Samantha shook her head.“He told me he’s got a few army buddies coming to Swallowston and would be out for gatherings, so I haven’t paid it much attention.”Samantha’s expectations of Adrian had dropped significantly as of later. When he first returned, she had been so strict with him that she controlled his every move, but after being together for such a long time, the couple had slowly grown a lot closer.Rue acknowledged this and said, “Let’s not wait for him if that’s the case. Hurry up and come eat your food, Juno. Have you finished your homework?”“Yes, I’ve finished them all.”“Good. You’ll be sitting for your university entrance exams soon, so you must focus on your studies. When you get into a good university, you’ll be able to become as capable as Sam.”Rue was very fond of Samantha. Not only was Samantha beautiful, but she was also righteous, kind, and strong enough to lead an entire company.Juno nodded, while Samantha brought out an exquisite-looking package and sa

Samantha was suddenly hit by a wave of memories when Rue mentioned this.Violet’s birthday was coming up in two days, which means the Cowells were probably going to prepare a party for her. When that time comes, Samantha’s aunts would probably be there too.At a loss, Samantha said, “I’m not sure if I should go since Grandmother despises me.”Nathan, Hugo, Francis, and Clara were going to be there, so Samantha’s presence would only serve as a laughingstock for them. However, it would not be logical for her to be absent either.“She’s still your elder at the end of the day, so why don’t you buy a gift and get Adrian to go with you?” Rue had always been one to respect her elders, thus she expressed this view to Samantha.“I’ll ask Adrian tonight and see what he thinks.”“Okay.”***At eleven that night, Samantha had already showered and was lying in bed as she read a book when Adrian got home.“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Adrian asked when he entered the room.Adrian had his ha

She turned around and looked at Adrian before asking, “Are you asleep?”Adrian too turned around and replied, “No, I’m not. What’s the matter?”“I can’t sleep. What are you thinking about though?” Samantha asked.In truth, Adrian was not thinking about anything. However, he was obligated to answer her question, or a sensitive woman like herself would surely think that he had something to hide.Hence, he replied, “I was thinking about whether it’s time for us to buy a new house. This one’s pretty small so it’s really inconvenient.”“You and your dirty thoughts!” Samantha’s face glowed red as she shot him a glare.“How is that in any way dirty?” Adrian asked in surprise.“What do you think? That sounded so dirty and nasty!” Adrian shot her a smile, whose face had turned red once again. Although she claimed it to be dirty, she knew that their conversation was the start of a beautiful married life.Thus, she had no idea what she could say at that moment. She was out of topics to

Samantha managed to slip into dreamland thanks to Adrian consoling her.The next morning, a series of changes happened in Swallowston. Unlike before, there were people from the Battle Warrior Department patrolling the streets.These patrols were tightening Swallowston’s defenses, causing all the other citizens to be afraid that something major was about to happen.***That morning, Samantha left home after she was done with breakfast.Adrian was about to step out with her when Rue stopped him.“Can I have a word with you, Adrian?” Rue said.As Adrian stopped and looked at Rue in confusion, she grabbed his hands and said, “I saw a lot of people from the department on the streets when I was at the market this morning. Is it true that Southrive’s outer region is going to fight the Luposians?”In the past, Rue would never be bothered about such things, but things were different now. This meant that her son was not going to be able to lead a normal life anymore.Adrian could tell t

Adrian started to drive off, but Barry suddenly shouted, “My mother’s going to die soon! She’s suffering from severe psychotic breaks. Sometimes she’s lucid, but other times, she behaves like a lunatic. The doctor says she only has three years to live at most if this keeps up.“Her greatest wish is for me to don a military uniform and return home a glorious man to make her proud! I want to become a soldier while she’s still alive, but I come from an underprivileged family, so I’m ineligible to enter the recruitment process.“Please!” Barry shouted.At that moment, the car let off a screech as it came to a halt. Barry’s speech had struck a chord in the deepest parts of Adrian’s heart.‘I suppose that’s the only thing he can do for his mother at this point. Perhaps I should give him a chance.’“You have three seconds to get in,” Adrian said.Barry fiercely ran toward the car when he heard this and dove back in.“Does this mean you’re accepting me, Master?” Barry asked excitedly.

Adrian made some arrangements for other matters in the department and spent a good portion of the day there.Suddenly, Samantha called Adrian to ask what she should get for Violet as a birthday gift. She wanted Adrian to get it for her because she was rather busy with work.Adrian promptly went to handle it.***On the other hand, Barry’s enlistment application was swiftly approved by the department.Barry joined the Battle Warrior Department but was not given the position of a soldier because he did not have adequate experience. He was different from most of the people joining the department because he was arranged to be by Adrian’s side with just an order.The department made arrangements and assigned Barry to be Adrian’s escort.An escort to War Legate Draco sounded like an extremely important position, but in reality, it was Adrian giving Barry an opportunity to learn.Barry received two military uniforms from the department. They were genuine uniforms of a Dragonshire sold

Barry nodded. “Yes, that was my father.”Adrian said, “Now that you’ve tooted your horn, don’t disappoint him. I have a task for you. Get ready and meet me outside.”“Yes, sir!” Barry answered hastily.Adrian then turned around and walked away. However, he suddenly stopped and said, “It would be best for you not to disappoint me as well.”Upon saying that, Adrian left.Barry inhaled a deep breath upon hearing Adrian’s remark. “Don’t worry, sir. I won’t disappoint you.”***Three minutes later, Barry was done preparing and arrived at the lobby of the Battle Warrior Tower. Adrian was sitting there and chatting with a beauty trained in the department.Her name was Shay Joy and she was Lucas’ subordinate.Shay was talented in devising strategies, usually staying behind in the command tent. She was not skilled in battle but was exceptional in coming up with victorious strategies. She had led the Bloody Tiger Squad that took out twenty thousand soldiers from the enemy country at its

By the time Adrian arrived home with Barry, Samantha was already home from work.The family had not waited for Adrian and were already having dinner.Samantha was rather surprised to see Adrian. “Why are you home so early today? Aren’t you meeting your buddies anymore?”Then, her gaze landed on Barry and she instantly recognized him.“Aren’t you….” Samantha could not recall his name.“Hello, Madam Legate,” Barry said.Samantha could not stand his greeting.Rue said, “You’re Barry, right? Come and join us for dinner. I’ll set up a seat for you.”“Th-Thank you, madam,” Barry said hastily.Rue added a seat at the dinner table and Barry did not decline Rue’s invitation either. He took a seat and ate with Adrian’s family.Adrian looked toward Juno who was eating quietly and asked, “How are your legs?”Juno answered, “They feel much better. There are feelings in my legs now but I still can’t walk. However, I can stand for short periods.”“Looks like Professor Shawn’s treatment pl
