The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 686

Joanna’s interest was piqued.

She giggled and said, “Adrian, why do you want to turn the monarch into a figurehead? Are you trying to overthrow the government and build the Xander Nation?”

Adrian glared at Joanna

She continued to giggle and said, “If you were to build such a nation and become its monarch, you’ll practice polygamy, right? If you do, remember to count me in. Samantha can be the queen while I play the difficult position of royal consort as best as I can!”

“Hahaha!” Samantha burst into laughter at Joanna’s remark. “Stop talking nonsense, Jojo. The monarch’s last name is Nave, after all. How can a Xander become the monarch? Speaking of which, the current monarch is quite something. If he had even an ounce of intelligence, he wouldn’t have allowed Chase to do so many things right under his nose.”

“That’s right!” Joanna answered in agreement.

Samantha asked Adrian, “Dear, I believe you have it all figured out, right? If you turn Novemton’s monarch into a figurehead, then who will be the monarch of this country? The country will be in chaos without a monarch.” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Adrian looked at Samantha quietly for a while and said, “When the previous monarch of Navia passed away twenty years ago, there was someone else who competed for the position with the current monarch. He failed to take the throne though.”

“Are you referring to Reagan Nave?”

Reagan Nave was the monarch’s younger brother who had lost to the current monarch twenty years ago. During the contest for the position, Chase had been very supportive of the current monarch.

Wyvern Peak’s leader was Achelous at the time, and Achelous took Reagan’s side. Alas, they lost to Chase in the end. Achelous died a few years after the failed contest while Reagan left Novemtom. It was said that he chose to live in seclusion and was not seen in public for over twenty years.

In Adrian’s opinion, Reagan was the most suitable candidate to become the new country head.

There were recordings of this event in history books. As top students of their generation, Joanna and Samantha knew about Reagan too.

Samantha said, “Isn’t Reagan living in seclusion? No one knows where he is. Also, it’s been more than twenty years. Maybe he’s already dead. After all, he’s a little over fifty now.“‘

“You’re right. Perhaps he passed away early. Adrian, I think it’d be better for you to ascend to the throne with Wyvern Peak. When that happens, you can give me a chance to experience the lavish lifestyle of an ancient consort and my name will

go down in history! That would be awesome!” Joanna giggled.

Adrian rolled his eyes at her. “Are you done with your nonsense?”

“L…” Joanna fell silent.

Adrian stood up and said, “It’s late. Go to bed, everyone. I’ll be traveling to Yelloton tomorrow morning”

“Hmm, you go on ahead. I’m wide awake now after that scare so I don’t want to sleep yet. I’ll stay and chat with Joanna,” sakl Samantha

Adrian ignored the two women and returned to his room.

After Adrian left, Samantha glared at Joanna and said, “Don’t say things like that anymore from now on, Jojo.”

Joanna pouted.

The next day, Adrian departed with Mya to Yelloton early in the morning after informing Samantha and before he even had breakfast. He was heading to Yelloton to find out about Eira’s background

It seemed that Bloody Rose’s appearance was a deliberate move to change the current situation. The women from Bloody Rose seemed to be playing a certain role.

Adrian arranged for a troop to protect Samantha and the others before he headed to Yelloton
