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
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
