Chapter 1186

Just as Adrian was about to exit the bathroom, Samantha grabbed his hand and said, "I think it's best you ask Juno how she’s doing. She was injured for years, and none of us wants to see something bad happen to her." Samantha was still worried about Juno. She knew Juno would be able to handle the usual training, but she was unsure if Juno's legs would be able to handle the pressure of her exceeding her physical limits. It was well-known how hard the selection would be. "Don't worry, I've been keeping a close eye on her." "All right then. Come and wash your face." Samantha pulled Adrian over. *** A car pulled into One Jewel Road at lunchtime, revealing to be a middle-aged man. The man's name was Dio, subordinate to a newly-appointed supervisor at Swallowston's Battle Warrior Department. When Dio walked in, he said, "Good afternoon, War Legate Draco." Adrian nodded. "Come in. Have a seat." Dio sat on the couch and said, "Sir, headquarters sent me to inform you that they've decided to have your speech at Songton's Lake Solunar. Her Majesty requests that you head there as soon as possible. In the meantime, she’ll pass on this information so that the candidates will make their way there.” "What about security? Has it been arranged? We have to ensure nothing goes wrong during the rally. I want all hands on deck to ensure the candidates' safety." "The battle warriors will be in charge of security during your speech. Her Majesty said she chose Songton because of its extraordinary scenery, which will surely ease any anxiety the candidates might feel. Lake Solunar is probably the best location throughout our country." Adrian smiled. "Okay, I should be heading to Songton this afternoon. You may head back to Novemton and arrange for the others to depart." "Understood, I shall leave you to it then, sir. By the way, how are you planning on getting there? Shall I arrange transportation for you?" Adrian shook his head. "That won't be necessary. I'll drive there. Songton isn't that far away. I should arrive there within a day's time." "Understood. I’ll be off now." After Dio left, Joanna excitedly said, "Songton's famous for its beautiful nature sceneries. I heard that the view of Song Mountain's Lake Solunar is breathtaking. Will you take us with you, Adrian?" He shot her a glare and replied, "This rally will be recorded in Novemton's history books. It’s not a children's game, understand? Aren’t you afraid of others badmouthing us five hundred years in the future when they read how War Legate Draco brought his family to the selection pep rally in Songton for a vacation?" Joanna pouted, while Gloria chuckled and said, "Adrian's right. We'll have other chances to go to Songton in the future. Also, it isn’t safe for us to go now since the outlanders will be keeping a close eye on the place. We'll be in danger if they try something funny while we're there. It's better for us to stay home. We'll organize a trip there when we get a chance." "Okay.” "When will you be leaving?" Samantha asked. Adrian took a look at the time and said, "The sooner, the better. I'll need to get there early to make some preparations to prevent any surprises.”
