However, after the king of Ans De Lou Kingdom conveyed all his offers, he still did not get a response from Riley. That made the king say again, "Oh, or do you have another wish? Don't worry! I can definitely fulfill your request."Riley immediately made a bow as a salute to the king, Keannu was immediately enthusiastic, "Yes, say it! Say what you want!""I beg your forgiveness, Your Majesty. But ... I don't want anything," Riley said in a firm tone.Keannu squinted, looking at the young man probingly, "No way. You want to refuse my generosity?"Steadily, Riley replied, "Yes, Your Majesty.""You can't. You must accept my offer," Keannu suddenly insisted.Riley took a slow breath and let it out before saying, "Your Majesty, I cannot accept anything. However, you don't need to worry. I will keep my mouth shut, I will not tell anything and anyone about the incident at the pond."Keannu still couldn't believe the prospective soldier, but he then heard the young man say again, "If you don'
Andrew turned to the young man, "Just like what happened to the warrior, she was also punished. Only, those who know what kind of punishment is King Keannu and of course Princess Rowena."How horrible! Is freedom that expensive? Riley thought."Oh, never mind. You don't need to think about that matter, all you have to do is keep your mouth shut and focus on your training. Remember, Wood. Only the best can become soldiers here," Andrew walked back as he explained that.Riley was silent and didn't ask any more questions. Andrew did not make another sound until they arrived at dormitory two."Uh, you have a lot of loyal friends!" Andrew commented with a smile.Riley looked towards the front and saw his three room mates standing in front of the main gate of their dormitory."Remember my message, Wood!" Andrew said without waiting for Riley's reply.The war general quickly turned around and walked away.Riley walked towards his friends with a flat expression."What happened?" Alen asked in
Riley was not the only one who was nervous. As he looked around, many of the prospective soldiers had anxious and nervous expressions on their faces.Oh no! How many candidates had lied about their identities? And why did they get away with it? Riley wondered.Then he saw James raise his hand, and Janice said, "Yes?"Has there been a change in the rules here? Wasn't everything checked before we entered the palace?" Alen nodded at James, agreeing with what James was asking.Janice explained, "Last night, the palace inspection department found some people who apparently cheated by falsifying the data of some prospective soldiers.""And those prospective soldiers were also sent home last night. Today, we will continue the investigation, except for the unscrupulous palace employees who have been exposed. So I ask you all to wait for the results of the cross-examination, which will take place in fifteen minutes," Janice added.After hearing Janice's explanation, some of the prospective sol
Janice Grow paused for a few seconds, which made Riley even more upset."You're all off the hook," Janice said firmly.Off the hook for what? Escaped? Riley opened his eyes immediately, feeling like he had misheard. But then he heard Alen say, "Come on, Riley!"Riley was still stunned and doubted his ears. How could he have escaped? But suddenly James Gardner put his arm around him, "Come on, let's get out of here, Wood!"Huh?So he really didn't hear wrong. He really did get away. But how?Before the young man, who still looked a bit dazed, opened his mouth to ask something, he heard Janice say, "Go ahead, future soldiers. You can all start training at the next level."James suddenly pulled Riley away from the building.As soon as they were outside the building, Riley looked around impatiently, searching for the young girl.James noticed Riley's strange movements and suddenly frowned, "Who are you looking for?""Mary Kesley," Riley replied without thinking.Alen immediately whistl
"Relax, Riley. You should still go there," Riley was determined.Hiding behind a large wall, he immediately folded the paper again and started walking carefully. Not only did he have to avoid the soldiers, but also the security cameras.A quarter of the way in, he gritted his teeth when he was forced to hide behind a large tree because he saw a group of soldiers who seemed to be at home in the area."Why are they just standing there?" Riley muttered.Unfortunately, it turned out that the six soldiers had not left, so Riley had to wait fifteen minutes before he could move on. He immediately racked his brain to find another way."Another way ... through Princess Rowena's residence. Damn it! It's narrower there," Riley muttered again.But he decided to take the risk and quickly turned around. He walked slowly and took another path that did not take him past the princess' residence, but he was surprised when he turned a corner."You ... what are you doing here?" Rowena stared in shock at
"No, Your Highness. It's not like that," Riley denied quickly.Rowena squinted and looked at the young man with her clear eyes, trying to look for signs of lies through Riley's eyes. But she couldn't find any, so the young girl, who was still 18 years old, nodded."Then tell me the truth!" Rowena said in a commanding tone, typical for a royal member.Riley thought about it, moistened his lips and decided to answer, "I want to see one of the female staff, but only because I want to ask her something, Your Highness."Rowena still waited for the rest of Riley's explanation. But it turned out that Riley didn't say anything after that."Hm, okay. I'll let you go this time," Rowena said quietly.As if Riley hadn't expected it, the young man suddenly raised his head, "Your Highness. Are you serious?"Rowena sighed softly, "Yes. This is because you saved me and I'm not an ungrateful person."Riley immediately smiled and let out a sigh of relief, "Your Highness, you ....""Let me finish what I'
"Oh, um... I'm ....."Riley cleared his throat to hide his nervousness. While James looked at his with his eagle eyes without blinking, as if he was questioning his roommate through his gaze. Although the lights in the room were not very bright, the two of them could still see clearly with the minimal light. Of course, Riley did not want to lose to James. He immediately broke their gaze and decided to walk past James, who was still staring at him in amazement. The young man then sat down on his bed before saying, "I'm ... from outside."James exhaled sharply and jumped back onto his soft bed, "I know you're from outside. I mean, where are you from? There's no way you're wandering around outside with no purpose or direction, is there?""I just did," Riley replied after hearing James' words, which ended up being an idea for him."Nonsense. You wouldn't go out without a destination. Besides, the risk of being punished is huge," James replied in an incredulous tone.Both of his eyes loo
Instead of answering Andrew's question, Greg laughed mysteriously, which made Andrew even more curious.But Andrew still believed in his old friend, so he finally just said, "Do your best. I hope it works.""It will," Greg said confidently.Andrew nodded and a few days later left everything to the man who already had a son studying outside the palace.Unusually, on the morning Greg was to start as an examiner, the prospective soldiers were not allowed to enjoy their breakfast. Instead, they were told to line up in the middle of the field thirty minutes before training was to begin."I'm worried," Alen broke the silence that surrounded his line.Riley, who was standing right next to him, replied without turning around, "Everyone's worried, Alen."Diego swallowed nervously. The young man who had cut his hair super short and was standing behind Riley also commented, "What are they going to do? This is the first time we haven't had breakfast."Meanwhile, the three's roommate, James, still
