"Monica, you know how great he is right?" Keannu replied even more annoyed. "Well, no matter how great he is, if you can't control him, it's useless, right?" Monica said. Keannu immediately made a move, ordering all his bodyguards and servants to get out of the way. Gosh, his mood really got worse after he heard his wife's words. Monica let out a long sigh, the young queen looked sorry for her husband. "Then, what exactly did he do?" "He just criticised my way of winning." "What kind of way?" Monica asked. Keannu was very open with his wife. He told his queen everything. There was not a single secret he hid from Monica Wilhelm. So, this time he didn't hesitate at all when he told her, "I found out an interesting piece of information about the crown prince of the Maldiva Kingdom and it's a scandal. I intend to use this to threaten the King of Maldiva." Monica nodded, easily understanding the story quickly. "Oh, I see and that arrogant general disagrees? Is that what he criticiz
"Sorry, Your Majesty. Forgive me if I have been presumptuous. But, this is my first time meeting you," Bill said. Monica frowned, a little unsure. There was no way she had the wrong person. This person standing not far from her was definitely that person. The person she had met a few years ago. Uh, it was so long ago, but the old incident was a common occurrence and she easily forgot about it. So, she was sure she could not have recognized the wrong person. In fact, the person's face had not changed. There was no significant change at all. "No, no. You're wrong, we've met before. It was at ....." The woman could not continue and soon realised she was not alone with Bill. So many bodyguards and servants were around them. If she made a wrong move, tomorrow's unpleasant gossip could spread throughout the palace. Her good reputation could be damaged and she did not want that to happen. For Monica Wilhelm, her position and reputation in front of the public was certainly the most impo
"There's something I need to discuss with him," Bill replied, putting an end to any questions Andrew might have asked. Andrew didn't dare ask any more questions after seeing the general's face looking so unkind. Bill once again checked all the equipment and afterwards made some important notes. The next morning, exactly two days before they were to attack the kingdom of Maldiva, Bill met the war general after getting the permission obtained with Andrew's help. "I didn't realize that Andrew Reece had turned into your loyal servant," Jody quipped as Bill entered his private residence. Bill was being satirised and he replied casually, "Ever since I entered this palace, Andrew Reece has been the one who has helped me the most in various ways." "Hm, of course I can see that." Jody's gaze looked unfriendly but since he and his war advisor had to work together this time then he tried to suppress his ego for the time being. "So, what did you have to say this morning?" Jody asked. "Ab
Keannu unburdenedly replied, "Of course. I've thought about what the future holds." "Are you sure?" Monica asked, clearly doubtful of her husband's words. "You doubt my word, darling?" A smile appeared on the queen's lips, "I don't know if this is a doubt or not. But one thing is for sure, I know you somehow." Keannu Wellington replied with a small chuckle but it was enough to prove that what was inside Monica's head was a little bit of the truth. "You must have thought of getting rid of one of them, right?" Monica guessed. Keannu Wellington stopped his laughter and looked at his wife intently, before replying with another chuckle that now sounded even more unpleasant to hear. The queen did not return the laughter and only stared at her husband curiously so the young king immediately replied, "You are indeed very suitable to be my wife, my queen." Monica bit her lower lip and looked away, "Isn't the reason you married me because I can understand your thoughts? I'm famous for g
Cassandra widened her eyes, "Grandpa." Arthur walked over and intended to touch Cassandra's hand, but the woman firmly jerked the bodyguard's hand away. Cassandra was too shocked at what was happening. She still found it hard to believe that her grandfather would do such a thing to her, his biological granddaughter. "Cassie. Obey or-" "Or what, Grandpa? Marry me off to another man?" Cassandra interrupted as she took a few steps back. She shook her head, looking so hurt. "Don't be stubborn, Cassie!" Christopher snapped. "Arthur, what are you waiting for?" George said, ordering his grandfather's men back. Cassandra gave her brother a disappointed look and turned her head back to her grandfather, "Why, Grandpa? What did I do wrong?" "Don't listen to her, Grandpa! Just get over there!" Shirley cut in quickly, not wanting to give her sister a chance to avoid their grandfather's punishment. Cassandra really didn't understand. These three people near her were her family. They shared
Bill's words made Shirley tremble, somehow they managed to make her so scared. Indeed, since the man disappeared and then reappeared in the family Bill's aura looked very much different. However, only once did she feel the fear that broke her heart. But that didn't happen to Christopher Wood who had a very hard heart and a pretty bad temper. Rather than feeling fear, the man was so angry that he felt humiliated to have been threatened by his useless grandson-in-law. The old man snarled angrily, "Who do you think you are to threaten your grandfather-in-law, you brat?" "You're so arrogant to even have a job!" Christopher added, seemingly unable to control his anger at all. The veins in his neck were even visible as he shouted angrily. However, Bill didn't have time to reply because he was more busy taking his wife to the hospital. Luckily for Bill, Andrew wasn't too far from the Wood family home. The young man who was currently wearing his sunglasses due to the intense heat of
A strange smile immediately appeared on the lips of the handsome young king. A face that made Monica Wilhelm, who initially had no intention of marrying someone she didn't like, agree to accept his proposal. However, this time Monica looked so astonished by her husband's attitude which she thought was becoming more and more. She was not unaware of her husband's true nature who was not a king with a cool personality, but she still found it difficult to accept the bad side of her husband on this one. Slowly, Keannu turned that strange smile into a lopsided grin that was clearly meant to be insulting. The one being insulted was, of course, William Mackenzie whom the two were discussing. "He just lives in his wife's family. A burden to that family. How disgusting." Keannu paused with a small laugh before resuming his words. "Can you imagine that? The most powerful war general ever in the Ans De Lou Kingdom is in fact considered a loser in his wife's extended family," Keannu taunted
The queen of the Ans De Lou kingdom, Monica Wilhelm gave up because there was no way she could fix or thwart what her husband was up to. Keannu Wellington was the most stubborn person she had ever known in her life. If he already had a very strong desire, then no matter what he would definitely try hard to get it. Even if it meant using dirty tricks. Moreover, he was now a king who had power that could be said to be unlimited, so his desires would no longer be unstoppable. So, without wanting to try anymore Monica chose to immediately leave Keannu and go to her own residence. She waited for the arrival of William Mackenzie who was certain to return to the palace even with a compulsion. "Bring the War Advisor here tonight," Keannu ordered while still holding the glass containing the intoxicating drink. Frederick, a young man not much older than Keannu, bowed slowly. However, he suddenly heard Keannu say again, "If you can't bring yesterday, your life is at stake!" The man who was

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
