Chapter 1156

Crystal turned around when she heard this. "Draco agreed to it?" The woman nodded. "Yes, he has." "Did you ask how Gloria's doing? Has she been cured?" Crystal asked. "Brett says that Gloria is currently undergoing treatment from Lacey Yellen and Nicholas Frost, apprentices of the miracle doctor. She's out of danger now, and the legate says he’ll be back in Novemton within the next half month. He’ll be present during the selection to witness the new legate rising up to their role." "That’s good to hear." Crystal stood up. "Contact the elders, the Battle Warrior Department, and all other relevant parties immediately. Tell them to have every city in Novemton get ready for battle and that the selection will be held on October the sixth." "Yes, Your Majesty." The Battle Warrior Department of Novemton received word almost immediately after Crystal gave her orders. "Novemton has decreed that the selection process for Wyvern Peak's legate will be held on the sixth of October. All departments are to prepare in case of an ambush from foreign enemies during that time." "The selection is set on the sixth of October.” "Just today, Novemton headquarters announced that the legate selection process will be held on October the sixth. The process will consist of sixteen rounds of battles." Within hours, this momentous news spread throughout Novemton like wildfire. Everyone became excited when they heard the news. No one knew who the next legate would be. The suspense was palpable. Meanwhile, back at Swallowston One Jewel Road, Samantha, Sarah, Nadine, and Joanna were sitting and chatting in the courtyard. Their topics ranged from clothes to cosmetics, men to families, and then children. As they chatted` away, Adaline drove in. "Sam, I just heard something huge from Novemton." Adaline held onto a newspaper as she walked over. Samantha asked, "What is it, Ada?" Nadine and the others curiously turned to look as well. "Novemton has given out the order for all cities to be battle-ready. They're going to start the selection process for Wyvern Peak's legate on the sixth of October. Also, Adrian will be back in Novemton in fifteen days to personally oversee the process and choose the next legate he deems worthy." "Wow!" The women gasped when they heard this. Samantha smiled and said, "You mean Adrian will be back in two weeks? That most probably means that Gloria's completely healed and he's currently focusing on building up strength for the future." Adaline smiled as well. "I also heard that he's the one who approved the order. He has one last mission to finish. After he has selected the new legate, he'll be able to come home to accompany you and Nova." Adaline was genuinely happy for Samantha, and so was Joanna. "So the heartless man's finally coming home. Your days as a widow are almost over, Sam!"
