Samantha shook her head.

“He told me he’s got a few army buddies coming to Swallowston and would be out for gatherings, so I haven’t paid it much

attention.”

Samantha’s expectations of Adrian had dropped significantly as of later. When he first returned, she had been so strict with him that she controlled his every move, but after being together for such a long time, the couple had slowly grown a lot closer.

Rue acknowledged this and said, “Let’s not wait for him if that’s the case. Hurry up and come eat your food, Juno. Have you finished your homework?”

Yes, I’ve finished them all.”

“Good. You’ll be sitting for your university entrance exams soon, so you must focus on your studies. When you get into a good university, you’ll be able to become as capable as Sam.”

Rue was very fond of Samantha. Not only was Samantha beautiful, but she was also righteous, kind, and strong enough to lead an entire company.

Juno nodded, while Samantha brought out an exquisite–looking package and said, “This is for you, Juno,” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Juno put down her cutlery and asked, “What is it?”

“Go ahead and open it.”

Juno opened up the package, revealing its contents to be a cell phone. An extremely beautiful one for that matter. She had never owned a cell phone before, never having asked for one since she knew that Isla could not afford it.

Whenever she saw her classmates fiddling with their cell phones, she thought to herself that she would buy one when she had eamed enough money. But now, that wish has come true much sooner than she had expected.

“I got you a phone, but I want you to promise me that you’ll continue to focus on your studies instead of getting hooked on mobile games like those underperforming students.”

“Thank you, Sam. I’ll be sure to do well in my studies so that I can take care of you after I’ve graduated and found a good job.”

Juno poured her heart out, which was so touching that Sam almost teared up. She then patted Juno on the head before she suddenly thought of something. She turned toward Rue and said, “Have you seen the news from the Battle Warrior Department recently, Mother? It looks like Southrive’s going to be at war again soon.”

“Why?” Rue was slightly stunned.

“I hear that the Luposians were enraged upon learning that War Legate Draco killed War Legate Hydra. They’ve already reached Southrive’s burders.

“There’s a chance that their assassins might invade our area soon, so you should refrain from going out if you can,” Samantha urged Rue.

Hearing this, Rue’s mouth hung wide open from shock.

The Luposians have always been downright jerks. They were the ones to first invade Swallowston to murder Battle Warrior Lucas. Now the tables have turned, they are using Hydra’s death as an excuse to travel to Southrive’s borders,

“Looks like there’s going to be a major battle.‘

“Do you know whether the department’s doing anything about this?” tue asked.

“I heard that Battle Warrior Lucas is on his way to Southrive, while the Luposians have fortified their defenses. There have also been rumors that War Legate Draco is mobilizing the soldiers at Wyvern Peak.

“In any case, we should go out less often for the time being in case something bad happens.”

Roe fell silent when she heard this. She thought, If this is true, then Adrian will be going off to fight the Luposians again,

won’t he?

She genuinely did not wish for her son to risk his life any further, but he was shouldering the safety of their entire country.

“What’s wrong, Mother?” Samantha asked when she saw Rue slipping into a daze.

Rue hurriedly rearranged her composure and smiled. “I’m all right. By the way, Sarn, your grandmother will be turning seventy–three in two days from now. Will you be paying her a visit?”
