LOGINDilion explained, “There’s a serious problem unfolding in the Kingdom of Ashwin, General.”Nathan raised an eyebrow and immediately asked, “A problem? What kind of problem?”Ah, Nathan couldn't help feeling a little annoyed with himself for not gathering enough information about the Kingdom of Ashwin.After all, he was about to travel to a kingdom he had never visited before. He should have been much more cautious.Even though he knew Ashwin wasn't a powerful kingdom like the Kingdom of Veldera, he still thought he had been careless.“Well ... they're dealing with an internal conflict. The King of Ashwin is currently at odds with the Prime Minister. According to the rumors, the Prime Minister wants the King to abdicate because he believes His Majesty has failed to make the kingdom prosper.”Nathan looked at his subordinate with both surprise and curiosity.“And the King refuses to step down?”Dilion shook his head.“On the contrary, the King wants to abdicate as soon as possible and l
Extra Part 7“So, what are you going to do, Nathan?” Jefry asked, a deep frown clearly etched across his face.Nathan let out a quiet sigh. “Of course, I have to find him before anyone else does.”“You're going to leave and search for him?”Nathan nodded and called one of his subordinates over. He gave the man several orders and instructed him to carry them out immediately.Still shocked by Nathan's decision, Jefry asked again, “Are you sure you're going? Isn't—”“I can't just sit here waiting for news, Jeff. I'll be gone for one week. If I still can't find him after a week, I'll come straight back,” Nathan interrupted without the slightest hint of hesitation.Jefry Milton desperately wanted to stop his friend from leaving. However, he knew Nathan was not someone who changed his mind easily. In the end, he abandoned the idea and chose to support him instead.“In that case, don't forget to let me know whenever you find a lead.”Nathan nodded once more.Still unable to put his mind at e
The order continued to echo in Nathan's ears even after he and Jefry left Aldric's study.They walked through the long palace corridors without saying much. Only when they reached the front courtyard did Jefry finally turn to him.“So?”Nathan let out a long sigh.“I haven't given him my answer yet.”“But you will accept.”Nathan glanced at his old friend.“I have a wife now. And a son who is only a few months old.”“And you also have a king who is asking for your help, Nathan. What are you going to do?” Jefry asked.Nathan remained silent.Jefry simply sighed.That night, Nathan told Angela everything.They were in their bedroom. George, their tiny son, was fast asleep in his cradle.Nathan sat on the edge of the bed while Angela listened quietly.“So the king wants to find that doctor for Prince Liam?” Angela asked.Nathan nodded.“His name is Aresh Vian.”“And you may have to go look for him?”“Yes.”Angela fell silent for a moment.Nathan had expected his wife to try to stop him.
“I am serious, Your Majesty.”“But he ... he already put you through ....”The room fell silent once again.The afternoon sunlight streamed through the study window, making the atmosphere feel even calmer.Nathan looked at the two men before him and continued,“I have not forgotten what happened in the past. But he still deserves the chance to regain his sanity.”His gaze lowered slightly.Aldric and Jefry listened quietly.Those words immediately left Aldric speechless.Seeing the king's expression, Nathan smiled faintly.“And I don't want to see Your Majesty burdened with regret for allowing Prince Liam's condition to remain as it is.”For a few moments, no one spoke.Then Aldric finally nodded slowly.“Thank you, General.”Nathan simply returned a small smile.Three days later, a secret operation was set in motion.Under Aldric's orders, Jefry sent letters to kingdoms throughout the continent.The letters were addressed to royal physicians, renowned scholars, herbalists, and expert
That night, after his meeting with Liam, Aldric could not sleep.Ever since he had left the Eastern Tower, the image of Liam's face had lingered in his mind."You look tired."That simple sentence kept echoing in his head.For more than a year, Liam had lived in his current condition. During that time, everyone had assumed that his awareness was gone forever.But what Aldric had seen that afternoon was different.For a few brief moments, Liam had truly seemed conscious. He had truly seen Aldric—not as the prince who had been exiled because of a grave mistake. He had known exactly who he was.The next morning, Aldric summoned the physician who had been responsible for Liam's care all this time.The elderly man arrived looking slightly confused.“Your Majesty wished to see me?”Aldric nodded.“Please, have a seat, Doctor.”Once the man was seated, Aldric immediately asked the question that had been troubling him since the previous night.“Has Liam's condition changed?”The doctor appear
That afternoon, after surviving three separate meetings that had all somehow ended with discussions about marriage, Aldric decided to leave the main palace.He put on a simple cloak and was accompanied by only two trusted guards.His destination was the Eastern Tower.The stone tower stood apart from the palace's main buildings. In the past, it had been used to imprison nobles who had committed serious crimes against the kingdom.Now, it housed only one resident.Liam Slater.His cousin, who was serving a sentence of lifelong exile.As soon as Aldric entered the room on the upper floor, the scent of medicine greeted him.A physician on duty immediately bowed upon seeing the King of Veldera.“Your Majesty.”“How is he today, Doctor?”“More or less the same as usual.”Aldric nodded quietly.He walked toward the room guarded by several soldiers.The wooden door was opened.Near the window sat a dark-haired man gazing at the evening sky.Liam's hair had grown much longer compared to a yea
“Yes. She … went into the palace alone, Angela. But … of course she can handle it all,” Nathan said.The man then sighed softly and continued, “King Liam wouldn’t dare lay a finger on her.”Angela nodded, agreeing with what Nathan had said.“King Liam isn’t a fool, Nathan. Even though he and you st
As soon as Marry got Angela’s reply, she immediately turned to look at the person.Angela let out a sigh and then said, “You have to look at the person you’re talking to.”Marry snorted in annoyance, realizing that Angela Jackson really was as irritating as people said.The woman wasn’t just cold,
Nathaniel Lee, who was sitting in the car with Hector Corwell, immediately replied, “Don’t worry about a thing, honey!”“How can I not worry? They’re demanding that I step down from my position if I can’t prove it.”“But … you have me, and the company is yours. They have no right to force you to st
Nathaniel Lee didn’t really want his wife to be afraid.However, he had to tell her about the actual situation and what had happened.So he tried to explain it to her in a language she could easily understand.“Honey, I never thought I’d end up as a war general accused of plotting a rebellion again
