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

    With an expression without feeling guilty for making the young man curious, Mary shrugged, “Oh, I'm sorry, Riley. I couldn't tell you.”Riley let out a disappointed sigh, “Well, I'll find out soon enough, right?”Mary blinked in surprise. “Have you given up?”“Weren't you the one who asked me to give up? Oh my!” Riley shook his head and walked away leaving Mary stunned at the young man's departure.The girl commented, “He will definitely be a very disciplined soldier.”She nodded confidently, “Otherwise, how could he easily forget his curiosity? Hm, he really does resemble his father.”She smiled faintly and left the area as well.Exactly two days later, as promised by Janice Grow and Mary Kesley, Andrew Reece had already obtained all the lists of prospective soldiers who had been discharged before the war between the Kingdom of Ans De Lou and the Kingdom of Fermoza broke out.The man quickly compiled a new list according to the records obtained. It didn't take long for him to order

    “Greco! Is that really Diego Greco?” James said with a tone of almost disbelief at what he was seeing with his pair of clear eyes.Alen himself was gaping at Diego's arrival who finally arrived at their place and immediately jumped towards him.Diego first hugged Alen who was still as still as a statue and then turned to hug Riley while patting his shoulder, “I saw the news on television. You're really great, Riley.”Before Diego could respond, the young man had already released his hug on Riley. He turned to James who was staring at him without batting an eye. Diego smiled at the young man and hugged James.“You're great too, James. Oh, no. Actually, all of the Ans De Lou Kingdom's troops are great,” Diego said, sounding sincere.After hugging his three roommates first, Diego released James and looked at his friends one by one. “Wow, you guys look so cool and dashing in those uniforms. I'm so envious of you three,” Diego said with an admiring smile.However, when he realized that h

    Riley suddenly fell silent. His forehead was furrowed and James knew that his best friend was thinking about his words. Meanwhile, Alen immediately responded, “Hey, don't think too far like that!”James snorted, “I'm just thinking logically. If there is no big problem like a war that might be threatening, why would the palace summon all the soldiers who have failed the test?”Alen sighed tiredly, “To get ready perhaps, James.”James still wasn't too sure and was now looking closely at the lineup arrangement of the prospective soldiers. He caught a glimpse of Jason Hoult who had failed.He let out a long sigh, “To be honest, I'm happy to see Greco and the candidates who have good potential like Hoult, but this makes me think seriously.”Riley, who had been thinking about it finally, responded, “I don't think this decision has anything to do with the war.”“Well, I was right, wasn't I?” Alen said with a lopsided smile, seemingly satisfied that Riley was also thinking casually like him

    “Don't be stupid, Alen! Everyone heard it too. Otherwise, how could everyone look surprised and confused now?” James replied in an exasperated tone.Alen reluctantly agreed to James' words. But, when he really cast his gaze around himself, he found that so many soldiers were talking about the matter. Not only that, even the officials were busy talking to each other until Mary Kesley raised her voice a little to calm things down. Riley sighed, “I don't know what's going on, but ... perhaps General Reece has his own difficulties so he was forced to withdraw now.” Alen suddenly went limp. The young man remembered something.“Maybe ... it's related to the wound,” Alen said in a quiet tone. James once again turned his head towards Alen, “Indeed, is the wound very severe? Hey, but he looks fine.”Alen shook his head, “I'm one of the medical staff who participated in treating his wound and ... indeed the wound is very severe, there is some damage ....”Alen swallowed hard as if unable to

    Unexpectedly, Riley casually replied, “James is brave, Alen. You also know how he faced the enemy troops.”Alen frowned, “I know. But ... I mean if James is in the class two place, shouldn't you also be in the same class as him, Riley?”Riley shook his head firmly, “I made some mistakes.”“Which mistakes? You ....”“I caused the death of one of this kingdom's best commanders, Alen.”“No, you didn't. It wasn't your fault, you just-”“It was one of my carelessness in being so slow to understand the possible actions of War General Fermoza. And ... as a result of my carelessness Commander Sehel had to help me and eventually as you know ... he was killed protecting me,” Riley explained, laden with guilt that never left his head.Alen could not reply anymore.After all, everything Riley said was a fact and there was no way he could argue with that.Meanwhile, the dazed James Gardner began to walk towards the waiting king of Ans De Lou Kingdom, Keannu Wellington.The young man who then stood

    Xylan instead immediately gave his sister a strange look.Rowena who instead of getting no answer but that annoying look suddenly snorted, “Well, you're the crown prince. Father must have talked to you about it, right?”Xylan let out a long breath, feeling rather annoyed with his older sister's attitude. “Why do you think father would discuss this matter with me, sister?” Rowena held back her impatience and replied, “Oh my goodness. You are the future king of this country, replacing father in the future. The matter of appointing a new war general should also pertain to you.”Xylan shook his head, “Not so. You really don't remember how old I am right now, Sis?”Rowena did not answer.“I'm still fifteen, only turning sixteen in three months. How can I be involved in such an important matter?”Rowena was still reluctant to reply. The princess, who was wearing an ankle-length, long-sleeved violet dress, rolled her eyes lazily. She seemed to feel no need to listen to the explanation of

    "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.

    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
