Phoebe sat down and held Blaze’s shoulder. “The word is out, and the houses are aware of what’s happening. Do you know what they’re saying out there? They’re all saying that the legate is playing with fire.“Do you think he’s trying to overthrow Internal Affairs for the world or himself? What do you think he’ll do when Internal Affairs cease to exist and he becomes the ruler?“Nobody throughout history has withstood the temptation that comes with power, and the same goes for the legate. When he climbs up to the top, he’ll surely lose his mind from all the power he comes to possess.“There’s no need for you to sacrifice yourself for the sake of him being able to live a better life, understand?” Phoebe said relentlessly.Blaze turned around and looked at her. He thought that Phoebe would be right to comment about others as such, but not War Legate Draco.“You’re overthinking this, Pheebs. The legate is already the second most powerful person in the world, so there’s absolutely no ne

These were the very people who were standing on the moral high ground.In just a day, not a single person was not hurling insults at Wyvern Peak and Draco. There were loads of people protesting, wanting them to get out of their sight immediately.***It was only natural for all these rumors to arrive at Samantha’s place at One Jewel Road in Swallowston.At that moment, she was standing in the observatory atop the villa with one hand over her belly. It was like she could hear all the insults being hurled toward War Legate Draco just by being there.She could hear them calling out his name in disgust.“Sam, Wyvern Peak and War Legate Draco have become negative phrases overnight. I can’t believe this! They’ve been protecting the people for so many years, yet not only are they being ungrateful, but they’re also openly hurling insults at them!” Joanna spoke with disgust as she walked up to Samantha.Sarah and Nadine were also in the observatory, looking into the distance.The women

Mya wiped her tears and cried, “Let’s give up, sir! Wyvern Peak is no longer what it used to be. We’ve been protecting the people for hundreds of years, yet we’re now being insulted by them.“Times have changed. We should let our men go home and live out their lives, while you should head back and stay with Sam. Let’s give this to Internal Affairs and forget about it!”Women were known to be easily emotionally moved. Mya had seen what the netizens were saying about them and thought that it was not worth it to have Wyvern Peak’s blood spilled for their sake.She did not want Adrian to get involved in the matter any longer and thought that they should just let Internal Affairs do whatever they wanted, with them watching from the sidelines.Suddenly, Mya got down on her knees and cried, “Please, let’s stop all this. These people aren’t worth risking our lives. Let’s just forget about all this and live our lives happily. Wouldn’t that be better? I can’t stand watching our brothers die.

Elaine looked at Alan in silence.‘Who’s going to protect us?’At that thought, she recalled the battle at Azure Creek where hails of bullets rained, and the countless battles Wyvern Peak had been involved in throughout history.From her recollection, Wyvern Peak was present during all these battles, while Internal Affairs’ Prefect Sentry had not done anything spectacular.‘Come to think of it… Alan’s right.‘Most of those in the Prefect Sentry have never been on the battlefield. Aside from that, there aren’t any famous generals among them. On the other hand, Wyvern Peak has Lucas Jenner, Raquel Zayn, and many other generals who have valiantly fought in battles.’Elaine was stunned at this realization. In a daze, she asked, “Do you think War Legate Draco would be able to abandon our borders if we do get attacked? Do you think he really has dissolved Wyvern Peak for good?”“The public opinion against him this time was too strong, so much that he couldn’t withstand it and admitted

However, Adrian remained silent.Not hearing an answer, Ivy spoke, “You could’ve at least told us you were alive! You seem rather carefree after dissolving Wyvern Peak. Do you have any idea what might happen now? I’m sure you know better than me.”Eira added, “Have you given up completely, Adrian? Do you realize what this means for the world? I think dissolving Wyvern Peak was a foolish decision.”“Please say something, sir,” Nyssa said.The women all looked at him in silence.After a very long while, Adrian finally turned around and swept his gaze over them.“Where are you all planning to go? Away from Swallowston?”Ivy tidied her hair and said, “Yes. We have to continue living on even though Wyvern Peak is no longer protecting us. We have to leave Swallowston and find a safer place to live in. We will surely die if we stay here.”“I’ve ordered ten thousand men to guard Swallowston in secret. They’ll ensure your safety, so you can continue staying here.”Ivy was surprised to
