The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 544

Adrian was walking backward ahead of Samantha, his front facing her.

He felt rather puzzled upon hearing her question. “What son? How do you know that it’s a son in your belly? What if it’s a daughter?”

Samantha rubbed her belly. “He’s in my belly so how can I not know his gender? I’m very confident that it’s a son. Would you

“What are we betting on?” Adrian asked.

Samantha thought about it and said, “If it’s a son, you’ll wash my clothes for the rest of your life. If it’s a daughter, I’ll wash yours. What do you think?”

Adrian had the awareness to know that it was just clothes. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Adrian said smilingly, “Let’s not bet. I’ll handle the task of washing your clothes for the rest of your life.”

Samantha glared at Adrian. “That sounds good. However, if I’m right about the baby being a son, what’re you going to name him?

Adrian said without the slightest hesitation, “His name will be Neo Xander. If it’s a girl, you can name her.”

“Neo Xander?” Samantha chuckled. “Look at you. You’ve already thought of a name early on huh? Otherwise, how could you come up with a name so quickly? And you say you don’t want a son. I can see that you value male children over female ones.”

“That’s not it. That was the name given by my father,” Adrian said as he beamed.

Samantha was puzzled

“I’ll tell you the truth. We were already engaged before my father passed, remember? He told me before his passing to name our child ‘Neo Xander’ if we had one. I suppose because it means “new beginnings,” Adrian explained.

Samantha thought for a while. “That’s a pretty good name. If it’s a son, we’ll name him Neo then.”

“Time for breakfast, Sam!” Joanna’s call was heard coming from uphill

Adrian hastily propped Samantha up, “All right, let’s head home.”

Both of them returned home and found that Rue had already prepared breakfast. Juno then walked out of her room and passed a piece of paper to Adrian.

“Here’s the letter, Big Brother. It’s all done.”

“So soon?” Adrian accepted the letter.

Joanna and Samantha gathered around. They were puzzled. “Juno, what’s that?”

Joanna stretched out her hand to sn atch it away but Adrian quickly pocketed the letter.

Joanna said, “What is it, Adrian? It’s not a love letter for some girl, right? That’s really bold of you to make Juno write it for you!”

Adrian rolled his eyes at Joanna.

Juno chuckled and said to Adrian, “Why don’t you read it? What if what I wrote isn’t good enough?

Adrian replied, “I trust you.

“All right, let’s eat!

After breakfast, Adrian sent the letter to Nowenton

Even though it appeared that the country had not undergone any changes, the major leaders of Internal Affairs in Novemton

had already gathered in Novemtom Hall and a special meeting targeting Wyvern Peak was being carried out.

The moderator of the meeting was the monarch.

“Everyone, I’ve already received the vote for Wyvem Peak. It seems that you are threatened by its existence.”

The monarch sat in the head seat and took a nonchalant glance at the people at the scene.

Chase said, “The country is at peace now. If we don’t eliminate Wyvern Peak, it will most certainly be a drawback for Internal Affairs. Wyvern Peak’s popularity in the country is at an all-time high now. Even War Legate Draco’s reputation has surpassed

yours, Your Majesty.

“Thus, Wyvern Peak must be dissolved. Otherwise, we’ll be playing with fire.”

“That’s right. If Wyvern Peak continues to stand, we’ll need to channel a large sum of monry every year to sustain it. We can spend that money on other matters. It will be better than giving it to Wyvern Peak for nothing.”

“You’re right. Even though Wyvern Peak has performed meritorious service to the country, the organization has been taking our resources for centuries. We’ll consider what we’ve given them as a small remuneration. If we were to let the legate go unchecked, his presence will threaten yours, Your Majesty.”

Every department pleaded on behalf of the people.

The monarch kept quiet for a while. Soon afterward, he raised his head and said, “This is a difficult situation. Since there’s no objection, I shall dispatch the order to hold a press conference at once. I’d like to personally announce the dismissal of Wyvern Peak”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Everyone answered.

However, it was at this exact moment when an Internal Affairs employee walked into the room and said, “The legate issued a secret order last night. Wyvern Peak was already dismissed before daybreak. There’s no one else left in Wyvern Hall!”
