“If he can be reinstated, it will not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also use him to contain Ray’s old subordinates. As long as he is there, Ray will not be able to attack p>
“Absolutely not!” Kasen Durham, the Minister of Records, stammered, prostrating himself. “Michael holds resentment towards Prince Xander and harbors malicious intentions towards Princess Consort. If he defects during the battle, wouldn’t that be letting a wolf into the house p>
Xander stepped forward. “Your Majesty, I believe in General Osborne’s character. The fault of what happened back then lies in fate and has nothing to do with personal grudges. Now that the country is in trouble, he will definitely put the overall situation first p>
Arthur rubbed his fingers on the armrest of the throne and pondered for a moment. “Pass on my decree, reinstate Michael as General of Illustrious Valor, and guard the Imperial City p>
He paused, his voice low. “If he dares to be disloyal, he will be killed without pardon p>
Michael felt extremely surprised when he received the imperial decree.
He thought he would never have the opportunity to wear armor again, but he did not expect that Arthur would reinstate him because of a word from Xander.
“Prince Xander, why don’t you get straight to the point? Why did you recommend me to the King?” Michael didn’t believe that he was the only military general in the court, and Xander must have had other intentions.
Xander chuckled. “I do have selfish motives because only you are willing to risk your life to protect Athena. As long as you are here, the Imperial City cannot be breached, because I know you will protect this Imperial City with your life p>
Xander pushed the military seal in front of Michael. “Darwin is old, and among the generals that can be mobilized in the court, only you are familiar with Ray. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy is the only way to win every battle p>
Michael stared at the military seal and suddenly laughed, but the laughter was a little bitter. ” Prince Xander, aren’t you afraid that I will turn against you and join forces with Ray p>
“I trust you.” Xander’s eyes fell into the distance, where the lights were gradually lit up. “I have more faith in the loyalty and courage that the Osborne family taught you p>
The words struck him to the core, leaving his chest tight with unspoken feeling.
Michael thought, ‘My father once said that a military general’s sword should be pointed at foreign enemies, not at their own people!
His eyes were a little moist. He slowly picked up the tiger tally, and when he looked up again, his eyes were firm. “Okay, I promise you, I will guard this Imperial City and Athena p>
“She is not your Athena. She is the Princess Consort of the Xander Manor.” Xander corrected him.

Michael lowered his eyelashes, was silent for a moment, and said stubbornly. “In my heart, she will always be my Athena p>
Xander was speechless, thinking, ‘What a stubborn man p>
But now was not the time to talk about this; Northcold may launch a war at any time.
In case Northcold colluded with Ray, Petanion would be attacked from both sides, which was the most terrible thing.
The people of Pidence City were all panic–stricken because Ray was going to attack.
The door of the grocery store was firmly propped up by the owner with thick wood.
Children’s cries had not stopped from morning till night.
The grain store was crowded with people carrying cloth bags, and some people were quarreling over the last bag of flour.
Some piled up stones on the top of their courtyard walls to prevent rogue soldiers from breaking in.
What was more, some people took their wives and children and fled to other places.
Outside was chaotic, but the Xander Manor was quiet.
Athena stuffed the folded clothes into Xander’s luggage. “Athkar is mountainous, and it gets cold at night. Remember to put on these thick clothes p>
Her voice was soft. “Now that you are going to Athkar, it’s hard to guarantee the news won’t leak. Be careful on the way, and watch out for his flanks p>
Xander gently wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, resting his chin on the top of her head.
The scent of soapberry lingered in her hair, inexplicably putting him at ease.
