Samantha was enveloped by the event’s atmosphere the moment she got out of the car. Hand–in– hand, she, Joanna, and Junn walked through the streets while Adrian followed behind them.

It was a loucus

There were cheers, people yelling out their wares for sale, and many more sounds echoing from both sides. It was a joyous occasion that Adrian rarely had the luxury of enjoying

The choir was still singing at the foot of the mountains. Aside from that, the fragrance of Swallowston’s local delicacies emanated throughout the air, making Adrian recall a time very, very long ago when Rue often brought him to the church.

Adrian, purely focused on having fun, suddenly thought of someone.

“Mother, someone just came to mind. I wonder if you: I remember him,” Adrian rushed over to Rue’s side and asked, who was rather curious about it.

As they walked, she asked, “Who is it?

“He used to sell carved wooden dolls outside the church, and I remember him knowing a thing or two about astrology as well”

Many years ago when Adrian was around ten, he came across this wooden–doll maker outside St. Elmer’s Church when he was there with Rue and Henry. They even bought him one of the dolls at the time.

Adrian was able to remember the doll maker’s nickname–Carver. And the man had said something to Henry about Adrian back then.

Rue’s impression of Carver was rather faint, so it took her a long time before she was able to recall him. “Do you mean Carver? I remember him now. He once said that a new legate was about to be born at Wyvern Peak, and the new legate would be a Xander.”

Adrian nodded. “Yes, he did. Father even laughed and joked that I had the makings of becoming a great general ”

“Holy sh*t Is he really that accurate?” Joanna asked in shock.

‘Is this astrologer really that insightful?”

Adrian turned toward Joanna and said, “I don’t know about that, but Carver did say that the next legate of Wyvern’s Peak would be from the Xander family.

“Now that I think of it, Carver does have good judgment of character. Have you seen him over the years, Mother?

Rue shook her head. She visited the church every year, but she could not recall seeing him.

“I haven’t seen him over the past few years. He can’t possibly be at the church all the time, can he? Who knows? He might. even have passed away by now.

“Why are you looking for him?”

Adrian remained silent, thinking that it was a pity Carver was not around. ‘I thought of consulting him about Wyvern Peak’s

future if he were around

Samantha walked over and grabbed Adrian’s arm before leaning into his ear. “Are you planning on asking him who the next legate is?”

“You know me so well, sweetheart. I just can’t hide anything from you.” Adrian pinched Samantha’s nose as the latter

chuckled

Without saying anything more, Adrian and Rue headed toward St. Elmer’s Church.

There were many people around the church at that moment, lining up for a place to pray. Adrian and his family stood in queue quietly. Unfortunately, Adrian failed to locate Carver among the crowd.

Sensing his disappointment, Samantha consoled him by saying, “It’s all right, dear. Perhaps he can’t be here because of some personal matters. There’s always a chance he’ll be here tomorrow, right?”

In truth, neither of them even knew if Carver was still alive, but Adrian still shot Samantha a smile.
