Daria became a little panicked at Naura's words. Even though she realized that her daughter was drunk, she was afraid that all her plans would end just like that. And all this was because of Zachary, who had said all that in front of Naura and almost ruined her plans.Daria didn't understand where Zachary came from and knew the plan. Until now, she was staring at Zachary with a sharp gaze."What he said was a lie. You shouldn't trust that poor man." Daria rebuked him. She even wanted to ruffle Zachary's feathers here.Naura shook her head several times. She wondered if Zachary had never lied, and she chose to believe him. But her head still felt dizzy, so she had to speak by holding her aching and limp head. "Mom is so mean. I know Zachary didn't lie. Why do you want to frame me? What did I do wrong?"Daria looked at Lemos. She gave him an eye roll. Daria wanted Lemos to help her convince Naura.Naura leaned her body on Zachary's arm just like that. She really couldn't control herself
Zachary looked at him calmly. He didn't mind Lemos' challenge at all."I'm not afraid to spar with you. It's a trivial." Zachary returned the challenge by speaking steadily. The look in his eyes also showed no hesitation.This made Lemos feel fed up. He thought that Zachary was too arrogant, so he gave a slight grin. "You're being overconfident by saying that this is a trivial thing. But you need to know that all the drinks here have a high alcohol content. And a man like you would be frail. You'll soon be unconscious after just two drinks."Lemos gave Zachary another sneer. He slightly hardened his gaze as he spoke again, "but that's good. At least, even though you're poor, you're not such a coward despite your impending defeat." Lemos laughed quite loudly.Zachary still had a calm look on his face. But his gaze was sharper this time. "Alright, we'll have a drinking match right now. And if you lose, I will immediately take Naura away from here."Zachary's words were, of course, met w
An explosion sounded very powerful. Several people were fighting in a large area. Likewise, Zachary, who was the general there.He remembered being on the battlefield while still active in the military before deciding to take a break.The sound of gunfire and fighting had made Zachary more accustomed to such things. Finally, the sound of victory was heard."Most of the troops from the opposing side have fallen. And a small number are retreating. We have won." The cheering voice rang out loudly. Making Zachary smile faintly and quickly leave the battlefield.They ignored several people who were injured and even died. Meanwhile, Zachary's wounded troops immediately received treatment.Of course, they would celebrate the war victory by consuming several alcoholic beverages. Everyone enjoys a drink with a sense of pleasure. Usually, they would consume alcohol that was not too expensive but had a high alcohol content. They'd drink together, and it all seemed pretty impressive. He had gro
Daria was still trying to shake Lemos' body. She hoped Lemos would wake up and defeat Zachary. Because then, he could have an excuse to keep Naura away from Zachary. Then afterward, he would have a wonderful son-in-law. But she regretted it when she learned Lemos was a lousy person."Why doesn't he wake up? I thought he was perfect." Daria panicked."She should be able to step over that damn guy." Naura's mother muttered in her heart.Meanwhile, Zachary put down the drink glass calmly. He had also finished three bottles of drinks, but his face still looked normal, and there was no sign that he was drunk at the moment. He looked very fit.Zachary looked at Daria, who had just straightened up. He saw that the old woman's hands were folded. It was obvious that her face was also covered with annoyance..."You and Naura should just go home. There's no need to think about that man." Zachary spoke. He glanced briefly at the unconscious Lemos. "He won't wake up easily." He reminded Naura's mo
Athena was now facing Zachary. The woman smiled happily. "Sir, I have good news for you."Zachary looked at her. He put down the tea he had just sipped. "Tell me what news you bring.""All the wedding preparations have been finalized. Everything will go just as you wanted. A very festive and lavish preparation." Athena explained excitedly.Zachary looked at her and nodded his head. "That's good." She responded calmly. Zachary was confident about Athena's ability to take care of everything well.The woman was still smiling at Zachary. "Sir, there is one more thing I need to tell you."Zachary furrowed his brow. "Is there a problem?"Athena naturally shook her head. "No, sir. I also wanted to inform you that your previous troops might be here for the party. They are pleased to hear that their master is having a wedding."Zachary frowned again. "They didn't let me calm down at all." He spoke with a flat expression on his face."They are like brothers and of course, they are very happy fo
Some gossip started coming in about a big general who was said to be coming to town. It was all the rage at the top by some people on the sidelines of their busy lives.A man in black frowned. "I thought it was just a rumor. So apparently, it's true?" He frowned, talking to his companion.The long-haired woman beside him nodded. "Yes, I also heard the news about a general who is in the city right now. In fact, I also heard that he is a great general who has defeated many great enemy armies. He must be a very outstanding figure."Another man listened and nodded. "I have also heard about that. But I also heard that the great general is hiding his identity. Behind all the things we hear, he is very mysterious."The woman from before muttered. "I also don't understand why he has to hide his identity. He should introduce himself and be respected by many people. Everyone would also admire and respect her. I've heard that he once defeated a thousand enemy troops by himself. It does sound lik
Zachary overheard the conversation, so he immediately noticed the man who confessed to the rank owner the people were talking about. Zachary honestly knew that they were talking about him. Because only Zachary, who is a major general, is a hot topic of conversation right now.Zachary watched him quietly. "He has a lot of confidence and the courage to admit it." She smiled bitterly. He heard about the man's words that seemed to admit it...Zachary also approached and spoke, "Your master is perfect indeed. I have heard a lot about you. I've heard a lot about you." He deliberately complimented the man.Laude looked at Zachary, who had just arrived. Getting a compliment gave her a bit of confidence. Although this was not a compliment she should have gotten, for her, it was not too bad.Laude straightened his suit with a confident smile. Meanwhile, Zachary stared at him and said, "So does that mean you defeated those thousands of troops?"Zachary's words made Laude frown. "What are you ask
Zachary held back a smile as he found it amusing what Laude had just said. First, he had claimed to be Zachary, and now he was making up a troop name that didn't exist.Zachary shook his head lightly. "I've never even heard of that army name you just mentioned," Claude spoke. But his words certainly made Laude feel furious.Laude didn't seem to care about Zachary's distrust of him. But he worried his cover would be blown, especially since two other men had been there. Even Laude, if some other people also heard about it.He didn't know anything about the troops either. He was just making it up and hoped everyone would believe it easily. But Zachary's words made her a little depressed at the moment.Laude's face was filled with anger. He could barely contain that anger. "Of course, you wouldn't know about it. It's an elite squad, and only people from the elite squad hear of the squad I lead. Everything is even top secret that no one can know about." Laude managed to come up with an exc
