The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds

Chapter 23

Daniel, who was listening in, had mixed feelings.

The war legate, a war god on the battlefield, was a gentleman at home.

It was very rare for such a thing to happen–being tough when it involved the country’s safety, but soft and loving toward his wife.

Daniel spoke again. “Another thing, Ms. Samantha. Since the legate’s identity is top secret and might attract assassins, we’ll be announcing to the public tonight that you were just body doubles to ensure your safety.”

“I’m certain you’ll be able to save your company as long as you put in the effort. This is the reward for taking a risk and pretending to be the legate and his wife,” Daniel replied.
