Rue’s stubbornness left Adrian feeling helpless.

At the same time, Juno was out in the living room watching television. But, in truth, her mind was already on cloud nine. Over the past few days, while Adrian was teaching her more about Herculean Boxing, she had sensed that he wanted her to become like him

Yet, Rue was very adamant about not wanting her to follow his path.

“Is something on your mind, Juno?”

Just as Juno was deep in thought, Samantha walled over and sat next to her with a smile on her face. Juno pointed to the kitchen and said, “Brother’s talking with Mother right now, and I think it’s about me. Mather sounds really angry.” Samantha looked toward the kitchen and guessed that Adrian was trying to persuade Rue. She smiled and asked, “Adrian’s trying to groom you into becoming like him. What are your thoughts on this?”

Juna remained silent for a moment. She could understand what Adrian wanted for her.

‘Everyone should have a glorious dream they’d like to pursue in life. But, I don’t know what path I should choose…”

At that thought, Juno shook her head. “I don’t know.”

Samantha stroked Juno’s hair with a smile. “It’s okay, you’ll know which path you’ll want to take in the future. All you have to do now is be confident in yourself.”

Juno nodded.

At that moment, Adrian walked out of the kitchen with a dejected expression on his face. Rue was clearly still against the idea.

“Did you get a scolding?” Samantha asked with a smile when she saw his expression, but Adrian merely put both hands into the air in reply.

‘Mother’s really adamant about this… Looks like I’m going to have to put this on the back burner for the time being.”

Over the next few days, Adrian tried to look for someone who would be capable of becoming the next legate. He had gone through all three million of Wyvern Peak’s soldiers, but none of them seemed like a suitable candidate to him.

Still, he did not give up.

Three days later, a piece of news spread throughout Swallowston-the annual church festival of Swallowston was around the Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

corrier.

The church festival, simply known as Church Fest, was a gathering held at St. Elmer’s Church of Swallowston. According to history, a general by the name of Saint Elmer once lived in this church.

Hundreds of years ago, when he arrived at Swallowston as a rogue, he led a group of rogues like himself to protect the tens of thousands of civilians in the country. After he fell in battle, the people built St. Elmer’s Church in honor of him.

Now, to commemorate his deeds, Swallowston would hold a gathering every year on his death anniversary. The people would come together and put on a huge show, setting up a stage and singing for three whole days.

The three-day event was set to start the next day. In fact, this event was the biggest and most unique throughout Swallwston.

That evening, Adrian and his family were having dinner when Rue suddenly said, “Church Fest is starting tomarrow. Adrian, Sam, I’d like you two to come with me to St. Elmer’s Church to offer prayers.”

Rue was a typical housewife who would go to church alone to pray for the safety of her family.
