Reiner squinted, looked at his beautiful wife and smiled again.Mary raised an eyebrow, "Rei, seriously. That smile of yours is not an explanation."Reiner chuckled and immediately ran his fingers through his wife's hair. Although Mary was a bit annoyed before, but Reiner's super gentle treatment made her annoyance disappear instantly."So, are you not going to explain to me?" Mary said in a half disappointed tone.Reiner winked and replied, "Mary, you know Riley first and are friends with him. You ... should know how he is. Right?"Mary nodded her head, not arguing. "That still doesn't explain why you-""Wait a minute, dear. I know what you're trying to find. However, by talking like this, you will slowly understand it too," Reiner emphasized.Mary was silent and finally tried to control her mouth to listen to Reiner's explanation.Seeing that his wife was already obedient, Reiner could no longer delay in explaining, "You know
Riley didn't answer right away.Rowena could clearly see her husband's hesitation. She thought that answered her question.So, she decided not to urge him to explain. She simply bowed her head and then said quietly, "It doesn't really matter if the throne eventually goes to him."Rowena was more comfortable using the word "him" as she was reluctant to mention the traitor's name. After all, even if that person had Wellington blood, what he was about to do would clearly cause great harm.Riley looked at his wife with a shaded gaze, but still did not respond."The most important thing is that Xylan is safe. That's all," Rowena said with trembling lips.Riley immediately grabbed his wife's beautiful white hand and held it as he said, "He'll be safe. James is there. He won't let your brother be in danger."Rowena nodded, "I don't mean to doubt your good friend's ability, Riley. It's just that ... you yourself once said that in war th
Diego Greco thought James Gardner would react seriously to what he said. This is because what they were talking about was very important. However, something unexpected happened.James, the young war general who was being stared at with a panicked look, laughed heartily. It was so crisp, Diego almost thought he was laughing because he'd gotten a big prize.Diego's left eyebrow shot up. He had a look that almost looked like he wanted to sink James to the bottom of the ocean.I've never met anyone this crazy, Diego said to himself.It wasn't that James didn't know that Diego was annoyed with him, but the man seemed a little indifferent.He acted as if the discussion wasn't something that could blow up at any moment.Seeing his best friend's unreasonable behavior, Diego gritted his teeth, unable to take it anymore.With narrowed eyes he said, "You can laugh in an emergency like this?"James sighed tiredly and finally re
James smiled amusedly, "That's how it is."Diego rolled his eyes, "How could you?""It can." James replied briefly and then got up from his chair with a very quick movement and suddenly grabbed his weapon in a flash which was located near the edge of the table.The surprised Diego also got up from his chair although he still had no idea what was going on.Without a word, James pointed his gun at the right side of the window and shouted in a loud voice, "Who's there?"Diego glared in shock and immediately grabbed his weapon."Come out!" James ordered.However, no one appeared so James rushed outside and walked towards the person who James thought had been eavesdropping on his conversation with Diego."Damn it!" James cursed in annoyance as soon as no one he caught was there.Diego called the soldiers after understanding the situation.While James was checking for any traces that might have been left behind, the cor
"I have to make sure they stay safe," James replied.Ben immediately replied, "What can the enemy do? Obviously you ... have ordered such a tight guard to protect them. Why should-""Just check!" James cut in quickly.Ben was just about to argue, feeling as if what he was about to do would be a waste of time or a wasted work. However, he heard James say in a stern tone, "Make sure they're okay. Don't let our guard down!"Ben did not argue and nodded obediently, "Alright, is there anything else I need to do?"James replied, "Nothing. That's all for now."Ben nodded and quickly got up from the chair and walked out of the room without another word.Since James didn't see Alen leave either, he asked, "Why are you still here?""You don't need my help?" Alen replied with a raised eyebrow.James sighed, "You're ... part of the medical staff. Why should I trouble you?"Alen snorted in exasperation, "I'm a soldier of the medical staff, but that doesn't mean I can't do anything.""Never mind,
James Gardner, who did not want to look happy, replied briefly, "You are right, Your Majesty."Xylan Wellington nodded back and was silent for a moment.Seeing Xylan's eyes that still showed anxiety, James immediately spoke, "Don't worry about anything, Your Majesty. Everything will definitely be under control."Xylan leered and then smiled faintly, "Of course. I have you by my side, so ... what am I worried about?"James almost fell over when he heard that.Oh, he wasn't used to hearing compliments that sounded so sincere from others so he didn't know how to respond.Meanwhile, Xylan who felt that his business was done in the training building turned around and looked like he was about to leave. James quickly walked over to him and asked, "Are you ... going back to your palace, Your Majesty?""No, General Gardner."James stared with a questioning gaze.Xylan flashed a mysterious smile. But he explained anyway, "I'm going to pay a visit to some ministers' homes."The answer instantly
