While Reiner was already looking rather irritated, the other two war commanders also shared Reiner's frustration.

Meanwhile, James himself was still pensive as if he was confused. However, it was different with Riley. The young man still looked calm and Andrew just watched the son of the legend carefully without interfering in the slightest.

“I'll try to discuss it with them,” Riley said suddenly.

James immediately turned to his friend, “You mean you want to negotiate with them? Is there any way they'd be willing to do that?”

“I don't know, but it's one of the better ways to go about it than starting an attack right away,” Riley explained.

Joseph gulped, “Are you sure about it?”

Riley looked at Joseph and then nodded, “It's not a matter of being sure or not, but it's more of a way to avoid war and ... even if this method fails, at least we still have time to prepare our troops.”

Reiner suddenly winked, seemingly amazed by the strategy Riley had chosen, “Wow! That's good.”

    Michael Hellfric waited for James' reply.Come on, hit me first and I swear I'll hit you back with more painful blows. This is for the sake of my uncle who was killed by your father! Michael thought to himself.However, Michael's hopes could not be realized. Instead of hitting Michael with an outburst of emotion, James gave him a casual smile.This left Michael dumbfounded.James sighed softly, “I know, the inauguration as deputy war general is curious. But ... you should know one thing, Mr. Hellfric.”Michael raised his right eyebrow, looking wary as James walked closer to him and then hunched his shoulders.The young man continued, “King Keannu knew from the beginning that I was the son of Jody Gardner, a war general who was labeled a traitor in this country.”“However, he still gave me the opportunity to prove my worth and this is the result ... I was chosen as deputy war general,” James said as he touched the label on his military uniform.Michael was silent, as if confused by Jam

    James sighed softly, but still seemed reluctant to answer. Meanwhile, Shin apparently still had high curiosity so he asked again, “It's been three years. Have you given up on finding him?”Ben saw James' complicated expression. The young man quickly responded to his friend's words, “Shin, what's wrong with you? It's all in the past. How could a deputy war general have time to think about such matters?”He chuckled but apparently no one was laughing with him so he returned to shutting his mouth tightly as he began to realize that the tension around him was getting serious. Meanwhile, Reiner who was actually very curious but didn't want to make James dig into the past again said, “You've been here and achieved many things, James. You're ... not just an ordinary soldier, but you're a deputy war general who has helped win this kingdom several wars.”“Your service to this kingdom is great. You ... wouldn't possibly destroy all those efforts and achievements just because of that past, wou

    Riley turned to James and said, “I'll go there alone.”Reiner and the other two war commanders gaped in shock, while James firmly said, “No. You're not. Are you out of your mind?”“This is one way we can find out what they really want,” Riley replied.James shook his head and got up from his chair with an angry expression. “We already know their purpose for invading our kingdom. It's clear that they want to take control of part of our kingdom. So, what else should we investigate? Isn't the most important thing to defeat them?” James said in exasperation.If James already looked emotional like that, almost no one would dare to oppose him. He was still very young and everyone in the room was older than him, except Riley.But, the fact was that they knew that whatever the young man who served as a deputy general of war said was mostly the truth.However, Riley was not like other people who just stayed silent when James was angry, so calmly the young man who was only one year older than

    “I can't, General,” Reiner replied in a formal tone.Riley called him by his title which meant that the youngest war general was exercising his authority so he had to behave the same way towards him.Riley sighed, “I have to go there. This is to save our kingdom.”Reiner remained adamant, “Then why don't you talk to the deputy war general, General?”Riley exhaled harshly, “You heard yesterday that he doesn't agree.”“Me too. I don't agree with you going there alone either. That would be like handing yourself over to the enemy. Gosh, Riley, you're not that stupid, are you?” Reiner retorted.Riley fell silent.At the sight of Riley's silence, Reiner was stunned. He had just realized something.“Shit! Riley ... you went there on purpose to give yourself up, right? You knew that was going to happen and you were still determined to go there. You-”Reiner did not have time to finish his sentence because at the same time Riley hit him on the weak part of Reiner's body and slammed Reiner onto

    “If I could have prevented it, I would have,” Reiner said without the slightest attempt to detach himself from James.James gritted his teeth, “Why couldn't you prevent him?”“He slammed me to the ground. You know how capable he is, right? He's so fast that I couldn't predict he would attack me so suddenly like that,” Reiner explained guiltily.James shook his head firmly, “You ... why didn't you call for help? No yelling and-”“He tied me up, James. Do you think I would intentionally let him go?” Reiner asked by looking at James straight on.Reiner added, “And he covered my mouth with a cloth. He ... seemed to have anticipated that someone would want to stop him so he immediately knew what to do.”James felt his head throbbing violently. However, because the young man still didn't know what to do, he still gripped Reiner's collar as if by doing so he could blame Reiner for Riley's departure.“Are you that weak that you can't break free?” James asked again.Reiner sighed softly, “Is t

    “There's no need to argue like that,” a soldier with a tired expression said.As they fell silent, the young man who was a first-class soldier who had also been Riley's opponent for the title of war general, Josh Cleve, continued, “We shouldn't argue about something like this. All we have to do is fully support the deputy general's decision.”His friend who was also a first class soldier responded, “Josh, you ... don't hate him at all? He beat you, but why are you supporting him?”Josh looked surprised at his friend's words, “Why should I hate him? James ... or Riley can win over me because their skills are so much better than mine.”“Anyway, it's all been proven. They both deserve those two titles,” Josh added.After hearing all of Josh's words, not a single soldier commented on James Gardner's war strategy.Just before leaving to search for Riley and attack their enemy, James told Alen, “Whatever happens, you have to stay close to me, Alen. We ... don't know what might happen. If I g

    “SHIT!” Evan cursed with anger overwhelming him.The man kicked a large barrel, causing Riley, who had lost consciousness, to come to his senses.The young man tried to open his eyes although they were rather weak.He heard Evan shouting in annoyance, “How dare they attack us when their war general is here? Aren't they afraid we'll kill him?”Evan turned to Riley whose eyes had opened with an annoyed expression.Evan walked over to Riley and crouched down, “Did you hear what I said, Wood? Your deputy war general attacked us.”As if to spite Riley, he continued, “He doesn't care about your fate at all. Maybe he wanted you killed here, General Wood.”Evan thought that after listening to what he had said, Riley would be outraged. Instead, Riley smiled wryly and said, “He finally did it.”Evan frowned in astonishment, “What? What do you mean?”Riley, feeling energized, turned to Evan and looked at the man without fear. The young man smiled instead, “He made it out of his shell.”Evan st

    Alen immediately stepped aside according to James' orders without arguing. He hid behind a large statue and waited for James' next instruction.He would not do anything and just stand there while watching James' actions.Because he knew the situation was very critical and James was trying to save him from enemy attacks that might hit him.James quickly attacked Evan who was surprised by the agility of the young man who he guessed was the deputy war general of the Ans De Lou Kingdom.“General, retreat first!” one of Evan's men shouted who saw Evan starting to get overwhelmed against James.Evan shook his head firmly, “I will not retreat.”“But ... General, he-”“You ... go get help, I'll stay here to hold him off,” Evan said who again had to repeatedly dodge James' relentless attacks.In fact, he had thought that James might never get tired at all because of his relentless attacks.“General, come on! This won't work. He's ... too strong,” the soldier said in a panicked tone.Evan said,

    Hearing Gary Davis' answer, Xylan Wellington frowned.Is this really the same young man who always gives me good solutions? Xylan wondered.The future king looked deeper and deeper at Gary and finally raised his right eyebrow when he realized he had thought something stupid.More and more Xylan realized that Gary Davis might indeed be smart and dexterous and quite knowledgeable. But, such an intelligent person could also have an innocent nature like the young man had just shown himself."Your Highness, why don't you answer my question? Am I-""Forget it!" Xylan cut in quickly.Gary scratched behind his ear in confusion.Xylan sighed and said, "Gary, are you anxiously awaiting the announcement of the changes in staff and palace officials later?"Gary frowned, quite surprised by Xylan's question.The young man opened his mouth and stammered, "Your Royal Highness, I ... I'm just ...."Just by looking at Gary's expression, Xylan instantly knew that his guess was correct. The young man di

    "Of course it is. Otherwise, how could his café business be successful?" Diego said, who seemed to be satisfied with the results achieved by James, his best friend.Reiner became more interested, "How? I mean ... you know he's ... well, he can't be polite and he tends to annoy people. So, what did he change?"Diego looked like he was about to answer, but Shin suddenly said in an incredulous tone, "Oh, wait a minute. He manages the cafe business together with his mother, right? Uh, I'm sure the customers come to his place because of his nice mom."Ben nodded in agreement, "I've never met James' mother, but ... considering James is like that, I'll take Shin's word for it."Diego immediately put on a sour expression, looking rather annoyed. This was because his own friends apparently didn't know James very well.However, he was the one who was witness to how James had changed so much that he felt the need to set the record straight."Hey, I'm telling you seriously. James, who is the owne

    Alen did not immediately answer the question of his senior and good friend. He seemed to think for a moment before finally giving an answer, "It's like you don't know James.""What do you mean?" Shin replied while blinking.Alen snorted impatiently, "Shin, James is unpredictable. You must also know that sometimes he can do things that no one would ever think of. So, how can I guess what he might do?"Shin was stunned. The young man smiled wryly, "Damn, you're right about that. He is indeed unpredictable."In the end, the two people did not ask James any questions about what they discussed. When the funeral was over, they all returned to their respective places. However, not James Gardner. The young man who was the war general of Ans De Lou Kingdom at that time was seen walking towards Xylan Wellington's residence.Of course, this led to various speculations among most of the palace residents. It was not only the officials and staff of the palace who began to notice the irregularitie

    "It will, Diego," James replied."He can wait," James repeated with emphasis.Diego didn't seem convinced by James' answer.James was usually reluctant to go into too much detail about what he was thinking. However, Diego was one of his best friends so he didn't want to confuse his best friend.So, James said, "He's not an easy guy to beat, Diego. And ... there's one thing you need to know.""What's that?" Diego asked with one eyebrow raised."His own father, I mean General Mackenzie told me that his son ... will not die easily," James explained.Diego was so dumbfounded that he didn't dare reply.James was sure his job of explaining was done, but he still added, "If the greatest and most powerful general the Ans De Lou Kingdom has ever seen said that, then there's a very good chance that Riley is still alive out there."Diego was silent for a few moments.But then he said, "If General Mackenzie believes that, we have no right to doubt him.""You're right, Diego. Therefore, we just ha

    William's lips lifted upwards once again, forming a warm smile."James, without me explaining it, you ... must know it yourself, right?" William said softly.After that, the old man who was once the strongest soldier in the kingdom patted James on the back and then left James pensive.The young man swallowed hard. Suddenly he remembered all the things about Riley, more precisely their friendship that they had established since the beginning.All those memories came back. One of the memories that bothered him was when they were still not officially inducted into the army. At that time he was upset and made the stupid and desperate decision to attack the enemy as proof that he was different from his father. Then, the only person who really cared about him was Riley. He was the one who sacrificed himself to save him. At that time, he and Riley were both aspiring soldiers. Neither of them had the slightest experience on the battlefield. But, Riley was still looking for him.Uh, when he

    James Gardner nodded, "Yes, Your Royal Highness. May I do so?"Xylan Wellington quickly nodded, "Go, General Gardner. You can talk to him."James was grateful that Xylan did not hold him back."Thank you, Your Highness," James said as he quickly left the crown prince along with three first-class soldiers to guard him.Indeed, the three soldiers were certainly no match for him. However, he chose to trust the three of them.Luckily, it turned out that William Mackenzie who looked much older by a few years was also looking for him so their meeting did not encounter any obstacles."General Mackenzie," James greeted the father of his best friend respectfully.William Mackenzie smiled faintly and replied, "General Gardner."James nodded, "You … are you alright, General?"William returned a smile and said in a low tone, "How can I be fine when I have some problems, General Gardner?"James frowned, looking rather confused.Not wanting to riddle and confuse James, William quickly explained wit

    James suddenly gave Gardner a lopsided smile. He knew it was not easy being Xylan Wellington's shield. But, he really did not expect that the crown prince who he thought was so smart was also so innocent.His intelligence seemed to be inversely proportional to his knowledge in terms of understanding the world around him.However, he had already decided to replace Riley in order to make up for the few years of time he had wasted so he should try to be patient.Thus, he calmly replied, "You should start thinking about the matter of all of their opinions, Your Highness.""Why should I?" Xylan retorted, who did not seem to accept James' words.James bit his lower lip, feeling the need to suppress his irritation even more. Come on, James. Don't give up so easily! James thought to himself."Because you are the future king and will soon inherit the throne of this country. So, you should start thinking about what they think of you," James replied.Xylan was about to reply, but James was fas

    The indecision on Xylan Wellington's face was evident. James Gardner, who felt that he had succeeded in making the crown prince realize the big mistake Xylan was about to make, called out, "Your Highness."Xylan flinched slightly when he heard his name being called by James.The young man turned to James, but still did not open his mouth.At that moment, James Gardner was certain that Xylan would change the decision they had just discussed.However, he suddenly saw Xylan smiling at him. That of course made James blink his eyes in confusion.But, within seconds, his confusion was answered. He heard Xylan say, "General Gardner, what you said is true. Everything is right. I ... might get some opposition for choosing Gary Davis as the king's advisor."He nodded. James immediately got a bad feeling that he didn't want to imagine."But, General Gardner. I have found no other good candidate than Gary Davis for that position. And ...."He paused for a moment, seemingly thinking about somethi

    "Yes, that's right. My personal assistant who ... is currently outside the door of my father's residence," Xylan replied, not seeming to find anything strange about his answer.James was still so shocked that he was left speechless, at a loss for what to say in response to Xylan's explanation."Why, General Gardner?" Xylan asked as he looked at James who was not speaking.James moistened his lower lip, still thinking of the right words.However, Xylan couldn't wait for him so he spoke again, "General Gardner, I know what you're thinking."James blinked his eyes, looking stunned.Xylan let out a long breath, "This must be the status of Gary Davis who is my personal assistant, right?"James' eyes widened slightly until he then looked at the crown prince with an astonished look.That's what I mean, why would you even think of making a personal assistant an advisor to the king?
