After the jeep stopped, Adrian and Crystal stepped out. Crystal was stunned when she saw how serious the atmosphere before her was."Welcome home, Your Majesty!" everyone shouted.Crystal took a deep breath and quietly looked at all of these people before turning to look at Adrian."Our hearts all connected the moment you decided to stand here. We all have the same goal in mind, and that's for the world to be at peace and prosper, with no one daring to invade us forever."Crystal shuddered and took another deep breath before she said, "I’ll need assistance from all of you from this day forward. Let us all work hand-in-hand to build a better future.""Until the day we die!" everyone shouted once more."Excellent! On behalf of the billions of people in Navia, I thank you all. Let's go."The crowd paved a path for Crystal and Adrian to enter Navia Palace. Upon arriving in the grand and luxurious-looking main hall, Crystal gave it a good look before heading for the throne, while the

The next day after the meeting ended, Crystal held a mega press conference. This was the first time she was facing the world, speaking to them from Navia Palace's main hall, becoming a symbol of hope for everyone.Or perhaps… She had become a symbol of life for everyone.People had accepted Crystal's existence. Some of them, of course, were observing her performance. Three days after she rose to power, she revamped all of the flaws that existed due to how Internal Affairs had run the country in the past. The Battle Warrior Departments were established, and the four major borders were restructured. Both internal and external Wyvern Peaks had been formed and completely under the command of Wyvern Peak's legate.After all of this happened, many began to feel how serious Crystal was about ruling the country. She was indeed doing her best to fulfill her duties. With her revolutionizing the world, many others began to pay more attention to what she was doing.Five days later, the elders

"Then congratulations on finally getting the time to kick back and relax. I'm sure our family will become a lot happier from now on," Samantha said with a smile."Adrian, look at your daughter. She's so cute!" Rue held Nova as she sat down, facing the camera.Adrian revealed a kind fatherly smile at Nova. "How heavy is she?""She's only in her first month, so she's just close to nine pounds right now. Don't worry, children grow really fast. You should hurry home to take a look at her."Adrian smiled. "Thank you for everything, Mother. Please take care of Sam and Nova. I'll only be home in a few days. There's still one small matter I need to deal with before I go home.""What? You're not coming home yet?" Rue exclaimed in shock."I'll be home once I deal with this one thing," Adrian said.Rue was about to say something more, but Samantha took the phone and said, "Go ahead and do whatever it is you have to do, Adrian. Take your time, we'll be waiting for you at home."Adrian smil

The middle-aged woman next to her cried when she heard this, while the middle-aged man smoked cigarette after cigarette.The girl once again said, "Father, Mother, I'm going to quit school and get a job. I'll take care of you two from now on.""No!" The man threw away his cigarette butt and looked at the girl. "You're our only remaining child now that your brother's gone, Olga. Also, what job could you possibly get if you don't finish your studies? I'll think of something for your mother's medical bills."The girl lowered her head. Her name was Olga Lector, and the man was her father, Bruce Lector. Her mother, Lily Hurst, was suddenly struck with a severe illness and they had spent all of their savings to have her treated. Olga wanted to quit school to find a job so that her mother's medical bills could be paid, and she was their only hope.The whole family sat there, depressed over what to do. Lily was always crying, and her body was growing weaker by the day. Her son had died in

Sure enough, Adrian was no different from what was on television.Excitedly, Bruised asked, "It really is you, sir. What brings you here? Is there something I can help you with?"Adrian replied, "Wyvern Peak has been at war with Internal Affairs over the past few years, and our supplies were cut off at the time, which is why our condolences have arrived so late. I'm truly sorry about Damian's passing, and I'm sorry you have had to suffer all these years."The whole family was stunned as they looked at Adrian in confusion.Adrian then made a gesture and Mya walked over with a bank card and paper note in her hands. She smiled and said, "This card contains one million and five hundred dollars, compensation for Damian's loss. We're sorry it arrived so late.""One million and five hundred thousand dollars?!" Lily's mouth hung wide open. That was a sum she and her husband would be able to earn throughout their entire lives. In a daze, she asked, "Th-This money is for us?"Mya nodded. "

After leaving Lector Village, the weight in Adrian's heart was reduced only by a fraction. The last thing he wished to do was go through the name list of soldiers sacrificed in the line of duty and send his condolences to their families. This was something within his capabilities and something he needed to do.Meanwhile, Mya felt much more at ease. Inside the car, she heaved a long sigh before she said, "Damian's family will be able to live their lives a little better now that they've received that money. We've still got a long way to go. Just thinking about it makes me feel so tired.""Where to next?" Adrian asked."Hang on, let me check…" Mya opened up her file to take a look. She then squinted and said, "Next stop, Yelloton. Onward!"***Adrian and Mya headed to the next location in their jeeps, distributing both the money and death certificates belonging to the families of the fallen. Due to how many people were on that list, plus Adrian wanting to go through them all personal

Adrian and Mya walked over, placed the flowers before the tombstone, and took a step back.Mya tousled her hair and looked at the tombstones all over the mountains and lamented, "They all sacrificed themselves when they're in their prime. Everything we enjoy today is what they gave us with their lives."Adrian replied, "Yes, you're right. The dead can't be resurrected, but someone has to shoulder their burden and move on. All we can hope for is for their sacrifices to not be in vain."Mya nodded. "I feel really sad whenever I come here. It's as if I can still see everything that happened before my eyes.""Let's pay them our respects and leave.” After Adrian said this, he bent his knees and was just about to kneel when Mya pulled him back up and said, "You're the legate. You can't…""Have you forgotten that I no longer am one?"Mya looked at Adrian and smiled, getting down on her knees together with him as they paid their respects. When they got back on their feet, Mya said, "We w

Lincoln turned around and looked toward the horizon. The spot he was looking at had an island, which contained a large number of corpses.Lincoln rubbed his eyes. "The mission Gloria undertook ended up with zero survivors, and I'm the one who caused their deaths for not arriving sooner. Five years since then… Yet their bodies still lie on that island. I really wish to go there and bring them back to give them a proper burial.""What?" Mya was stunned when she heard this and took a step back. "I feel very sorry for them too, sir, but do you have any idea how dangerous it is to be on that island? We don’t have the ability to do such a thing right now."Lincoln looked at Mya. "When else would we have the ability to do so if not now, Ms. Mya? The moment I close my eyes, I see them, sunlight shining on their remains and blown by the sea breeze."Legate, I remember that you were Miss Gloria's beloved. You're the one who was supposed to be on that mission, but she took your place. Are you
