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
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
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
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
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
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
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

Actually it was not only Doris Tan who found it hard to believe what Xylan had decided. However, his three fellow bodyguards also felt the same way.In fact, the images of the three's expressions were very clear from just one look. Especially Jim Chesnut who looked so shocked at Xylan's words. His mouth even opened wide and he forgot to close it again. "Y-Your Majesty, I'm very confused. I ... I-""Doris Tan," Xylan cut Doris off with a stern tone.Doris fell silent, as if knowing that Xylan would soon explain the viceroy's reasoning. Sure enough, it wasn't long before Xylan said, "Hm, you ... did do the right thing by admitting your mistake."He paused for a few seconds, deliberately to give Doris time to calm down before he continued what he wanted to say.When Doris seemed much calmer, Xylan continued, "However, you did it in the wrong way."Ludos Flee frowned, looking confused. Meanwhile, Jim Chesnut looked thoughtful as he squinted slightly.What's wrong? Jim wondered to himsel
In fact, Xylan Wellington never cared about what the people in his palace said. He tended to ignore the gossip about him.In fact, there was once a time when there was a visit from another kingdom, at which time Xylan was asked by his father to greet one of the princes. However, he who was not very good at socializing actually made the king's son from the other kingdom uncomfortable. As a result, there was a bit of a commotion at that time. Xylan was accused of being rude to the prince so that the prince did not feel at home in Ans De Lou Kingdom and ended up leaving the palace sooner than he should have.The situation in the palace was a bit chaotic. Many people considered Xylan to be totally at fault for causing an important cooperation to fail. However, the young man did not care at all and never explained anything.His father, King Keannu at that time also never asked his son and instead seemed to tolerate Xylan's behavior. But, King Keannu had a good reason: he knew his son's ch
Ronald was a little surprised by the king's sudden words. Although it was very natural for Xylan Wellington, the new young king of his country to give an order to anyone, including him.Xylan had indeed given him orders, but only as ordinary orders when he was still a crown prince.And that time the situation seemed different. Because, that day was the first day Xylan gave him an order after Xylan assumed the title of king. So, it was obvious that the serious tone of the order made Ronald a little nervous. Even though he didn't know the king's orders yet, he still replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. I am ready to accept your orders."Xylan said again, "Then prepare yourself because you will be going outside the palace."Of course the order shocked Ronald even more, "What's going on, Your Majesty? Have I made a mistake that you are angry with me? Then, then ... you want to throw me out of the palace."Ronald's body began to tremble slightly. The young man was very frightened if what he was th
Not knowing how to answer, he thought for a while."I-I dare not give my opinion, Your Majesty," Ronald said in the end.Suddenly, Xylan was dissatisfied. The young man exhaled harshly, seemingly displeased with Ronald's answer. Xylan coldly said, "Your king is asking you a question and you refuse to answer?""You want to defy me, Ronald?" Xylan continued.Ronald hurriedly knelt before Xylan with his head bowed deeply. He swallowed hard, realizing that the viceroy was angry with him. He immediately regretted having made the foolish mistake of not answering the king's question.The young squire stammered, "I beg your forgiveness, Your Majesty."Xylan remained silent, reluctant to reply to Ronald as his temper was rising."Your Majesty, I didn't mean to upset you. I-""Then answer!" Xylan commanded through gritted teeth.Ronald caught his breath and then said quietly, "I think he's good, Your Majesty."Xylan raised an eyebrow, looking at Ronald who was still kneeling."So what? What el
Rowena's blunt statement was right on target. Xylan Wellington was rendered helpless. The young king of the Ans De Lou Kingdom was not even able to reply even a few words.Meanwhile, Rowena, who felt that her brother was beginning to understand her explanation, finally breathed a sigh of relief.Rowena said softly, "I don't think I'm better than you in terms of government. Of course you're much smarter than me. You're the king. However, I know how to judge people. And I don't think ... you should just trust Gary Davis until you're absolutely sure and find out a lot about him."Xylan remained silent.The young man was not unwilling to reply to his older sister's words. He just didn't know how to do it.At that moment he just felt very careless. Hearing his sister's words, he was really very embarrassed."Well, I have to go see Kharel. I've left him alone too much," Rowena finally said after looking at the large clock above the wall.The young woman hurriedly walked away without another
With limp shoulders Rowena nodded slowly, agreeing to Xylan's words which were true according to her.Xylan was dumbfounded, disbelieving. There really was such a person? War general is not an arbitrary position. How could anyone willingly give such an important position to someone else? It doesn't make sense, Xylan thought with his forehead folded.Rowena watched her younger brother's reaction and then she too sighed softly. The young woman said, "Yes, I know people won't easily believe that there's someone like Riley. However ... everyone who knows Riley very well would think that the things Riley does are no big deal for him." "He's not a person who's crazy about important positions and he wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice himself, including his position and even his life for others," Rowena added, reinforcing the argument she believed to be true.Xylan still looked unconvinced and instead completely doubted his sister's thoughts. Hm, she could have temporarily let James Gardner ta
Being treated like a child by Rowena, of course Xylan would not accept it. He was a king. He didn't want his prestige to fall before everyone just because he was still treated like a child by his older sister.He quickly looked around to see if anyone had seen his sister touching the hair on the back of his head. However, he breathed a sigh of relief when no one saw him.Uh, I've become a king. No one will dare to look at me if I don't give them permission, Xylan said to himself. The young man shook his head, feeling like he was worrying too much about something that didn't really matter."No, no. It's not that I don't trust you, Rowena. The thing is ... it's ...."Oh, Xylan was at a loss for words. He had trouble stringing words together, afraid that his words might offend his sister.However, he noticed Rowena's silence, as if she was waiting for him to say more so he said, "Look, sis. Riley is married to you and you have a child. How could Riley have disappeared on purpose?"Rowen
Tired of hearing Nick Collins' questions, the chatty guy, Gary Davis finally replied, "Nothing. I just want to sleep. Do you mind if I close my eyes now, buddy?"Nick Collins winked, looking visibly disappointed.But, Gary didn't care and added, "I'm so tired. Today is King Xylan's coronation. I have so many things to do."Gary sighed tiredly and made a pitiable facial expression that Nick felt sorry for.He immediately responded, "Oh, I'm so sorry. It's because of me that you can't rest. Well, please take your time, Gary."Gary Davis smiled gratefully and closed his eyes."Have a good rest, buddy!" Nick said when he saw that Gary's eyes were closed.Not forgetting to add, "We can chat later. Okay?"No, there's no need, Gary thought while still closing his eyes.He certainly didn't bother replying to Nick and kept pretending to sleep. He actually couldn't sleep. Even on long journeys, Nick could never sleep sitting up. Basically, he had such a habit of having trouble sleeping that he
The 23-year-old loosened the collar of his shirt and then sat down comfortably. His face was bright with a smile. In fact, one of the other passengers sitting in the same compartment with him felt that the young man carrying a backpack with the emblem of the Ans De Lou Kingdom was a very cheerful young man."Excuse me, where are you getting off?" Gary asked to make small talk with his compartment mate.The man who looked about the same age as him replied, "Vues Hill."Gary nodded, "Oh, you mean getting off before me.""Where do you get off?" the man asked back. "Uh, I'll get off at the last station, Wenderstein," Gary replied.The man frowned, "Wenderstein? You're from an area ... that once belonged to the Sealand Kingdom apparently."Gary smiled kindly and nodded, "You seem to know my area."The man immediately nodded, "Of course. I've been there a few times."Gary was reluctant to respond, but the young man sitting in front of him still seemed interested in the topic and asked agai
