Chapter 2
“What? The war legate is coming?” Everyone’s eyes grew wide upon hearing the news.
“Wilfred, who is this war legate? Was he the one…” Leonard was in awe.
There was only one person who held that title in all of Navia—the leader of the Blood Corps. There was no other like him.
The entire city of Swallowston had to accommodate the man’s every move today.
“Who else? Of course, it’s the Bellum Legate who had a ten thousand soldier-strong blockade today.”
“Heavens, he’s coming to our home?”
“Grandfather is so famous that even the legate is coming to see him?”
The legate was well-known among the citizens, but few had ever seen him.
“The gods are smiling upon our family.” Harold raised his hands. “Ever since Henry’s death, our family has been blessed with wave after wave of prosperity. Even the legate is coming to celebrate my birthday!”
Everyone present was excited. What had they done to deserve attention from the legate?
The Xanders were overjoyed.

Leonard chimed in, “Cecelia is right. The legate is coming, and we have to welcome him properly. Rue, please take your daughter and leave at once. Don’t bring shame upon us. If the legate gets angry, our family might not survive. This isn’t a joke.”
