Chapter 1181

Adrian and Crystal discussed Novemton's internal affairs over the banquet. After all, she was inexperienced in many areas since she had just become the monarch. Adrian shared with her some skills to be a more effective leader. The pair talked for a long time well into the night, when the banquet finally ended. *** Novemton's cities were brightly lit against the darkened sky. Crystal had arranged for Adrian and Gloria to stay nearby Navia Palace. She instructed drivers to drop them off at their accommodations. Along the way, Brett said, "Sir, I have other matters to attend to now that we’re back in Novemton. This is where we part ways.” "Are you not planning on going to Wyvern Peak with me?" "Not this time. My grandfather's death anniversary is coming up. I’ll be going to pay my respects. But don't worry, sir. I'll be sure to attend the selection and witness the whole thing. Feel free to call should you need me." Adrian nodded. "Okay, till we meet again then." The car stopped, and Brett disappeared down Novemton's streets. Adrian then said, "Mya, there's something I need you to do. After that, you can head directly back to Swallowston. Gloria and I will be back there tomorrow." Gloria had just recovered and was now a healthy, normal human. Meanwhile, Mya had one last mission before she could retire for good. She had wanted to retire a long time ago since her family needed her. "What is it?" Mya asked. "I need you to head over to headquarters and grab a few invitation letters for the selection's finals. Send them to all those who have retired due to old age or injuries. Tell them that I'd like for them to witness the birth of our new legate. "Aside from that, I want you to do your best to locate Daniel's wife and children. Bring them to the selection so that we may set an example for his children. I hope they'll grow up to be high achievers in the future." This was Adrian's biggest and final wish. Mya said, "Okay, I'll get to it." Adrian nodded at her, and she stepped out of the car. Before leaving, she looked at Gloria and said, "See you in Swallowston." "Be careful. I'll be waiting for you to hit the mall together." Gloria smiled. Adrian and Gloria arrived at their accommodation—the best and most luxurious place in all of Novemton that was even fit for a king. This place had been specially prepared for War Legate Draco. Nobody else was worthy enough of staying there. Upon entering the living room, Adrian helped Gloria to the sofa and smiled. "Let's stay here for the night and head back to Swallowston at first light. I’ll then take you to Wyvern Peak to watch the finals.” Gloria smiled in return, realizing how happy she was. She felt the warmth of being pampered by the strongest man in the world. Closing her eyes, she leaned in for a kiss. Afterward, Adrian said, "You must be tired. You should shower and get some rest."
