Keannu once again leered at his wife and instead smiled and kissed her briefly on the cheek and then said, "Do you now mind me bringing women into my palace?" Hearing Keannu's words, Monica Wilhelm almost lost her mind, "You ... wouldn't do such a shameful thing, Kean, would you?" "Who knows?" Keannu replied with a mysterious look in his eyes. Not wanting to get any crazier, Monica chose to say, "You ... don't deserve to be called human if you get-" "Just wait, my Queen! Just wait for a moment!" Keannu retorted. Monica, who could no longer contain herself because of the anger that overcame her, stomped her foot hard and left the welcoming area, leaving Keannu alone. When she reached her palace, Monica ordered, "Bring me some cold water, Magdalena." The trusted maid quickly fetched and handed Monica a glass of cold water which she quickly drank with her hands shaking violently. Magdalena, who had not been allowed to accompany her queen while talking to the king, immediately bega
William Mackenzie paused for a moment, then without thinking he immediately took out his cell phone and contacted the bodyguard he had assigned to protect his wife. Andrew Reece, who didn't understand what the major general was doing, remained silent and waited. "James. Is there a problem in the house?" Bill asked quickly. "Nothing, sir." Bill breathed a sigh of relief, "So, where's my wife?" "Madame has just fallen asleep, sir. Do I need to ask Mary to wake her up?" James asked. "No need, tomorrow morning I'll call her cell phone directly," Bill declined. "Yes, sir." Bill said again, "Tighten the guard throughout the house. If anything happens, call me immediately." "Yes, sir. Yes, I'll do it." After disconnecting the call, Bill turned to Andrew Reece whose face was slightly flushed. "Did you hear that, Reece?" "Yes, General." The young man replied in a very low tone of voice. Bill said, "King Keannu may not be a great king but that doesn't mean he would do such a low and
"Your Majesty," Bill called with a slightly trembling voice but his eyes staring straight ahead without the slightest wavering. No one knew at this moment whether the war general was angry or just surprised or shocked. However, what was certain was that an uneasy expression could be seen on the man's face. Keannu Wellington stood up from his throne, "General Stewart, this is just a surprise for you." "A surprise? What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Bill replied. "You've just won two battles. Of course you need to be rewarded," Keannu said. Everyone began to whisper. "A gift? Does she mean a gift for General Stewart?" "But it seems General Stewart knows her." Steven stood nervously behind his master and was obviously afraid that something might happen. Bill stepped closer and said, "A gift? What do you mean by gift?" "General Stewart, you must have missed your wife here very much. You must be very happy to see her again." Bill remained silent, waiting for Keannu Wellington to co
"He reversed King Keannu's attack, General," Steven said as he swallowed nervously. Jody Gardner couldn't even comprehend what Bill had said. The man stared at the kneeling freak in confusion. Bill said again. "Your Honor, please punish me for making you act like this." Hearing Bill's words, Monica Wilhelm blinked and would have laughed again if her husband had not suddenly stood up. "General Stewart, I don't think we need to prolong this matter," Keannu said, who no longer knew how to reply to Bill's actions that he never thought of. "Your Majesty, but I am guilty. I deserve to be punished." Keannu said in exasperation, "What's wrong with you, you've been asking to be punished?" Bill was silent. Keannu, not wanting to lose his authority, said, "It's not your fault. Never mind, there's no need to discuss it anymore." "Does this mean you forgive me, Your Honor?" Bill asked again. Keannu turned his head in annoyance, "You ... how can you be forgiven when you're innocent?" Every
Bill replied, "You're ... just thinking too much." Cassandra wanted to ask again but Bill said, "Take a rest. I have to go to the practice building. I'll be back in the afternoon." Cassandra nodded and let her husband go. At the training hall, Bill found a number of bodyguards who were his men who had fought alongside him at that time. Andrew Reece said, "Are you about to start training, General?" "Yes," Bill replied. All the soldiers immediately stood at attention, looking refreshed and ready for the day's training. "Are you ready to train?" Bill asked. "Yes, General," all his men replied. Bill nodded, "Your enthusiasm makes me proud. But, this time I'm not going to ask you to train physically, but strategically." Some people looked a bit confused. One of them raised his hand, "Why not physical training, General?" Bill flashed a faint smile, "I know you're incredibly strong. But, you still need to take care of your physique. Therefore, in a few days you will be practicing
The subordinate immediately bowed and began to apologize with a frightened look on his face and a half trembling body, "Mercy, Your Majesty. Well, I will immediately look for the kingdoms that have problems with our kingdom." Keannu immediately grinned and now his fierce face was no longer visible like a moment ago. "Good, how much time do you need?" "Three days, Your Majesty." Keannu then nodded in agreement, "Alright, in three days I will ask you again. I hope you've found the kingdom I'm referring to." "Yes, Your Majesty." The men then retreated and left the king's palace. Keannu laughed with satisfaction because this time he might have a good feeling that he could make the war general lose his life. Actually, at first he didn't want to kill William Mackenzie and instead wanted to keep him by his side because surely his abilities were needed. Unfortunately, William Mackenzie showed such extraordinary abilities that he felt that the war general's abilities might make things
However, before Jody Gardner could think any further, his worries disappeared as he watched Keannu Wellington begin to ask the King's Counsel to speak. "To tell you the truth, I am deeply troubled by this," Larry began his important remarks. The man in his forties then made a face of sadness and confusion, "But. I have to say it." Andrew Reece raised his eyebrows and William Mackenzie, who was still using the identity of Bill Stewart, immediately had a bad feeling. "As we know, our kingdom borders the Fleshy Kingdom to the west. And according to reports, that kingdom often acts at will in that border area," Larry said. Andrew Reece sighed and turned to the general with a look of concern on his face. "So, we have to stop that from further disturbing the people there. Otherwise, the people will definitely be more oppressed and we might lose them. Because there are so many soldiers from the Fleshy Kingdom who are arbitrary towards our people. This, of course, must be resolved immedi
"In four days," Bill replied. "In four days? Are you sure, General?" Howard said, looking shocked by the war general's answer. Bill rolled his eyes and stared unflinchingly at his men, "Of course. Why is that?" "Because in my opinion, it's too soon. You ... how about your condition, General? Are you okay with this?" Howard asked with an anxious look. Bill flashed a smile. In the past, he didn't have people who could easily express what was going on inside his head. In his past as William Mackenzie, people were too afraid to comment on every decision he made. However, everything was the opposite now. Everyone who was worried about him did not keep it from him. Oh, he understood the difference between his former self and his current self. "I'm fine. What matters is you guys. After we discuss this matter of strategy, I will give you a rest for one day in total." Andrew Reece was surprised but Mark Donovan expressed his astonishment first, "General, what does it mean that we a
At first Michelle Veren didn't understand what James Gardner was asking. However, when she saw the look on the general's face, she immediately knew he meant the time of the departure of the three people they were looking for.So, the Veren boutique owner replied, "About an hour ago, General Gardner."Hearing that answer, Reiner immediately went limp. But, it was inversely proportional to James who was even full of enthusiasm. This could be seen from James who even said, "Come on, Rei. Let's go after him."Reiner looked sadly at his best friend and replied, "It won't catch up, James. It's been too long."James did not even listen to Reiner's words and ordered some of his men, "Prepare the car, let's go after them!""James," Reiner called softly.James ignored the call and kept saying to his men who were still quietly waiting, "Find out through the CCTV which area they are currently in. They ... should be visible if they take the highway from behind this building."Reiner bit his own
Unfortunately it was all too late for the young girl to realize. All the words of the girl named Alice Porter were clearly heard by Reiner Anderson and James Gardner.With a dark look on his face, James said, "Miss, you-""No, no. I just misspoke, I ... I don't know anything. You heard me wrong," Alice said, whose face paled even more. Especially when she saw the aura of James Gardner, the terrifying war general, she found it even harder to breathe.Reiner also could not help himself so he said in an exasperated tone, "Tell me everything you know or you ... will know how terrible it is when you face the two of us.""I don't care if you are a woman. I can still find a punishment that you deserve," Reiner continued coldly.Alice swallowed harshly. Of course the young girl was very confused. Moreover, no one was trying to help her at all. All the employees in the boutique looked so frightened that no one dared to open their mouths."Say it now! We don't have much time, Miss!" James gro
James' question immediately made Reiner silent for a few moments. He stared at the boutique with a confused look on his face.Meanwhile, James didn't want to waste any more time so he wordlessly walked towards the boutique owned by Michelle Veren, a forty-year-old female designer who was quite famous in the country.Reiner didn't just stand by and do nothing, lamenting his inaccuracy. He followed James with a small trot right behind James without a word.As soon as James was faster than him to reach the door, he immediately saw the two boutique guards who opened the door for them."Can I help you?" one of the boutique guards asked James."I'm looking for Princess Rowena. Where is she now?" James asked back matter-of-factly as he darted his eyes all over the first floor of the boutique.Although there was a suspicion rising in James' mind, the young man put his anxiety ahead of his suspicion."You're looking for Princess Rowena? Who are you? You-""James Gardner. Royal War General Ans
Reiner Anderson did not answer James' question. Instead, he had a facial expression that looked both hesitant and confused.Of course, that made James Gardner even more annoyed. "Come on, tell me quickly! What's so strange about Princess Rowena?" James urged, impatiently.Reiner swallowed and scratched his ears before answering, "Well, I'm not sure if this is strange to you. But ... I think it's very strange, James."James gritted his teeth in growing annoyance and impatience.Luckily, he didn't need to ask anymore as Reiner added, "So, according to reports she went outside the palace."Hearing Reiner's answer, James snorted rudely. "What's so strange about that? I know she often goes outside the palace."Reiner sighed softly, "Indeed. But, this time ... a few hours ago, she left without a bodyguard. And she ... left with their son, Prince Kharel."Instantly James glared in shock, "What? Are you ... sure?""Yes, James. She just-""How is that possible? King Xylan ... didn't forbid he
Gary Davis did not answer Xylan's question. He just wore a pitiable expression. It instantly brought out the guilt in Xylan Wellington.Oh, no. What have I done? Did ... did I go too far in becoming suspicious of my own personal assistant? Xylan thought to himself as he stared at Gary's innocent face.The viceroy sighed softly. He went back to thinking hard. He tried to remember everything about Gary. He had never made a mistake, not once. He also never did anything suspicious all this time. Gosh, am I suspecting the wrong person? Xylan thought.However, he shook his head quickly as he realized something.But, wait a minute. It was James Gardner who suspected him. He couldn't have spoken carelessly. Otherwise, there was no way he could have been selected as the deputy war general. His instincts must be very strong that he has suspicions of Gary Davis, Xylan thought seriously.He then looked at Gary once more and finally nodded his head.He does look very innocent, but he could be h
Ben didn't know how he should respond to his friend's words, but all he could do was go over to James and pat him gently on the back repeatedly in an attempt to calm him down."He's really not coming back, Ben.""No, he's not. It's just-""He wouldn't give that kind of message if he didn't mean what he said," James cut Ben off.Ben sighed softly, "James, what I meant was ... he probably doesn't want to be looked for anymore because he wants to go back to the palace himself."Ben's words made James, who had been so frantic, straighten his back. The war general then turned to Ben and responded, "What do you mean?"Ben wasn't sure what he was thinking but he said it anyway, "I think ... he just wants to go home alone."James paused, trying to digest his friend's words."Tell you what ... how about we just go back to the palace, who knows if Riley might actually be home," Ben explained.Ricky and Steven Drilon were silent as they listened to Ben's words.They also didn't have time to reac
Ricky Drilon could only stare at the question.Oh, he often found himself in a confusing situation. But, he had never once felt depressed.Though he was also very often faced with a difficult choice. However, again, such things could be resolved well without any inner turmoil.However, one question asked by Riley Mackenzie put him in his most difficult phase. "Why are you doing nothing? Who are you going to obey? Me or General Gardner?" Riley repeated his question.Ricky swallowed harshly, getting more and more confused.His forehead was furrowed, clearly showing a great deal of indecision. He repeatedly smoothed his hair in just one minute. That made Riley smile strangely, "So, what? Who are you going to choose to obey?" Ricky bit his own teeth.How is this? What am I supposed to do? And why am I in this situation? Ricky thought.He looked indecisive, full of doubts. Riley himself looked very calm and relaxed at Ricky's confusion."Why aren't you answering me?" Riley asked with a
Ricky didn't answer James' question immediately, instead he looked back at Steven, his brother. From the look in his eyes, it was clear that the young man was seeking Ricky's approval. Apparently, James Gardner noticed this habit and with an exasperated look on his face, he commented, "Come on, do you have to have a discussion before answering a simple question like the one I asked you earlier?" "Don't you have your own opinion?" James continued in a cold tone. Ricky and Steven's faces turned a perfect shade of red. Ben grimaced at James' assertiveness but he didn't make an interruption. Not wanting to make James even angrier, Ricky finally replied, "If it's an ordinary person, we can probably still go after him. However, if it's General Mackenzie, I ...." The young man did not dare to continue his words. From the look on his face he looked hesitant until James continued his words by saying, "You're not sure we can catch up with Riley?" Ricky stammered, "Absolutely, General Gar
Benedict Arkitson instantly froze like a statue as if he dared not move his body at all. The thirty-four-year-old senior class one soldier was stunned without being able to issue any rebuttal to the junior soldier's explanation.He thought that he had no reason to doubt Lory Blackwell's words. Meanwhile, the strangely gloomy James Gardner looked the other way, as if reluctant to meet Lory Blackwell's eyes that were staring at him innocently. The young war general then said, "It's Riley. It must be him, it can't be wrong."Lory smiled with satisfaction and nodded with relief. The young man let out a long sigh after his statement was beyond doubt.However, he saw the sad look on James Gardner's face that the war general couldn't hide.He even heard James mutter softly, "It really is him. But ... he must be angry with me. If he wasn't angry, why would he leave?"That of course made Lory very surprised. James Gardner had always been known as a very rigid and cold person. He never imag
