The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds

Chapter 9

Nobody there knew what to do. Alyanz was going to be disbanded!

Daniel got approval from the legate? But where was he? Everyone looked around but could not determine who he was.

Celine broke down and got to her knees. “Please forgive me, Legate! I didn’t take away her company on purpose! I-I’ll give it back!”

She was afraid. She thought that the legate was there to make her acquaintance. But instead, he was there to help Samantha.

“Take her away!” Daniel ignored Celine’s plea and commanded.

As a few men walked over, Celine quickly crawled toward Samantha’s feet and grabbed her. “Samantha, Samantha, I’m sorry! Please help me!”

Celine’s face was covered in tears as she wept. She was utterly out of her wits and was visibly trembling.

Samantha, shocked at Celine’s actions, took a few steps back and fell into someone’s arms. She turned around and realized that it was Adrian.

She blushed.

“Go away!” Adrian boomed as he kicked Celine in her face, “General Summers, take her away!”

“Yes sir.”

The few guards dragged Celine out.

The crowd was so shocked they did not make a sound.

When Rue and Adaline saw this, even though they were afraid of Daniel, they were elated. Celine had been bullying Samantha, so it was cathartic to see that karma had gotten to her.
