Being hit, cursed by his own best friend did not make James Gardner apoplectic. Instead, he chuckled and returned Shin's hug.

He said in a very low tone, “I'm sorry.”

Shin was actually surprised when he heard James' apology.

He felt that James was basically innocent. His best friend was just disappointed and his reaction was not excessive.

Even if he did choose to leave, James still couldn't be considered as acting out of bounds. He still had the right to choose to stay in the palace or leave the palace life.

So Shin quickly said, “Never mind, forget it. You ... are completely innocent.”

James sighed softly and then released his embrace on Shin.

Shin suddenly turned to Diego who suddenly did not dare to look at him. The forty-year-old man narrowed his eyes in suspicion.

“Does this mean you ... knew all along-”

Diego immediately cleared his throat softly and said quickly, “Senior Shin, Prince Xylan is waiting for James.”

Shin instantly came to his senses and immediately apologized t

    Having managed to pull himself together, Shin looked at Diego with a curious gaze. Diego knew immediately that Shin must want to ask more about James' life.But all the soldier who worked with James could say was, "You know he's good at making bombs, right? However, that was not all. His skills were more impressive than just bomb-making. He can also make amazing weapons.""On top of that, he manages the cafe business he runs with Aunt Dorothy. But really ... his main job has always been, of course, making weapons for our kingdom," Diego explained.Shin nodded, understanding easily.He was so eager to know more that he asked again, "Then, what about his ... love life? Is he married?"Diego shook his head, "How has he ever thought about that? You ... know what he's like, don't you?"Shin stopped asking about James' love life and went back to asking about other things.Meanwhile, inside the king's palace, James was still talking seriously with Keannu and also Xylan."I know ... you left

    Xylan wanted to help his father, but in the end, the young man who looked so worried about his father was asked to wait outside the king's palace by Keannu.After Keannu was left alone with James, he looked back at James seriously.“Deputy General of War, please save ... this kingdom. Don't let our kingdom be taken by them. Can you ... do it?” Keannu asked with an expectant look that was so obvious.James frowned. He honestly predicted that the king would mention Riley first, but apparently he prioritized the whole country over his son-in-law's safety.As if guessing what James was thinking, Keannu added, “I'm not indifferent to Riley. I ... also don't know that my daughter is suffering because her husband's fate is still unclear.”He swallowed hard and continued, “However, if I ask you to focus on saving Riley first, then ....”He was speechless again. Imagining his daughter being so sad because of his son-in-law who was still a hostage in the enemy kingdom made the old man sad as wel

    “Deputy General of War,” Rowena called softly.James instantly shifted his gaze from the small child he estimated to be about two years old to the king's daughter.“Yes, Your Royal Highness, did you wish to speak with me?” James asked quietly.Rowena nodded and immediately handed her son to the nanny, “Take care of Prince Kharel for a moment. I won't be long.”The nanny immediately nodded and took the little prince in her arms. On the other hand, Diego and Shin, who knew that Rowena needed a chance to talk to James, quickly stepped aside.Before leaving, the two did not forget to pay their respects to the princess.After leaving, James immediately asked back, “What did you want to talk to me about, Your Highness?”Rowena gulped, “Have you ... agreed to look for Riley, the Deputy War General?”James nodded, “Of course, that is already one of my duties, Your Highness.”Rowena's lips trembled and she suddenly looked like she was about to cry.Uh, James was confused because of that. He ha

    "Why did you call them?" one of the class one soldiers asked with furrowed brows.James sighed softly and could only reply, "Because I have a new war strategy. Why? Do you mind?"James looked at him with a cold gaze and of course it made the soldier who was still recovering from his heavy injuries unable to reply.James Gardner was still a deputy general of war after all. He didn't want to make trouble with the man so he chose not to question the decision James had made.After knowing that the soldier no longer argued with him, James immediately ordered, "Prepare everything. I will explain our new war strategy to you all as soon as the war commanders get here.""Yes, Deputy General of War," the class one soldier said.James quickly entered the silver building and immediately rolled out a large paper. Beside him he saw some notes that had been prepared by the soldiers.In addition, there were several large screens that showed almost the entire location of the war. James wasted no time a

    "Damn it! Even though you're our leader, we're still your seniors. Is that how you rule us?" Reiner said, who actually didn't mind the way James called them. However, the man deliberately wanted to play with his best friend who had disappeared for several years.James suddenly turned to Reiner who was raising his right eyebrow. The man sighed irritably and forced himself to smile at Reiner."My esteemed seniors, your new leader is studying the war situation. Would you like to help me?" James said in a deliberately soft tone.Thyme snorted in annoyance, "Oh my! Don't use that tone. You're making me amused, James.""I prefer your arrogant tone of voice," Josh said, who then shrugged as if amused.While James then smiled broadly and pointed at Reiner with his index finger, "I'm just obeying the Army War Commander's request, seniors."Reiner clicked his tongue in annoyance and finally replied, "You haven't changed at all."He shook his head at James and looked at him while squinting.Jame

    James smiled with relief. He really thought Josh Cleve wouldn't believe him. But, as he had just listened to the excitement in Josh's tone, James felt incredibly happy. The young man said softly, "All you need to do is help me make it happen.""You ... will see that even sea warriors can be as great as land and air warriors," James added.Josh nodded in response.After reassuring Josh, James said again, "Come on! We need to hurry. Before sunrise, we need to get things started.""Yes, General," the three war commanders said in unison.James grimaced, not yet used to the call. He wasn't totally unwilling to take the position, even if it was only for a short while, but if he didn't agree to Keannu Wellington's request, he would be in trouble.By becoming a war general, he had more authority so he thought he could utilize his current position to save the lives of more people.After three hours of long discussions, he had finally conveyed all of James' war strategy to the soldiers.

    "Never mind, there's no need to discuss this," James said as if he didn't want to talk about the topic.Alen and Ben were still very curious, but they didn't want to force James. Moreover, James had just returned to the palace, they certainly didn't want to make James feel uncomfortable."Alright, alright. I understand," Alen said.Ben said, "James, I heard that you have been officially appointed as a war general. So, what do you want to order us to do?"James breathed a sigh of relief after the topic was changed. He quickly replied, "There are some things you have to do. Are you ready to do them?""Of course I am. You ... will also save Riley, right?" Alen asked in an anxious tone.James was silent for a few moments. That made Ben and Alen, who were waiting for an answer from James, anxious.However, it wasn't long before they heard James say, "Yes, of course. That's what I came back for.""To make him back where he belongs, near ... his son," James continued, who instantly remembered

    James clucked his tongue in annoyance. He looked at Reiner with a gaze full of distrust. It was obvious that he doubted Reiner's ability to cut hair.Indeed, when it came to fighting, Reiner was one of the best soldiers in the Ans De Lou Kingdom. That man even earned the nickname of the second best ground war commander after Greg Sehel. However, James had never seen him have any skills other than fighting so James had a hard time believing in his good friend. Seeing that James did not answer him, Reiner quickly said again, "We only need ten minutes, General Gardner. I promise I will-""Stop it!" someone cut Reiner off.James Gardner turned his head and saw a young woman who was the palace secretary standing with her gaze narrowed at Reiner as she walked towards them.James was about to greet her but saw that Reiner was faster than him.Reiner sighed softly and said, "What are you-""You ... how could you leave before I woke up, Reiner Anderson?" the young woman said with a scrunched

    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?

    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
