William Mackenzie turned to the king and nodded, “Yes, Your Majesty. I see he has a strong friendship with James Gardner.""Oh, not even that. My son even shares a dormitory, a room with him,” William added.Keannu was pensive for a few seconds and then raised his head, looking back at the general, “Your son ... he's ....”Before Keannu could finish his sentence, he saw three of his family members enter his garden area unannounced.The man immediately said, “You three. What are you doing here?"Monica along with her son and daughter just tried to smile awkwardly. William Mackenzie immediately greeted the queen of the country, “Good evening, Your Majesty.”He also greeted the princess with a warm smile, “Princess Rowena, we finally meet again.”Rowena smiled back awkwardly, but she responded by saying, “Welcome to the palace again, General Mackenzie.”William turned to a teenage boy who still looked very young and said, “Good evening, Crown Prince.”Xylan stammered, “Welcome, General.
The young girl's face suddenly changed. What had been a bright blush now looked pale. William Mackenzie easily understood what was going on with the king's daughter who was rumored to have had an affair with his son.So, remembering the relationship between the two young people, William said, "Your Majesty, you are frightening the princess. How about I explain the matter?""I happen to know quite a lot about it," William added. Keannu turned his gaze to William, "What do you mean you know about it, Bill?""You know about this, General? How is that possible?" Monica asked with a surprised look on her face.William Mackenzie told him everything he knew including the princess' confession about hiding her son's identity. Several times Monica was seen sighing in surprise, while Keannu gritted his teeth to overcome his annoyance at being lied to by his own daughter for so long.The king turned back to his beautiful daughter and said, "Rowena, you also know ... how I was always arguing wit
William Mackenzie's expression clearly showed great disappointment. However, Keannu didn't run away from the problem and still answered honestly, "Because I think and people think your son might be able to replace you."William was dumbfounded.Seeing that expression, Keannu quickly added, "Don't think anything bad just yet!"The uncomfortable Keannu asked William to sit down before he continued, "I mean this, Bill. Andrew will be retiring soon. Actually ... his health is already failing and I ... haven't found a single suitable replacement.""Then ... there was a rumor that your son was in this warrior selection so ... we instantly had high hopes. If you can be that good, your son is of course likely to have the same extraordinary abilities as you," Keannu explained.William looked frustrated. In fact, he was seen drinking water before Keannu gave him permission to drink.Keannu sighed, knowing full well that all the ways they had tried to find the general's son could not be consider
The staff answered with a hesitant look. William immediately noticed something strange there so he chose to ask directly, "What's wrong? Did something bad happen to the prospective soldiers?"The staff suddenly felt proud that the strongest war general ever in the Ans De Lou Kingdom was speaking to him. Who didn't idolize that legendary figure who was currently sitting beside his king?He was one of the people who was an ardent fan of William Mackenzie.Not wanting to keep the general waiting, he quickly replied, "General, there is indeed something going on over there. However, it's a bit complicated.""Complicated? What exactly is going on?" Keannu asked in a worried tone."There was an argument that ensued that led James Gardner to leave the group. And then ... then ...."The staffer stopped talking again, he glanced fearfully at Keannu Wellington. After all, what he was about to say was bound to make the king anxious."Hurry up, why did you stop talking?" Keannu said impatiently.
"No," Keannu replied, which William did not expect at all.Keannu even repeated himself by emphasizing that one word, "NO."William blinked his eyes, wearing a clueless expression, "Your Majesty, but ... why?"Keannu sighed softly, "It was a big war, Bill. You ... have given so much to this palace and countless times you have risked your life. I don't want you to have to get involved again."Oh, how William was touched by the king's gentleness. But the general still said again, "But I cannot stand by and watch one soldier's life after another being taken, Your Majesty."Keannu was silent. A great dilemma hit his chest again.He knew that if William Mackenzie came back to the battlefield and took the lead, he would have nothing to worry about. Without the slightest doubt, he was sure that victory would definitely be achieved by their side. William had never lost a single war and that was why until that moment no one could break the record of the man who was now more than half a centur
"Yes, General Reece," Cliff replied who knew his general was in a good mood.Andrew Reece himself didn't know what made William Mackenzie want to talk to him.But whatever it was, it didn't mask his happiness that the long-absent general was finally showing himself. In fact, the great general entered the palace through official means. He couldn't wait to greet the person who had contributed so much to his career. In just a few seconds, Cliff's call was answered. Cliff immediately handed Andrew a tablet to use for communication. Andrew was so nervous but couldn't hide his excitement. When he looked at the screen, he actually saw the general's face that he had memorized. William looked aged but Andrew could still see the unchanging lines of his face."General Reece," William greeted with a faint smile.Andrew Reece instantly felt awkward. Being called "General" by someone who had taught him felt strange to his ears."General, I ... oh, please just call me by my name," Andrew said qu
William finally replied, "You ... said that my son is very extraordinary, didn't you?""Y-yes, General," Andrew stammered.William gave a small nod, "Then he will definitely be able to overcome whatever comes his way.""But, General ... this is a big battlefield and he's still an aspiring soldier. What if he encounters a formidable opponent?" Andrew replied which he actually found hard to say.William sighed softly. "Reece, he's my son. MY SON. I know what he's capable of. He must have a thousand ways to survive. He will not die easily ...."That word 'die' was spoken so softly, but Andrew knew that the strongest war general was worried. However, he knew what his position was. As a war advisor, he could not afford to put his own personal interests first. Which in this case was putting his son's safety first.He could of course ask for his son to be rescued first and he was sure that Andrew Reece would definitely carry out the rescue without hesitation.However, he didn't want to do t
Before the two soldiers could answer, Greg Sehel had already approached them and grabbed one of them by the shoulder while saying with an extremely worried look in his eyes, "Tell me, where are they? Why didn't they come back with you two?"Ryan, Ben's good friend and the leader of the group replied fearfully, "We found them, Commander. They're in the back."Ryan pointed towards the back. Meanwhile, Morphy, the senior second class soldier who was with him added timidly, "They're probably walking a bit slower, Commander."Relief instantly washed over Greg. He slowly released his grip on Ryan's shoulder. Greg quickly walked towards the back, waiting impatiently for the soldiers to arrive.Meanwhile Ryan exchanged puzzled glances with Morphy at the commander's reaction which they found very surprising.Could it be because the missing soldier was the king's future son-in-law? That's why Commander Sehel looked so panicked? Ryan thought.Morphy, who saw Greg standing quite far away from th
