"What? How is that possible?" Riley said in disbelief.

Mary Kesley once again looked around her and after making sure that no one had actually seen them, the young girl immediately took Riley's hand and led him to an unguarded place.

Riley, who was still very confused, couldn't help but immediately asked Mary, "So, how did you do it?"

Mary sighed, "We can't be here for long, so I'll just get to the point."

Riley also listened carefully.

"My mother and your father used to be good friends. My mother was Amanda Clark, who used to be a palace secretary," Mary said.

Mary then asked, "Have you ever heard my mother's name? Did your father ever mention my mother's name?"

Riley nodded quickly, "When my father returned to the palace, the only people who knew him were Andrew Reece and Amanda Clark. She was also the one who gave my father the name 'Bill Stewart'."

Mary smiled, "It's great that you have such a good memory, Young Master Mackenzie."

Riley cleared his throat being called that

    William shook his head, "No. He doesn't want to imitate me, I know that for sure. It's just ... I think he has also fallen in love with the world of war, I mean as if it is something he wants to pursue. An ideal or dream , maybe it's more like that." Amanda immediately held her throbbing head. She felt dizzy but she did want to let this matter unsolve."At that time you were able to fake my identity without anyone knowing. This time you can definitely do it, right?" William asked.The woman, who was only a few years younger than William, nodded, "Of course. How could it not be?" "I am the one who knows you now. Andrew Reece who becomes war general now does not know anything about you," Amanda continued.William sighed. He knew that Amanda would help him."Mary, come here!" Amanda called. Mary, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation, came out of her room and walked over. Well, she knew William Mackenzie a lot. That was from her mom and her dad. Besides, she also red much abo

    Mary Kesley smiled regretfully, "I apologize. I couldn't interfere with the placement of the room at all. If I interfered, I was afraid people would get suspicious."Riley Mackenzie replied, "It's not your fault. I understand about it."Mary let out a long sigh, "But, don't worry. Even though you share a room with him, when it comes to practice and test schedules, it's unlikely that you'll be in the same group.""Unless you're really unlucky," Mary added.Riley only smiled faintly in response.About a week later, or rather in their third week at the Ans De Lou Royal palace, Riley was stunned to see his name listed in a group with James Gardner one row above his name.They had not yet reached the public building where they ate their meals. They were still in the vicinity of the park not far from Rowena Wellington's residence."It turns out I'm really unlucky," Riley muttered quietly.Alen and Diego who also read the announcement immediately looked at each other."Take it easy, you'll be

    Looking at Riley who was just silent, James smiled wryly and then he bumped part of his body with Riley's body and then said, "You're just like the others. Only seeing things from one side."After that, James walked away from Riley."Where are you going?"James did not answer him. Riley yelled out to him, "James.""Where are you going?" Riley repeated."None of your business, Wood." James replied without stopping walking or even looking at Riley.Riley didn't give up so easily and started walking at a half run after James. "Stop walking, James Gardner!"James was still ignoring Riley, so Riley said quickly, "Practice starts soon.""I don't care," James still refused to stop walking and continued to stride with wide steps."We're in a group." Riley said hurriedly.It made James stop walking and turn around. "What did you say, we're in a group?"It worked. Riley wanted to cheer inwardly."Yes. How did it go? Do you still want to go?" Riley asked.James was silent."Are you sure you're g

    Riley didn't say any more words, but he heard Diego quip, "Isn't it fun cleaning up after the man who killed your father?"James just gripped the side of the table, not wanting to get punished again if he hit Diego. Riley then responded, "Diego, I don't think this is something worth discussing."Diego just shrugged his shoulders, still not really caring and instead smiled annoyingly at James.Alen, who now wanted to be more of a neutral party, who didn't want to side with either James or Diego, simply mediated by saying, "Alright, we better get ready. We'll be entering the training building soon."That interested James so much that he turned to Riley, "Wood, what are we training for?""Unarmed physical training," Riley replied.Hearing Riley's answer, James smiled, "Then you have to be careful with me, Wood."Riley rolled his eyes, but he didn't reply to James.James said, "I'm pretty good at fighting without weapons, just so you know. I even won a few awards in the championship in th

    Riley separated himself from James and chose the southern area to train. Meanwhile, James chose the northern area as if the two people were on opposite sides.When practicing, the prospective soldiers wear short-sleeved shirts and lightweight pants that allow them to move freely. However, when the fight began, they would change costumes according to their branch. For unarmed free martial arts, they would wear additional armor.Riley had already started stretching his muscles and started doing less extreme movements to maintain his energy.When he had been practicing for about thirty minutes, someone approached, "Hey, you're Riley Wood, right?"Riley, who was doing a headstand, slowly returned his position and turned to the person asking him, "Yeah. What's up?""I'm Warren Clay," the young man said as he stretched his hand.Riley welcomed his hand and then asked, "Which dorm are you from?""3. Can I come and train here?" Warren asked back.Riley nodded, "Go ahead. Anyone can train here

    "If it wasn't for you being ranked number one, I wouldn't say that," Warren retorted.He spat before leaving Riley who could only let out a long sigh. Some people were watching him, but Riley chose not to care about their responses.The young man continued practicing.Meanwhile, Warren Clay, who did not get his wish, walked towards his friends."I heard your scream. Is there a problem?" Simon asked with a furrowed brow.Warren replied in an exasperated tone, "That snob said he didn't need money. Huh, what the hell? I've never even heard of his family name. 'Wood', what businessman with that name? I don't think there's any businessman with that surname.""That's true. But, seeing how he behaves, he's probably an idealistic person who's hard to work with, Warren," Leonard said after he took off his sweat-soaked shirt.Warren sighed in exasperation, then looked at his two friends. "Never mind, I don't want to talk about that jerk."The man looked depressed until Leonard said, "Calm down,

    "Blimey, Wood. You're here, of course, to make us both more eager to compete," James retorted with his deadly grin.However, Riley Mackenzie did not seem to be affected. With a lazy expression, the young man said, "I'm not interested at all."James instantly put on a disappointed face, "Why is that? I haven't even mentioned the prize if you win from me Wood. You hurt me.""Don't talk so much! I don't need a prize anyway. Never mind, let's get it over with, James." Riley said as he turned to the match referee.James snorted in annoyance, but he still replied, "Fine. But, you lose. Just so you know."Riley ignored his words and instead nodded at the referee, indicating he was ready."James Gardner, are you ready?" the referee asked.James quickly adjusted his position and turned his head, "Yes, I'm ready."The unnamed referee said, "Okay. The rules remain the same, whoever manages to make their opponent cross the line and can't fight back wins."Riley and James nodded, understanding the

    James did not reply to Riley's words and instead grinned widely. The next second, the young man who had hair slightly covering his eyes turned the tables by slamming Riley with unexpected speed.Riley was wide-eyed in shock but when James intended to use his right elbow to hold Riley, Riley managed to roll over and get up quickly.James stared with a surprised expression. "You're ...."James' words could not be finished because he saw Riley jump slightly and then lunged at him, knocking him down. Riley was breathing heavily looking at the young man who had confused him earlier.Blood dripped from James' nose as he looked at Riley, still with an expression that was hard to explain.There was shock, astonishment, awe and confusion all mixed together in James' eyes.But, he was even more surprised when Riley didn't attack him anymore. However, he chuckled, understanding why Riley had stopped attacking him."You beat me," James said in a strange tone while observing the floor where he had

    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

    It didn't take long for James Gardner to understand everything. In fact, afterward he saw Alen Smith greeting the woman and middle-aged man who were obviously a married couple. “Alen, Alen. You're … a medical staff, aren't you?” Cassandra asked the young man she had already met.“Riley will be fine. Isn't he?” Cassandra said frantically.Alen nodded, “You don't need to worry, Mrs. Mackenzie. We will do our best to save Riley.”James was still silent where he stood. Alen's words had explained everything. Alen, one of his best friends, also knew everything that happened. James closed his eyes for a few seconds and chose to hold himself still.The young man took hold of the edge of Riley's bed and helped him to push again. He then said softly, “Alen, hurry up a bit!”Alen was immediately surprised and looked guiltily at James as if he already knew what James was feeling. However, he did not have time to say anything and quickly went about his duties while asking people not to come
