In less than three days, reports came in one after the other from all over Novemton. After War Legate Draco overthrew Internal Affairs, a chain reaction seemed to take effect as the outlanders left Navia's territories.On that day, news flew throughout the land.Novemton News reported, "We bring excellent news. Gorgonshire's battle warrior Lucas is currently rushing to the eastern border, leading a group of men to stop the rogues. Luposia's general has thrown down his equipment and retreated from Novemton."South News reported, "Battle warrior Raquel has led her men to the northeastern borders, causing the rogues there to retreat in fear."Southwest News reported, "The rogues within our territory have all retreated and the area is now under Wyvern Peak's protection."The outlanders suffered an overwhelming defeat. In fact, Wyvern Peak did not even need to use its soldiers to make the outlands' major organizations retreat.In just three days, news of the outland’s retreat spread f
Wyvern Peak's continuous spread throughout the country caused the people to feel that Draco was still pulling strings from behind the scenes.One morning while they were all enjoying their lives…Swallowston's skies suddenly became cloudy, with howling winds, lightning strikes, and crashing waves. The dark clouds seemed to come together, forming the shape of a dragon. The dragon-shaped clouds loomed all over Swallowston, with its head looking toward a particular direction, which left countless people shocked.Shortly after that, someone suddenly realized that the dragon was looking toward Swallowston Hospital. Almost at the same time at One Jewel Road…Samantha had just finished taking a shower and walked over to the laundry room to put some clothes into the wash when her abdomen was suddenly hit with a sharp pain. She fell against the couch as a red liquid flowed down her legs. Then, her abdomen began to contract."Mother! Jojo!" Samantha yelled.Joanna ran out from her room, wh
The thunderclouds across Swallowston's skies disappeared after Nova was born, and the dragon was no longer to be seen. All of Swallowston returned to its peaceful state.Countless people were beginning to discuss how Nova was destined for great things in her life.***"Nova? Why would she come up with that name? Could this really all be fated?" Somewhere in a small border town in Southwest, Lucas frowned when he heard about Nova's birth.Daniel, too, was sitting next to him. When he heard what Lucas said, he asked, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong with that name?"Lucas replied, "There's nothing wrong, actually. I read the book of prophecies before, and it stated that the child's name should be Neo Xander. Looks like Hannibal's prophecy isn't completely accurate.” He lamented over the accuracy of the book of prophecies since he had read its contents at Azure Creek Military Academy.Daniel replied, "You said it yourself, this isn't some kind of prophecy. Perhaps Nova's
Her theses and findings were collected and cherished by numerous scientists and faculties. In other words, she was one of the most talented lecturers at Skysouth University.Miss Polly went ahead, leaving Crystal behind in her room, folding her blanket. At that moment, Crystal saw the news being broadcasted on the television. "Ronald Nave, the monarch, has been eliminated. Even Reagan Nave, who showed up after to take over Ronald's place, was killed by Draco in the main hall. The whereabouts of Draco remain unknown, and Novemton currently doesn’t have a monarch."'Reagan's dead… My father's dead.'Crystal did not seem fazed by the news, perhaps because her feelings for Reagan had died many years ago. After turning off the television, she picked up her lecture materials and rushed off to her class.When she arrived, her students had already filled the place. She was the only lecturer who would have full attendance for every class she taught. The first reason being she was the most e
Still slightly startled, Crystal looked up and shot Adrian a cold snicker. "You want me to become the monarch?"Adrian nodded. "You're a member of the Nave family, so who better to be the next monarch than yourself?""Pfft!!!" Crystal could not help sneering, but her face was filled with disdain as she said, "Don't you find yourself laughable, Draco? You want me, a woman, to become the monarch of Novemton? Are you trying to make me a puppet monarch and pull my strings from behind the scenes?""Am I that kind of person to you?" Adrian asked."Are you saying you're not? Ronald's been eliminated, and now's the best chance for you to make yourself the new monarch, so why would you want to put me on the throne unless you want me to be your puppet?""Your father's dead. Nobody will be able to threaten you now. From now on, I’ll eliminate anyone who tries to threaten the Naves," Adrian replied."Do you think I'm a naive child?" Crystal frowned. "Drop the act, Draco, there's no need for
"Have a good hard think about what you dream of, what you envision the future to become, and what you want for working so hard all this time. Come see me when you have an answer. I'll be at Skysouth Hotel."Adrian turned around and left the university, leaving Crystal standing there in a daze. She turned to look at Adrian’s retreating figure and fell silent for a moment.'My dreams?'Crystal had a dream ever since she was little. She saw Ronald brutally murder her mother before her eyes. She saw her friends being bullied by others. But alas, she was powerless to do anything about it.'What are my dreams?'Adrian's words made Crystal's decisiveness waver. More accurately, he was slowly rekindling the hope she had buried inside her.At that moment, Crystal was trembling slightly. After taking a deep breath, she turned around and left, but not for the canteen. Instead, she headed straight for her dormitory, with zero appetite for food.***Night arrived, and Skysouth's streets wer
Crystal stared at the medal in her hands in a daze. She never once thought she would receive the opportunity to rule the world. She had spent all those years working hard, focusing on her research, just so that she would not have any regrets. She did all of it because she wanted to help more people and change their family's livelihoods.And now, Adrian was giving her the power to do just that.“C-Can I really do this?" Crystal muttered as she held the medal. Everything was proceeding at a rate too fast for her to fathom, making her feel extremely overwhelmed."Everything can change, so long as you work hard for it to happen." Adrian nodded firmly.Crystal looked up at him, not knowing how she was supposed to face the man who had changed her future completely."Let's go."Crystal nodded her head and softly responded, "Okay."The pair left the balcony and headed straight for Novemton.***Many rumors sprouted up in Novemton over the past two days, with who was going to become th
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
