"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'

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

Alen and Diego were getting ready for the second stage of their training. They were nervously waiting for their names to appear on the screen in front of them. Suddenly, Greg's voice came over the speaker, "Now pay attention to the screen and go to the training center immediately according to the list on the screen!"Riley, who was always calm in stressful situations, immediately focused on the screen and read his name. Alen's name was the first to come up.Riley nodded and replied, "You'll make it."Alen smiled when he heard it and the he left that place.Riley then stepped up to the challenge, with James and Diego watching closely. James teased him, "If you fail, I swear I'll take you straight to a duel, Wood."Riley knew that James was just trying to encourage him, but his secret identity made him feel uneasy and overwhelmed. He replied, "That goes for you and yours as well, Diego. See you at the second training."James smiled annoyingly, "Don't worry! There's no way I won't make i

"We'll know soon enough," Riley replied, still staring at the screen.James, still munching on his bread, commented, "There are ten planes. How many potential soldiers can those planes carry?""100, I think." Riley looked around, now searching for the two figures of his roommates who were still not there.James stopped chewing immediately, "Wow! You know a lot more than that."But Riley didn't answer, so James continued, "Hey, your father was an ex-soldier, right? Come on, be honest!"Hearing this, Riley immediately turned around, "So what if my father was a soldier? And what if he wasn't?"James sighed and quickly finished his remaining bread before speaking again. "Then all the abilities you've shown so far make sense if you had a father who was a soldier."Riley looked around again, keeping his eyes peeled for Alen and Diego. But he still replied, "Makes sense how?"James was about to answer, but Riley interrupted him first, "Jason Hoult is not the son of a soldier, but he managed t

Diego ignored James' words, not bothering to answer the man who often threw out annoying sentences that only irritated him more.Then he read through the list of prospective soldiers he might know and came up with a few names from Dorm 2. The young man immediately nodded in relief, "At least I know three people from our dorm.""Good. Someone to calm you down when you start crying in the middle of a mission," James commented again.Riley really wanted to take a cloth and gag James' mouth so he couldn't talk anymore. Unfortunately he couldn't do that because Greg said again, "Your mission will be known when you are in your respective planes."Again they made no sound and waited for the examiner's instructions."And now please go to your planes and assign a group leader immediately," Greg ordered."Oh, one more thing," Greg said before officially dismissing them, "there are only a few food stores at your mission site. So ... you'll have to move faster later on so you don't starve."This l
