Mary Kesley who was standing behind William Mackenzie with Vincent who was also watching the monitor could certainly see how agitated the general was. However, they remained silent, not responding.Suddenly William got up from the chair, "Vincent, we're going home."Mary's eyes widened, "General?"William sighed and smiled faintly at the beautiful girl who looked shocked. "James is not like Jody, Mary."He paused for a moment before continuing, "And Riley ... he must have known what he was doing, along with the risks. I'm sure he's thought things through and I think he can handle himself.""But, General. Isn't their closeness very dangerous?" Mary asked, who still looked confused.William shook his head, "That's true, but what I saw earlier was enough to show that ... those two kids are becoming friends. That's different from Jody and me in the past."Vincent, William's personal bodyguard was just as confused as Mary. Until then he who was worried about his young master also said, "Sir
William, feeling he had no choice, finally said, "Your Royal Highness, I apologize in advance.""You must have been very surprised to see me. I ... entered the palace only to see the condition of my son, who was participating in the selection process for future soldiers," William continued.Rowena frowned but still said nothing."The palace does not allow prospective soldiers to contact their families. You must also know that their cell phones are confiscated. But, Your Highness ... as a father, I am very concerned about my son's condition, I want to see him, if only for a moment, to make sure he is okay," William explained at length.Rowena looked at the middle-aged man and took in his appearance.His appearance is clean and not suspicious. He looks like a pretty noble guy. Oh, maybe he's a businessman. Rowena Wellington thought."Then how did you get into the palace? Security is very tight and this area ... not many people know about it. Who told you? Were palace staff involved?" Row
William Mackenzie's two bright brown eyes immediately rounded in surprise, not expecting to hear those words from a king's daughter he had just seen in person.Vincent, the personal bodyguard of the former greatest general of the war, also looked shocked, but he still managed to control his emotions.Meanwhile, Rowena Wellington stared at the legend with a gaze that suddenly glittered with admiration. It was as if the eighteen-year-old girl had just met a star that the youth admired."Your Highness, you ... know about my son and me? But how is that possible?" William said in an incredulous tone.Rowena, who had been looking dumbfounded, immediately recognized herself and cleared her throat to regain her dignity as a member of the royal family, "I actually ... I found out by accident."William's thick eyebrows knitted together and he squinted at the princess curiously, "By accident, Your Highness? How so? You ...."Rowena waved her hand, "I'll tell you."William's lips curled slightly i
In just a few seconds a large monitor in the center displayed an image that zoomed in only on the two suspected intruders.Andrew Reece squinted and examined the image carefully. In just a few seconds, the look on his face that had been unfriendly due to the annoyance caused by the two intruders now turned bright."General Mackenzie," he said incredulously.As soon as he said the legend's name, everyone in the room immediately took notice of the monitor. One of the officers who was about fifty years old also said, "You're right, General Reece. It really is General Mackenzie.""Oh my! He's in the palace."Someone else interjected, "But, what was General Mackenzie doing in the palace?"Andrew Reece suddenly smiled and said, "We'll find out soon enough."The man then gave the order, "Check every corner of the palace. Find anything that indicates his presence!""Yes, General Reece!" all the more than ten officers in the surveillance room replied.The man also ordered his other men, "Tell K
The staff replied cautiously, "I don't know, Your Majesty. Princess Rowena only walked in the same direction and back the way she came within a few minutes.""She was also seen walking by avoiding roads with guards and also areas with many CCTV cameras installed," he further explained.All his words could be proven by the video footage that was then played.Keannu Wellington's face immediately turned red. He was not only angry at his daughter for breaking the palace rules, but also embarrassed that his daughter's actions were known by many people. However, Andrew Reece said quickly, "Princess Rowena may have seen General Mackenzie, Your Majesty.""We can have a good talk with Princess Rowena, Your Majesty," Greg chimed in to try and cool down Keannu who was already angry.Keannu turned to the two men and reluctantly let out a long breath. The king with reddened eyes then ordered, "General Reece, you can talk to my daughter. I ... I can't talk to her right now. My anger could be explo
The war general replied, "I apologize in advance for my impudence, but everything I ask has the permission of King Keannu."Monica grinned in surprise, getting more and more curious but she chose to listen without intending to interrupt. Meanwhile, as she turned to her daughter, she could see that Rowena looked nervous.Oh, what did you just do, kid? You didn't do anything against the palace rules did you? Monica thought."Just tell me! I'll answer if I can," Rowena said in a calm tone despite the fact that she was very nervous."We found CCTV footage of you heading towards the south door. What were you doing there, Your Highness?" Andrew asked in a serious tone.Monica who heard that immediately opened her mouth, "What? The southern palace door?""What are you doing there, Rowena?" the queen asked as she turned to her daughter.Rowena was not only surprised, but her face had instantly turned pale. "H-how can there be ....""We installed CCTV cameras at several new points, Your Highnes
Rowena, who was still a teenage girl, replied without hesitation, "Unfortunately he did not tell me his son's name, General Reece."She was still determined to follow the war general's wishes.Andrew Reece held his breath, still trying to hope even though it was somewhat difficult, "Or perhaps he mentioned which dormitory he was in, Your Highness?"Rowena wore a regretful expression with a serious look in her eyes."No, General Reece. He doesn't even know where his son is. He hasn't had a chance to see him yet, perhaps because the palace is so large that he has trouble finding his son," Rowena explained with a shrug.Andrew smiled faintly, hiding the disappointment that had just hit his chest.The War General he used to serve for all those years had set foot back into the palace, but he didn't even bother to tell him. What was wrong with him? Did he not deserve to be told? All these questions, of course, could only be answered by William Mackenzie himself.However, how could he ask t
Andrew Reece was naturally surprised by the question from the king's eldest daughter. It was unusual for the princess to be concerned with matters of the palace. In fact, it could be said that Rowena Wellington didn't really care about anything other than herself. However, Andrew now realized that the princess' change had been visible since last night. Precisely when Rowena witnessed what happened in De Frost Forest.What exactly happened? Andrew couldn't guess the princess' reason."Why are you looking at me like that?" Rowena looked back at Andrew with her defensive gaze.Andrew shook his head, "I apologize if I made you uncomfortable, Your Highness. I'm just surprised that you are now starting to pay attention to palace matters."Rowena winked, turned her gaze around and was now looking at her mother who was also looking at her."What's wrong, Mom?" Rowena asked, starting to get a bit anxious if her attitude was making the people around her suspicious.Monica replied, "Just like G
