Rue stood frozen to the spot as she watched Harold walking away.

She only recovered from her surprise when Harold’s departing silhouette vanished completely.

She went back into the house and sat on the sofa. Her mind was filled with the things Harold had told her.

Adrian was the war legate-the world-renowned “War Legate Draco!”

Rue had never imagined this to be true. She had always assumed that her son was just an ordinary person, but in reality, his achievements had surpassed his father’s by a few fold.

War Legate Draco!

The moniker was a myth and a legend throughout all of Navia.

Yet, Rue had now found out that this myth, this legend, was her son.

She was astonished and had trouble making sense of all this. She could not calm down and did nothing all morning but sat on the sofa in quiet contemplation. She even forgot to feed herself.

Adrian returned at noon.

Tm home, Mother. Is lunch ready?” Adrian asked as soon as he entered the house.

However, he discovered that Rue was sitting motionlessly on the sofa with tear streaks on her face. He asked in concern, “What’s going on, Mother?”

Rue raised her head and looked at her son whom she had missed for seven years. She found him to be slightly unfamiliar all of a sudden.

a

She was just an ordinary mother so she wondered what she had done to bring up a son that could shock. the world.

The ordinary-looking son standing before her was the current war legate.

Rue inhaled a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She then stood up and looked at Adrian ast she said, “Are you keeping something from me, Adrian?

Adrian was stunned ever so slightly. He smiled and said, “Mother, I’ve never kept anything from you. What’s going on really?”

“1 know everything.” Rue said, “Harold stopped by.”

Adrian stopped in his footsteps upon hearing Rue’s remark. He turned around and said, “So you know huh?”

Rue nodded. “You’re War Legate Draco.”

Adrian smiled bitterly but chose not to hide anymore and said, “Yes, I am.”

Rue Inhaled sharply upon hearing his admission.

Adrian acknowledged it in person so it signified that it was the truth.

Rue suddenly collapsed back into the sofa.

“Mother, are you okay?” Adrian quickly went to help her up.

Rue shook her head and said, “I’m fine. Just slightly dizzy. Let me ask you, Adrian. Since you’re the legate, why do you hide it from me?”

Adrian made sure Rue could hold herself steady before saying, “I told you guys when I first returned. You and Sam refused to believe me. That’s why I stopped. I was planning on looking for a suitable opportunity to tell you about it again.”

“Does Sam know?” asked Rue.

“I don’t have the courage to tell her,” Adrian admitted.

“Right, don’t tell her.”

Rue knew Samantha all too well.

She looked at Adrian and said, “You can’t tell her, Adrian. If you do, she will file for a divorce. I know her personality very well. She’ll feel that she isn’t worthy of being with you and she won’t want to hold you back.”

Adrian nodded, “I know.”

Rue asked, “Does Ada know?”
