his fellow soldiers were looking at him with curious eyes. Oh, Alen wanted to sew up his own mouth that had put himself in such an unpleasant situation.“Hey, what's the matter? Tell me! Why are you keeping quiet?” James urged.Reiner also said, “Hm, but ... if it's a secret, you ... shouldn't tell us.”Alen suddenly turned to Reiner, the soldier who was Greg Sehel's potential replacement. In his opinion, Reiner was really quite wise. He was also sure that Reiner would become a great commander with charisma one day.But, unfortunately, another fellow soldier said, “Hey, you made a statement earlier. You ... made us very curious, Smith.”Alen sighed and tried to rack his brain for a safe answer. However, before he could do so, Riley said, “Did they ... I mean General Reece and Commander Sehel discuss my rescue attempt?”Alen gaped for
William Mackenzie was silent for a long time. However, Keannu Wellington waited patiently, as if to give William time to think.And in the end, Keannu heard William say, “Yes, Your Majesty. I will attend Greg Sehel's funeral.”Keannu sighed, relieved and happy that William would do what he wanted.Actually, the king with two children did not want to encourage William Mackenzie to harm Riley. Obviously this was very much different. He thought William's public appearance wouldn't bring any harm to Riley as long as no one knew Riley's true identity.So, Keannu added, “Don't worry! Riley's identity will remain safe and will not be known by anyone except those who already know. You know ... only members of the royal family and Andrew Reece know his real identity.”William nodded, not doubting at all about the truth of what Keannu said.Besides talking to William, the king also spoke to his three family members.“Actually, I still wonder why he had to hide his son's identity. If it's to pr
"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! The medical staff will help you soon," Riley ordered firmly.Ben shook his head, "How can I leave you alone against the main army? There are too many of them.""Reiner will

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. I ... I ....”“No problem, we'll leave you so you can be alo
Ben suddenly bowed his head.James immediately closed his eyes, completely unable to believe the painful reality that had slapped him.Meanwhile, Shin looked at his friend with a look of disappointment.He touched Ben's shoulder and asked, “You knew about this big secret and you ... did nothing? 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
Meanwhile, William also began to be confused to calm his wife who was crying more and more.However, Cassandra's crying finally stopped when she saw the operating room door open.Everyone also immediately stared at the door, waiting anxiously.As several people from the medical team came out, William and Cassandra walked over.“Doctor, how is my son?” William asked.The elderly doctor looked up at the middle-aged man who was staring at him anxiously.“General Mackenzie,” the doctor greeted after he noticed William's face.William nodded, “Yes, Doctor Sigmund. It's me.”Sigmund was surprised, “Riley Wood, I mean General Wood is ... your son, General?”“Yes, Doctor,” William replied.James just stared blankly ahead, as if he was ready to hear that statement. Meanwhile, Reiner and the other soldiers could only squeal in shock as an important fact had j
