"Thank you, Casey,” Adrian said before getting out of the car.Casey smiled at them. "It's been an honor to be of service, War Legate Draco. All right, we'll be off now. See you soon!"He was aware of his nephew's feelings for Gloria, so he did not want to stay there any longer than necessary, afraid it would prolong Reuben's heartbreak. After all, his nephew was just beginning to understand what being in love meant, so he was inevitably attracted by a woman's every move.After they left, Casey said, "You should stop thinking about someone you can never have. Gloria is one of the top ten most powerful people in Wyvern Peak, plus she's a reputable general. She’s out of your league." He seemed slightly disappointed as he looked at Reuben. He was not deliberately trying to embarrass Reuben, but it was a fact that Gloria was far too great to be with a man like him. "I never said I have feelings for Ms. Sia. Also, am I not allowed to just admire her? Who says I have to get together w

At four in the afternoon, a private jet landed at Novemton's international airport. Crystal and a few core members had arrived half an hour earlier, while reporters and social media platform representatives took pictures. As Adrian’s group stepped onto Novemton soil, Gloria shut her eyes to feel the breeze of her motherland. She suddenly realized there was no place better than home. And this time, she was back in Novemton with renewed hope for the future. She was over the moon."Finally, we're home!" Mya exclaimed. Brett, too, smiled as he gazed around the airport. Adrian said, "This has been a fruitful trip, but there's one last thing I need to do before I can retire for good."Gloria and Mya smiled.Crystal and the core members approached when Adrian and the others walked out of the airport. She shot a glance at him before looking toward Gloria and saying, "Welcome home, Gloria!" Surprised, Gloria quickly shook Crystal's hand before proceeding to hug her. "Thank you for ar

Dominic stood up and said, "According to what the elders have discussed, the selection will be carried out in six locations—Cawthorn County, Rusouth, Rivton, Drogoton, Dillonia, and Northbound. "The preliminary round will be carried out in the six locations simultaneously, where half of the candidates will be disqualified. We’ll then hold the challenger round in Novemton to select the finalists."The final round will be held at Wyvern Peak, where War Legate Draco will personally announce who the next War Legate of Wyvern Peak will be two days after the finals are concluded."In the past, the selection would always be held at Wyvern Peak. This time, they had taken into consideration that Wyvern Peak's headquarters was in the outlands. It would be inconvenient to hold such a large-scale event there in case the outlanders attacked. Thus, the ten elders decided that the selection would be held at six different locations across Novemton.After listening to Dominic's report, Adrian said

Adrian and Crystal discussed Novemton's internal affairs over the banquet. After all, she was inexperienced in many areas since she had just become the monarch. Adrian shared with her some skills to be a more effective leader.The pair talked for a long time well into the night, when the banquet finally ended.***Novemton's cities were brightly lit against the darkened sky.Crystal had arranged for Adrian and Gloria to stay nearby Navia Palace. She instructed drivers to drop them off at their accommodations.Along the way, Brett said, "Sir, I have other matters to attend to now that we’re back in Novemton. This is where we part ways.”"Are you not planning on going to Wyvern Peak with me?""Not this time. My grandfather's death anniversary is coming up. I’ll be going to pay my respects. But don't worry, sir. I'll be sure to attend the selection and witness the whole thing. Feel free to call should you need me."Adrian nodded. "Okay, till we meet again then."The car stopped,

"Novemton’s really beautiful. I'd like to go shopping. Will you come with me?" Gloria asked as Adrian showed a startled expression. 'I suppose it's natural for Gloria to want to go shopping. Now that she's recovered and in a good mood, I can't blame her for wanting to take a stroll since she never got the chance before.’He agreed to Gloria’s request. "Sure, let's go shopping. We can buy some gifts for the family too."The couple held hands and headed downstairs.***People were bustling about on the streets of Novemton, contributing to a lively atmosphere. Adrian and Gloria strolled along, admiring the many malls lining both sides of the road. This excited Gloria, enhancing her desire for a beautiful life even more. It had been a long time since she was this happy.Gloria dragged Adrian into a large mall. Like an angel, she flitted through aisles of clothing, feeling their material as she passed by. Adrian was happy to see how much fun she was having.Picking up a piece of clo

Gloria was in a splendid mood, eager to hurry home. Their plane landed two hours later. Samantha, Rue, Adaline, and Gracia were waiting outside the airport. Samantha was carrying the five-month-old Nova in her arms, who was crying and whining. She found out that Adrian was returning when she saw the Novemton News. Hence, they had come to the airport early this morning. When Adrian and Gloria stepped out of the airport, Samantha waved and called out, "Adrian, Gloria! Over here!" The couple quickly walked over when they saw Samantha and the others. The two women beamed as they embraced one another. "It’s so good to see you again, Sam." Gloria did not know whether she would have a future when she left, but everything was different now. Bursting into tears of joy, Samantha smoothed the flyaway hairs around Gloria's face and smiled. "You make it sound like we've been separated for a really long time. Are you feeling better now?"Gloria nodded happily. "I'm fully cured. I'm just l

"You’re so chubby now. Be careful that you can’t lose weight in the future," Adrian said as he looked at his daughter. Samantha stifled a laugh. "Zip it! What she has is baby fat. It should disappear when she grows up."Adrian smiled and showered Nova with love. Rue said, "All right, we should go home. I've prepared food for everyone.""Okay. Let’s get in the car, dear." Samantha lovingly held Adrian's arm. She looked at Gloria and Gracia. "Come with us."Gloria then brought Gracia into the car with them, and they all went home.As usual, Rue already had food prepared. Joanna was inside the villa, scrambling to set the table. She had become a lot more feminine than before, probably because of Samantha’s influence. Jonna had planned to move out of One Jewel Road but gave up after Samantha objected. The main reason she decided to stay was because she did not want Samantha to feel lonely. After all, Adrian was often away from home. Joanna had finished setting the table when the

This was the first time in history that Wyvern Peak was allowing women to participate in the selection. Thus, just as Adrian said, the female candidates were the highlights of the event. "Can I tag along, Adrian?" Joanna asked eagerly.Adrian nodded. "Sure. I'll have someone come and drive you all to Wyvern Peak when it’s time. It'll be a good chance for you guys to see what the place looks like too.""It's a promise then. Remember to ask someone to pick us up, okay?" Adrian smiled. ***Swallowston was still brightly lit despite it being nighttime. Rue took Nova to her room to get some sleep, while Gloria and Gracia headed back to their own room. The siblings had a lot to talk about, after all.Rue took Nova because it had been a very long time since Samantha had seen Adrian. As a woman, she knew how much they must have missed each other, and Samantha must have had a lot of things she wanted to tell her husband.The room was filled with warmth with the moonlight shining in.
