"Why are you looking at her like that, Dorothy?" Jody Gardner asked as he was suddenly behind her.

Dorothy turned round and faced her lover, "Just wondering. By the way, I haven't had a chance to congratulate you on your victory yet."

Jody Gardner smiled even though his mind was filled with suspicion. He had clearly seen the way his lover stared in confusion at the War Advisor.

"It's good to have you back here. Is everything sorted out?" Jody asked.

Dorothy nodded, "Of course. But, it's getting more and more tiring by the day. Do you think I should just quit working at the palace?"

"What? Quit?"

"Yes. I'm so tired of doing all this routine. But, how ... life also requires money so I think I should refrain more from staying here until I have enough money," Dorothy said.

Jody Gardner said, "Wait a minute. Why are you bothering to think about the economy? There's me, Dorothy."

"You do. Of course, but how could I bother you all the time?" Dorothy said so honestly.

    "You ... ask too many questions, Reece!" Bill said as he seemed to no longer want to discuss the matter. Andrew Reece no longer wanted to ask questions and chose to try to forget about the matter and talk about other matters. "General, what about the war in two weeks at Mondega?" Andrew asked when he was now distracted. Bill was really happy to have such an understanding subordinate like Andrew Reece. He then tried to recall the name that his loyal subordinate had mentioned. "Mondega?" Bill repeated. "Yes, General. A kingdom located in the north, close to the border of the Cruela Kingdom." Bill was still thinking and digging into his memory. Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Uh, the kingdom that has the largest export of armaments?" "That's right, General. The Mondega Kingdom used to be one of the centres for making our weapons in the days before you became a war general here." "Why should we go to war against them? Isn't it the case that even though they no longer s

    Mary, seeing the anxiety in the young madam's eyes, said, "Madam, I apologize if I seem to be interfering, but let me give you an opinion." Cassandra turned to the nun who didn't seem too much older than herself, "Yes? Tell me!" "Madam, as far as I can see Mr. Bill is not someone who seems to be working in an illicit field," Mary said. "How can you say that? Have you known my husband for a long time?" Mary replied, "Actually, I only met him the day he hired me to be your nurse." Cassandra became pessimistic about Mary's opinion which might not be objective. "But, I'm sure you wouldn't do anything against the law. This is also because Andrew Reece, your friend, is one of the most famous palace guards. You can probably look at the palace website. There, his name is there and it means that you work in the palace." Mary's information gave Cassandra some hope of finding out what kind of job her husband might have. She quickly grabbed her mobile phone and started searching the Royal

    "You're right, maybe if we knew your reasons and what they wanted, we wouldn't have to go to war," Bill replied so casually. Jody immediately threw his darts and said, "Don't tell me that you're afraid to make a war strategy for us this time. Can't you actually make a strategy until you want to make peace?" Bill shook his head. It seemed like he had to be more restrained in order not to be provoked by anger when he was with Jody Gardner. "General, war is the last resort when both parties can't work together to make peace or perhaps the conflict has become too severe that the most appropriate way is by." Jody took offence to Bill's words but before he could protest, Bill had already said again, "If the conflict underlying a war is not too strong, the best way is to negotiate to make an agreement between the two sides. Then, if there is no good agreement or the two kingdoms prefer to go to war then we go to war." "Damn it. You think I don't know about that?" Jody retorted completely

    "That's right, Your Honour. Once again I apologize for my rudeness but it's for our own good," Bill said, looking earnest and calm. "Good?" Keannu repeated still trying to process Bill's explanation. Bill nodded, "Yes, Your Honour. You can either have General Gardner decide everything or you can keep me and have him out." Keannu's head felt as if a bomb had exploded in his head. He really did not understand. He did not expect the election between the two people who were so important to him to have started now. He thought it would only happen in the future. In fact, it was something he had to face earlier. "Your Honour," Bill called out. Keannu sighed wearily, "General, this was not a very easy decision. You chose the position yourself and now you're making me have to choose. If this is the case, why didn't you replace Jody Gardner as War General a long time ago?" Bill replied still with his head slightly bowed in deference to the king, "Your Majesty, if someone from among the c

    "War Advisor? Seizing my position? Seriously. How could there be such a thing here?" Jody replied with an awkward laugh. The man then continued his words with a rather serious look on his face. "You're not making any sense, Dorothy. Why should I be afraid of a new person like him?" Jody said who was now looking the other way, not wanting to look at Dorothy. Dorothy Winks of course laughed at that, "Me? Unreasonable? If you're really not afraid of your position being taken by him, shouldn't you be annoyed that you now have to think of a war strategy by yourself?" Jody Gardner could no longer stand his lover's offensive words. "Enough! I don't want to talk about it. He's just a bit like General Mackenzie. It doesn't matter if I hate him. I don't have to explain my reasons to you, do I?" Annoyed, Dorothy chose to leave her lover in exasperation while grumbling once on the way. She did not know why her lover had not forgotten the shadow of the great general. It was true that no on

    "Hm. No way, I'm going home," Cassandra said firmly, looking unfazed. Peter shook his head in disbelief, "Women! So easily swayed!" "Good decision, Cassie," Christopher said with a bright smile. "We'll get your new room ready," George said with a smile that was just as bright as Christopher Wood's. Christopher then said, "Of course, I'm pretty sure you're going home. Why put up with that vague Bill? Just get your divorce taken care of, Cassie!" "Do you want me to take care of it, Cassie?" George offered, looking happy to do it for his sister. "Besides, it's a very dangerous job, we don't know what might happen in the future," Shirley said. Peter snorted loudly, "Come on, Cassie. Do you believe what these guys are saying?" Peter pointed at the three people with disgust. His outlook had completely changed and he now didn't seem to be on the side of Bill's haters. "Peter, what are you saying?" Shirley said, unable to understand her husband's behaviour. Peter rolled his eyes lazi

    Bill, of course, had also calculated that this would happen, so he calmly replied, "Yes, General. I am willing to resign from this palace if I lose the war with the Mondega Kingdom." Inwardly, Jody Gardner laughed at Bill's foolishness. On the outside, however, he was acting like a cool general. "Alright, I have your word. If you break them, I will not hesitate to force you to leave this palace. Do you understand?" "Understood, General Gardner." "Good," Jody replied. He got ready to turn around, but she was unexpectedly held back by Bill. "But what if I win, General Gardner?" Jody sighed. Really? He was so arrogant to say that he could win? Doesn't he know the situation is dangerous right now? A cold war would be far worse than an open war. Did he not realize that at all? Jody wondered. "Are you sure you can win?" Jody said with a smirk, as if challenging Bill. Bill smiled and replied, "If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have come forward, General Gardner." Jody laughed, unable t

    "Paralyse it!" Bill said. In the next second, there was a fierce fight between the two sides. Both sides fought each other with their bare hands. Bill could easily conclude that the Mondega Kingdom did not want to fight with them. At least they wouldn't kill each other this time, that was Bill's guess. This was because the troops of the kingdom that had several tourist areas in the area near the mountains did not carry weapons even though they were an armour supply country for various kingdoms. Nevertheless, it seemed that the leader of the royal army bearing the white rabbit seemed to want to test the skills of some of the bodyguards brought by Bill. However, Bill was not deterred at all. The man even managed to knock down some of the royal troops in just a short time. The enemy was unable to move freely as their attacks were always preceded by Bill. "How can he be that fast?" one of the soldiers muttered while standing next to a large, well-built man who appeared to be the

We won?

    Xylan immediately realized that his father wouldn't just let him go.He knew that Keannu Wellington wasn't in the best of shape, but his father was still thinking things through carefully.Therefore, Xylan who had never lied and would never want to lie, especially to his father replied, "Yes, Father. He is not a palace staff who has been in the palace for a long time. In fact, he doesn't even have any relationships with other palace officials."Keannu instantly fell silent.Xylan quickly composed words and continued, "But ... I can guarantee that he will do his duty well. You will see that my choice will not be wrong."Keannu let out a long breath.Xylan was beginning to worry.And after a long silence, Keannu finally looked back at his son and said, "Alright."Keannu's one-word statement confused Xylan so he asked again, "Alroght?

I believe you're capable of leading this country."Xylan lifted his head and looked at his father's pale face that looked so very weak.Xyan instantly wanted to curse himself. How could he think so weakly? He may be young, but he was not ignorant. Over the years he had learned various things, including about the government system. His father had also taught him about many things to prepare him as his successor.Then, after all that had happened, how could he be hesitant like that?Moreover, his father's condition no longer allowed him to rule the country.

    James didn't have to wait long to connect with Josh Cleve.Once connected, before James could speak, he heard Josh say, "I've got it, General Gardner."James didn't have time to reply, but Josh was already speaking quickly, "Thank you, General Gardner. This is all because of you.""If it wasn't for your strategy, I wouldn't have been able to conquer the sea area," Josh continued, sounding like someone who was holding back tears.He didn't even dare to look directly through the screen at James.James smiled at Josh and chuckled, "Gosh, are you going to cry?"Josh snorted but everyone could see that Josh was really very moved. All the soldiers of Ans De Lou Kingdom had known all the efforts that Josh Cleve had made to improve his sea warrior skills. However, he had not been successful.However, after James Gardner became his leader, he was able to bring victory to the Ans De Lou Kingdom.With so much gratitude Josh said again, "It's all thanks to you, General."James instantly shook hi

    A class two soldier of James' age replied, "Maybe he was practicing during his long break."Ben shook his head, "I'm not sure.""You mean, Senior Ben?" Jason Hoult asked with a facial expression full of confusion.Ben smiled faintly.Without turning his head towards Jason, the man who had long been a first-class soldier replied, "There's no time for that. He's very busy managing his business.""What business, Senior Ben?" Jason asked back, looking both surprised and curious. Ben almost tapped his forehead from talking too much."Uh, what are we doing? Isn't it time to help him? Come on, Jason. Get back to your position!" Ben ordered.Jason was forced to move away from the area in disappointment. Uh, he was really very curious about the story of James Gardner.He used to feud with the young man who always had a cold impression, but he could finally understand James' attitude.James always had an annoying expression on his face, but the young man wasn't actually an annoying man.

    Kurt Zys smiled mockingly, "Thank you?"He then spat to the side and said again, "Are you dreaming? Do you think that by capturing us, you think your army will win over our army?"Kurt laughed dismissively. "In case you forgot ... I'll remind you, we ... have an important person from your kingdom.""That's right, your war general is in our hands. What can you do with your new war general? What can he do?" a soldier sitting beside Kurt said in an annoying tone.Kurt flashed his mocking smile again to irritate Justin.Justin raised his right eyebrow and immediately realized that there was no way he could get what he wanted from the enemy soldiers. The young man sighed softly. He felt that talking to the enemy soldiers was pointless so he simply replied, "Well, since you can only belittle us, it would be much better if we didn't hear your voice."Kurt frowned, looking somewhat confused.However, it wasn't long before he heard Justin command, "Shut them all up!

It looks like General Gardner is confused.""What? Why is he confused? Does that mean he's going to ... retreat?"A class two soldier who heard those words instantly turned to the class three soldier as he raised his visor, "What did you just say, huh? You think General Gardner is a coward?""No-no ... so, Senior. But ... why didn't he act immediately? We're already in enemy territory," the soldier replied, who initially seemed to doubt his general stammeringly.The class two soldier who defended James replied, "Perhaps General Gardner is adjusting himself. He hasn't fought in a long time so he might need time to readjust."Another also nodded in agreement and quickly responded, "Right. He is ... one of those great warrio

    Upon hearing the words of Xylan Wellington, who was the crown prince of Ans De Lou Kingdom, Gary Davis could only stare with a dumbfounded expression at the person he had served for two years."Why?" Xylan said again as he caught Gary's expression which he found strange in his eyes.His forehead wrinkled in confusion, "Do you ... not like it, Gary?"Gary winked then quickly shook his head, "Of course I do, Your Highness. But ....""But, why?" Xylan asked with a questioning look on his face."Are you really serious, Your Highness?" Gary ventured to ask.Xylan took offense, "What do you mean?
