Hearing these words, Reiss felt much better.
She had not expected her old schoolmate to be rather good at comforting wom
Reiss said, “I’ll remember what you told me. Don’t worry, I won’t let myself be affected.”
Adrian smiled, “Great. Well then, let’s eat?”
Reiss was
starving. She picked up her cutlery and began eating. Adrian sat opposite and watched her scoll down her food. The meal passed in silence.
Reiss would occasionally wipe away tears as she ate. Adrian poured her a glass of water and asked, “Do you have any plans for the fature?”
Reiss inhaled a deep breath and flipped her silky hair.
“I have no idea, I might return to Northrive but I don’t feel like going back. My parents have already been brainwashed. If I go back now, I’ll probably be heading toward the end of my life,” said Reiss with a bitter smile,
“What do you mean?” Adrian asked.
“My father has never been a kind person. Ever since Seth’s death, my parents have been hell–bent on avenging him. My father is planning on working with the Luposians to destroy the Battle Warrior Department and kill War Legate Draco.
“I tried to stop him and he hit me.”
Reiss believed that Adrian and she were friends, Hence, she wanted to have a heart–to–heart talk with her friend.
Adrian did not express anything upon hearing this and said, “How did you spend your days over the past few years?”
Reiss chuckled and said, “How else could I spend my days? I stayed in school all the time and avoided going home, of course In truth, my life is already destined as well. My marriage has been decided by my parents. I’ll be marrying the man once he’s
back in the country.
Adrian tapped the table softly with his finger. “What I’m trying to say is that if your father really does work with the Luposians, what do you plan to do?
Reiss shook her head. “I have no idea. I can’t stop him and he has always been this way. My brothers were exactly the same as him and there’s nothing that I can do.”
“Don’t go home then,” Adrian suddenly said.
She looked at Adrian in puzzlement,
He explained, “You have two choices. The first option would be to try and stop him but you’ll be implicated in the end if you fall. The second is to stay in Swallowston and not return.”
“But they’re my parents. How can I…”
“You’re a woman now, and a woman should make her own judgments. If you can’t stop him, you can only choose to avoid him There are times that avoidance is an option tuo,” Adrian replied.
“Do you know what the punishment is for colluding with the enemy?”
Reiss shook her head. She knew that it was a huge offense but she had no idea the extent of it.
Adrian explained to laer, “According to the department’s method of handling espionage, the offender and all of their family members will be executed by the special forces without exception. Moreover, these people will be quietly executed
“In other words, the department kills your whole family and takes in any mines within the family. Their rights will be stripped for the rest of their life. When the execution is done, no one will lewow how your whole family died.
This has always been the department’s method of dealing with espionage.”
“Oh, my God!” Reiss inhaled sharply. She had not expected the offense to be so serious.
She said, “What should I do?”
Adrian said, “Leave them. Stay in Swallowston. When the conspiracy is exposed, I’ll figure out a way to protect you. As for the rest, there’s nothing more that you can do.”
“But… But..” Briss was hesitant. “I don’t know where to go now. Where can I go if I stay in Swallowston? Moreover, am I just going to do nothing while my parents and family members do this?”
Adrian kept quiet for a moment. “Return to Northrive tomorrow. Persuade your parents to surrender themselves and expose the Luposians. This way, not only will your father be pardoned, he would have performed meritorious service. The departinent will take the circumstances into consideration.”
“What. What if they won’t do it?” Reiss asked.
“If they refuse, you should return to Swallowsion as soon as possible.”
