With great enthusiasm Rowena added, "You can ask him for advice. I'm sure he'll be able to help us."The girl's face even looked radiant, but Riley shook her head."Why? You don't want to?" Rowena asked with a confused expression.Riley sighed, "My father ... he's been in that field, risked his life and has done a lot for this kingdom. And right now he's living his life like an ordinary person."He then turned to the princess and continued, "I don't want to see him thinking hard about the war anymore. I want my father to just relax into his current life with my mother without thinking about things like this anymore, Your Highness."Rowena was silent.The girl was instantly reminded of her meeting with William Mackenzie some time ago. If Riley wanted his father not to worry about the kingdom, his father, the most powerful general ever, did the same.The god of war also did not want his son to know of his arrival. He also wanted his son to not worry about anything and focus on his goal.

Not wanting to make James Gardner suspicious of him, Riley quickly replied, "Of course not. How could I be afraid of something like that?"James squinted, looked questioningly at his friend and then grinned as if he had caught his prey. "But, what I saw wasn't like that. You're ... scared. Come on, be honest with me, you're afraid of the camera, right?" James said with a lopsided smile still gracing his lips."It's obvious, Wood. Your expression says it all." James continued cheerfully.Riley immediately corrected his facial expression and replied in an exasperated tone, "Nonsense. My facial expression is flatter.""So?" James said while raising an eyebrow."I'm not scared, James. I just don't like it. Satisfied?" Riley replied, gritting his teeth in annoyance.James giggled, ignoring his annoyed friend. Unwilling to hear that annoying laughter, Riley chose to walk faster and left James who was forced to run after him.Oh my! Riley had almost forgotten what he was supposed to be thin

William Mackenzie looked surprised at his wife's agitation. It had been so long since the man had seen his wife so anxious.So, he chose to be more careful when responding to all his wife's words."Please, answer, Bill! Why are you silent? Is there a rule that prospective soldiers can be sent to the battlefield if there is an emergency?" Cassandra said fiercely once again.William grimaced and pulled his wife closer to him. Afterward, he hugged his wife while stroking her hair and slowly said, "I know you're worried. But, it's not just you who's worried, dear. Riley is also my son. I was the one who gave him permission and I was even the one who helped him enter the palace. I'm fully responsible for everything, Cassie."Upon hearing her husband's words, Cassandra cried even more. In the beginning, she was the one who was the strongest when letting her son go for the selection, but now she was the one who was almost going crazy worrying about her son."Then ... what should we do, Bill?

Someone behind the young man immediately interjected, "Hey, we don't know the situation and condition of our royal troops yet. Don't speak carelessly!"Riley turned his head toward the source of the voice. The person speaking was Damian Irving, one of the sons of the senior soldier who had also been his father's subordinate.However, Riley did not know if Sean Irving, Damian's father was still a soldier in the palace. But, if that person was still in the palace, his position must have risen to a higher position.As Riley recalled, senior soldiers who had good skills and a lot of war experience were usually placed at level one. And as long as Riley set foot in the palace, he still could not find out about the level of the soldiers due to his busy schedule as a prospective soldier. "I'm not careless. You're not blind, right? You can see with your own eyes how damaged this area is!" the man said curtly, seemingly disagreeing with Damian Irving's words.Damian sighed irritably, "The si

“How? Are you going to leave or stay here?” Colin asked.He and Kenneth seemed to deliberately want to upset James. Riley could feel it and was getting uncomfortable with the way the two men were acting.James replied, “The warrior leader asked us to wait.”He tried to control himself because he didn't want to be seen as a troublemaking soldier.“Oh, why don't you tell me that you're actually scared. You're ... just as cowardly as me,” Kenneth said.He looked down at James and then shook his head as if he was underestimating him. Colin also added, “You scream as if everyone else is a coward, when you yourself are the same. Where's that courage you bragged about, James Gardner?”“Gone? Afraid of war, huh? Wow! Is this what the son of a ... war general looks like? How sad!” Kenneth said as he smiled mockingly again.He then laughed again, but James was still silent, as if holding back desperately.“Never mind, James. Admit that you're a coward too. This is a real battlefield, not a pal
