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
“I also never thought that she would be that determined. Oh my! What is she thinking?” Monica who stood up said without blinking an eye.The Queen was very surprised seeing her daughter’s way to show her affection.Her eyes were still looking straight at her daughter who was still reluctant to let go of her embrace on Riley. Meanwhile, Xylan, the young prince could only shake his head, “My sister seems to have become infatuated with General Mackenzie's son, Mother.”Not long after, the fifteen-year-old youth added, “Perhaps you should arrange their marriage soon, Dad before ... it's too late.”Keannu turned his head towards his son, “Too late, how do you mean, Xylan?”“Hm, Father. You ... must know that ... Rowena is sometimes beyond prediction. She ....” Xylan shrugged, unable to tell his father what he was thinking.However, Keannu had understood the meaning of his son's words and the king who still looked handsome at more than half a century old sighed softly.“You're right, Xylan.
