The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 273

She turned around and looked at Adrian before asking, “Are you asleep?”

Adrian too turned around and replied, “No, I’m not. What’s the matter?”

“I can’t sleep. What are you thinking about though?” Samantha asked.

In truth, Adrian was not thinking about anything. However, he was obligated to answer her question, or a sensitive woman like herself would surely think that he had something to hide.

Hence, he replied, “I was thinking about whether it’s time for us to buy a new house. This one’s pretty small so it’s really inconvenient

“You and your dirty thoughts!” Samantha’s face glowed red as she shot him a glare.

“How is that in any way dirty?” Adrian asked in surprise.

“What do you think? That sounded so dirty and nasty

Adrian shot her a smile, whose face had turned red once again. Although she claimed it to be dirty, she knew that their conversation was the start of a beautiful married life. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Thus, she had no idea what she could say at that moment. She was out of topics to chat with Adrian about, but she still could not fall asleep.

After racking her brain for a while, she said, “The Luposians have reached Southrive’s borders, so it looks like there’s going to be war soon. Things are going to get pretty chaotic here in Swallowston again,

Do you think the Luposians will affect our lives, Adrian? You’ve been in wars before, so you should probably know a thing or two about this, right?”

Samantha was actually rather worried about the Battle Warrior Department since she was bring protected by them.

Before Adrian could even answer her, she continued, “I heard that the soldiers from Wyvern peak have arrived. I’m sure something huge is about to go down if even they’ve appeared. Do you think our lives will get hit badly if a war breaks out?” Samantha had asked a lot of questions to try and get a topic started, while she and Adrian lay facing one another.

Adrian reached out to boop the tip of Samantha’s nose. “Those are all things that the legate should be worried about, not your You should focus on your company instead.

“The department will be around to help if something happens, or even Wyvern Peak for that matter. They won’t let the Luposians keep up this farce.”

“Still, our lives will end up being affected one way or another. I hear that the Luposlans are as bloodthirsty as wolves. Plus, they have a lot of veterans and countless assassins,” Samantha said in a worried tone.

Adrian nodded his head in agreement. “The Laposians have been nurturing assassins over the years, teaching them how to infiltrate a place even through the smallest of openings. I’m afraid some of them have already arrived in Swallowston.”

“But how did they get in when our defenses are so tough?”

“The Laposians excel in infiltration, plus these assassins have gone through special training. Our ordinary defensive systems may not be enough to stop them,” Adrian calmly replied.

“What will happen if another chantle incident like the one at the hotel happens in Swallowston again?

“I’m genuinely terrified now. I would’ve died in that hotel if not for the legate.” Samantha’s lips trembled, seeming rather

afraid

That last incident still haunted her, giving her calls whenever she thought about it.

Adrian consoled her and gently stroland her hair as he said, “The legate will protect us no matter what happens. We should

trust him.”

Samantha nodded. “I think he’s really outstanding. I hope this threat will pass as soon as possible. Meanwhile, you should try your best not to go to quiet places

“You must be able to defend yourself like me. I’ve got my pepper spray with me at all times,” Samantha said with a smile.

Adrian laughed at the joke Samantha had just made, patting her head as he said, “All right, that’s enough of you worrying about things way over your head. Swallowston will be fine, don’t worry.”
