"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.

Just as Adrian was about to exit the bathroom, Samantha grabbed his hand and said, "I think it's best you ask Juno how she’s doing. She was injured for years, and none of us wants to see something bad happen to her."Samantha was still worried about Juno. She knew Juno would be able to handle the usual training, but she was unsure if Juno's legs would be able to handle the pressure of her exceeding her physical limits. It was well-known how hard the selection would be. "Don't worry, I've been keeping a close eye on her.""All right then. Come and wash your face." Samantha pulled Adrian over.***A car pulled into One Jewel Road at lunchtime, revealing to be a middle-aged man. The man's name was Dio, subordinate to a newly-appointed supervisor at Swallowston's Battle Warrior Department.When Dio walked in, he said, "Good afternoon, War Legate Draco." Adrian nodded. "Come in. Have a seat."Dio sat on the couch and said, "Sir, headquarters sent me to inform you that they've deci

Samantha offered, "I'll help you pack later."***After lunch, Samantha went to the room to pack Adrian's luggage. Songton was more than a thousand kilometers away and he was going to be there for a few days, so she packed more clothes.Just as she was packing, Adrian walked in and hugged her from behind. After a slight startle, Samantha nuzzled Adrian's face. "What's the matter?"He nibbled on her ear and held her tightly in his arms. "The new legate will represent our future, so I can't let it proceed unattended. Once it’s over, I'll come home and accompany you for some time."Samantha was, of course, able to read between the lines when Adrian said “some time.” She wrapped her arms around his neck and grunted, "And where will you be going after some time? Are you going to leave me at home again?"Adrian pondered for a moment. "Nicholas and I will be going to the Uduma Desert and the snowy mountains in Mount Shangspar next February to investigate the truth about Partingia and

Samantha added, "I've got Nova with me too."Adrian stroked her hair. "All right, I should head over to Songton now. I’ll probably be there by tomorrow morning.""Here you go." Samantha handed over his luggage. "I can't even imagine any other wife who’d be as kind and understanding as me. You'd better make it up to me in the future.""I'll make it up to you for the rest of my life." Adrian pinched her cheek.Samantha giggled, while Adrian grabbed his luggage. "I'm off then."Samantha nodded. "I'll ask Jojo to drive you to the airport.""Okay.”***Once again, Adrian left home, with Joanna rushing him to the airport. During the journey, Joanna said, "I can't believe you. You've only been back for less than a day and you're heading out again. When will this ever end?"Adrian glanced at her and smiled. "What's the matter? You seem different than usual.""Well, of course. I realized that being the legate is a really tough job. You're always so busy, and everywhere you go is fil

Joanna soon pulled into Swallowston Airport, where Adrian checked into his flight.Songton was a city inside of Novemton, said to be the most beautiful around. This was thanks to its spectacular natural scenery like Lake Solunar, Song Mountain, Windy Bay, and five other local attractions. Crystal had put in a lot of effort before finally deciding to hold the pep rally there. However, Songton did not have an airport, so Adrian needed to land somewhere in the Northwest before taking a train to Songton. After that, he would have to take a bus to the city center. The entire trip would take more than a day. As Adrian departed, Novemton headquarters issued an order, asking for all Battle Warrior Departments to send out their best people to escort the candidates to Songton. The candidates throughout the cities went on their way.***The pep rally would be held in seven days, providing ample time for candidates to prepare themselves. Over the next few days, the candidates representing

Meanwhile, her parents, whose faces were full of wrinkles despite being only in their thirties, were also busy harvesting.A thick silence hung between the girl and her parents. The girl's name was Sage, and she had a little brother who was in the first year of high school. Sage was the girl with the brightest future in her village.

She never thought she would ever get into Southeast University. However, her excitement proved short-liv

Jamie gave no response. He was surprisingly calm when he heard what Garret said. All he did was glance at Sage before saying, "Fine, go." Sage knew her father had said that out of anger, and that her parents would be extremely saddened if she chose to go. Thus, she stood there with her head lowered. She had a dream. She hoped to become the person she wanted to be through her own efforts. However, her parents did not understand her intentions. She did not dare to leave without her parents' blessing. She knew that her parents had gone through a lot to raise her, and she did not want to be ungrateful to them. Yet, she did not wish to give up on her hopes even more."Jamie, what's wrong with you? Even if she doesn't get chosen to become the legate, she'll still be doing our village proud.”Garret tried to persuade Jamie when he sensed how cold the latter was being. He knew Jamie's family did not wish for their daughter to walk this path.Sage stood by the side, waiting for Garret to
