Riley had a hard time answering James' question so the young man remained silent.

However, someone suddenly replied, “James, if you think General Mackenzie sent his son here to compete with you, you are very wrong.”

“Wrong? How come?” James replied as he turned to Alen.

Riley was quite surprised to hear his best friend's defense. He never expected Alen to do that.

Alen sighed, “Oh please, James. You know that even if the son doesn't use his father's surname, it's obvious that this matter of sending the son to the palace has nothing to do with you.”

The young man paused for a moment and glanced at Riley, and then continued to say, “In fact, I highly doubt that he knows you are here as well.”

Alen frowned but James was still listening as if he knew that Alen had not finished speaking.

“I mean ... no one even knows about your father having a son, information about you is not included in General Gardner's biography. So, I think it's highly unlikely that General Mackenzie knew about you.

    James Gardner was silent long enough for Riley Mackenzie to become increasingly uncomfortable.James, come on, don't make me feel worse, Riley thought.After a long silence while staring blankly, the young man who was shorter in height than Riley finally said, “It's ... quite a complicated matter. So complicated that I don't know how to tell you.”He then smiled sadly and added, “But … no problem, now I can visit him.”Riley swallowed hard, not knowing how to respond to James' words. His guilt hit his chest again and this time it all kept him silent.Oh, why did James have to have the last name “Gardner”? Riley wondered again.If only James' father was just a soldier who was killed and not Jody Gardner, he would have been able to immediately comfort the grieving James.Unfortunately, his father was Jody Gardner whose death was related to his father's so he had a hard time coming up with words of comfort. In fact, just to express his sorrow he could not do it. Alen, who was still sta

    Alen suddenly looked down deeply. He suddenly became sad again. The young man took a deep breath before exhaling slowly and turned to Riley again.With a sad look he said, “They're really worried about you, Riley. They even argued about who should save you.”Riley bit his lower lip and looked down for an instant.“They didn't want you to get hurt, so they decided that one of them should go find you. At that time they told me that you were ... the son of General Mackenzie and they also told me that ....”Alen stopped speaking as his tears fell again. He did not know why the loss was so painful.But, for sure he was having a hard time holding back his sadness. He steeled himself and said, “They asked me to help you hide your true identity.”Riley was stunned.The young man shook his head, finding it hard to take it all in. Alen touched his shoulder, “It's not your fault. They ... are just trying to protect you and I ... will do as they ask.”“You don't have to worry, Riley! Your secret

    James, who was stared at with a gawking expression, immediately shifted his direction of view and lowered his head, avoiding Alen's gaze.The young man said softly, “Damn it! You have to pretend you didn't see me like this, Smith!”Alen snorted softly and walked over to the sobbing young man. He patted James' shoulder gently and said, “I didn't see you cry, so don't worry!”James wiped away his tears and looked back at his father's grave with eyes that were still a little bit wet.Alen glanced at the young man in a different way.Usually James always displayed a flat, cold and haughty expression. The young man seemed to have thorns around him that made others reluctant to approach.However, what he saw this time was not a young man like that. He saw an ordinary young man who could be sad when facing something painful. Hearing his conversation with Riley earlier, he thought there might be a prohibition coming from James' mother's side to visit his father's funeral. But, again, it was

    The bewildered Alen heard James say again, “Oh, no. No, you don't. You really don't have to worry about me, Dad. They're very good to me, they won't betray me, I'm sure.”Alen was even more dumbfounded. The young man blinked his eyes repeatedly to try to get rid of his discomfort. But, still he didn't feel good at all.While he was still extremely confused, James looked over to him with a furrowed brow and narrowed eyes. “What's wrong?” Alen asked quickly.James let out a long breath, “I called you earlier. Didn't you hear that?”Alen gaped, “Huh? When?”James rolled his eyes lazily and immediately got up from where he was kneeling. He then pulled Alen's arm and told him to come closer. “Huh, w-what do you want to do?” Alen asked stammeringly as he turned his head towards the back where James was standing at attention.“Geez, Smith. I just asked you to talk to my dad for a minute. You're ....” James shook his head, looking rather annoyed that Alen was actually not listening to him

    James Gardner replied without turning to Alen, “Why should we take another way? It would be a waste of time.”Alen swallowed harshly, “But, James. There's ....”“I know, so what, what did I do wrong to avoid him?” James said, who still did not turn to his friend.However, Alen did not want to give up. Nervously he said again, “You don't have anything wrong, but you-”“Never mind, Alen. I'm not afraid of him and shouldn't he be the one feeling uncomfortable?”Alen was silent, at a loss for an answer.James finally turned his head and looked at Alen straight, “He's the one who made a child born and grow up without a father. Shouldn't he feel guilty for that?”Hearing James' words that were full of pent-up emotions finally made Alen completely give up. He couldn't hold James back and he didn't want James to go even crazier if he denied him.“Come on, we have to get to the dorm quickly, Riley must be waiting for us,” James said.Alen had just realized one thing, and that was the way James

    After James finished speaking in a cold tone but with a gaze that held such wounds, William immediately fell silent. He would have rather heard the young man yelling at him and cursing at him than that look that made him feel guilty.“James,” Alen called in a low tone.Andrew said, “James, watch what you say!”James shifted his gaze from William to Andrew, “Why, General Reece? What I'm saying is the truth. It was indeed General Mackenzie who killed my father.”Andrew bit his teeth, “But ... you can't talk in that tone to-”“Why not? I am not demanding retribution for my father's death from General Mackenzie. What I am asking is why General Mackenzie can be so very calm as if he doesn't have the slightest guilt towards me. He-”“General Mackenzie only did what he was supposed to do, James. You should know what we were dealing with back then.” Andrew explained in the hope that James would immediately shut up.Unfortunately, James was not one to give in easily when talking to someone, A

    James gave a small nod. However, when he saw the surprised expression on Riley's face he hastily added, “Oh, I should have known something like this could happen, Riley.”James scratched the back of his head which was still wet and continued, “After all this palace is not as big as the ocean, of course the possibility of me meeting him is quite big too.”He shrugged his shoulders and smiled a little, while Riley was still speechless as if a lot of things had suddenly popped into his head.James let out a long sigh, “I'm a bit overreacting I guess. You ... don't have to think about it, Riley. I'm fine. It's just that I'm ....”“It's just what, James?” Riley quickly asked, wanted to know more.While Alen could only hold his breath, not daring to interrupt for fear that he would misspeak.Riley swallowed and looked into James' eyes. The young man finally ventured to say, “Are you sure you're okay?”James snorted, “You don't believe me, Riley?”“How can you be okay when you met someone wh

    “I'm very sure, Your Majesty,” Andrew said in a confident tone.Keannu looked skeptical so Andrew had to reassure the king by saying, “This way will make the people of Ans De Lou happy.”Keannu's eyes widened, “Really? Explain to me how!”Andrew Reece, the war general of the Ans De Lou Kingdom nodded enthusiastically. He explained in detail about the way in just a few sentences, but it made Keannu smile widely.The king with two children nodded and now looked much more excited, “That's a good method. When will you summon them, General?”“After the day of mourning is over, Your Majesty,” Andrew replied.Keannu nodded his head once, “Alright, I'll give the official order for that right away. And you ... can summon them according to the list of soldiers who you think do meet our criteria.”“Yes, Your Majesty,” Andrew said as he was finally able to release one burden on his shoulders, namely the problem related to the number of royal soldiers whose numbers were reduced a lot due to the w

    "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

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.
