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

    Bill glared at him in shock. "General Cleve, what are you doing?" Bill looked around him and now the royal troops were staring at them with looks of surprise and shock. "I ... it's me, Eland Cleve. The boy you saved ten years ago. General Mackenzie, have you forgotten me?" Eland asked with a questioning look. Bill stepped back, his expression full of shock. "You know who I am?" Eland nodded with certainty, not looking the least bit hesitant. "How'd you know about me?" Bill asked in confusion. As far as he could remember, few people actually knew their identity. And certainly the person who recognized him was certainly someone from his own kingdom, not from another kingdom. However, this person who served as the highest troop leader in the Mondega Kingdom could recognize him and even claimed to have been saved. How could that be possible? He himself had just set foot into the land of the greatest weapon maker in the European region for the first time. Then, how did that ma

    "See you next time, young man," Bill said. "But, sir. Your hand-" "Uh, this little wound? It's not a problem. It's nothing for a man to have a wound on his body, young man," Bill said. Teenage Eland stared questioningly. Bill smiled gently and then declared, "A wound can be likened to a sign of effort or struggle. So, isn't it cool that a man has this kind of mark?" Eland was stunned. He was very amazed with those words. He never expected to hear such a thing. "A man without a wound is a man who never fought, young man," Bill said. The gallant soldier then flashed Eland a warm smile just before he left him alone there. When he was only a few metres away, he turned around and waved his hand once more, "Be a strong soldier, young man!" "Yes, sir," Eland replied with a shout. "I will be a strong man, I promise," Eland added. Bill then turned around and continued walking. Eland stared at the sturdy back of his saviour who was walking away until he was no longer visible to his e

    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.

    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
