The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 702

Megan was at a loss for what to do.

Adrian said, “I brought them here to show all of you that there’s no hardship in this world that can’t be overcome. As long as you’re still alive, there’s hope.”

‘So being alive is hope?”

Eira did not respond and the room was silent.

Ivy walked over and knelt before Eira. She placed her hand on Eira’s shoulder and said, “Maybe Adrian’s right. Being alive is hope. Although twelve years have passed, your parents never stopped looking for you. Perhaps, Adrian is right.”

Eira was still crying.

Ivy stood up and looked toward Adrian. “Legate, I’ll tell you everything that we’ve experienced and everything that you wish to know. However, I have one condition that you must agree to.”

Adrian nodded.

Ivy continued, “None of us here have any living family other than Eira. However, no one wants to die and everyone wants to live. Wyvern Peak will be duty–bound to protect us and ensure our safety.”

Adrian nodded once again and said, “This has been our responsibility from the start. It’s just that none of you trusted me.”

Upon saying that, Adrian walked over and got down on his knees before Eira too. He stretched out his hand to tilt her head up, wiping away the tears on her face with his thumb. He said with a gentle voice,

“Eira, your parents have had a tough life, and so have you. Though you can’t change your past, you can change your future. You can have a fresh start now.”

Adrian helped Eira to her feet. He then turned and said to the group of women, “I swear on my name to eliminate every person who wants to change the country’s future. I’ll never let any existing threat slip past. Otherwise, I’m undeserving of being Wyvern Peak’s leader.

“You have this room to yourself today. Once you’ve things figured out, come and see me at my office upstairs. I’ll be waiting for

you

there.”

He then strode out, leaving the women and Eira’s family in the room.

Watching Adrian depart, Megan asked Eira in astonishment, “Is that man War Legate Draco, Eira? Is this place Battle Warrior Tower?”

Eira nodded.

Megan’s family was astonished.

Wiley asked, “How did you get acquainted with the legate, Eira? What’s going on?”

“It’s a long story…” Eira sighed.

She looked down upon saying that and bowed toward Megan and Joel. “Father, Mother, I haven’t been a good daughter. I’ve let you down. It’s my fault for making you search for me for twelve years. Please accept my apology!”

“Uh…” Megan panicked. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Eira bowed a few times.

Ivy helped her upright and said, “Eira, I think Wyvern Peak is right. Perhaps they have their own difficulties too, just like us. Since you’ve been reunited with your family, it signifies the beginning of a new life. We shouldn’t continue down the wrong path.”

Eira nodded.

Ivy smiled at Megan and said, “Hello, ma’am. My name is Ivy Cox, and I’m Eira’s best friend for the past few years. Eira didn’t go home to see you because she had her difficulties. That person would’ve killed you guys if they found her family was still

alive.”

“Who?”

“Eternity,” Ivy replied.
