My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30: The One Who Brought History

As I got into the carriage, that was the only time got to breathe properly while clutching the report tightly against my chest as if my life was dependent on it. I was trying to calm my heart down as well as my body that was set on fire because of him.

That commander… I swear to the Moon Goddess.

I secretly gnashed my teeth, couldn’t believe that I let him tease me over and over. Then, he would dismiss me and leave me wanting more.

I really hated the part he had been outsmarting me with something like this. He always caught me off guard, and all I could do was to be dumbfounded at his actions.

One day, I would get revenge on him for continuing to do this to me. He had been so comfortable for teasing me a lot, and I would have to be was to be flustered all the time.

“A student can learn…” I muttered, pouting as I fixed my gaze on the road, feeling my heart finally settle.

Since my destination was in the nearby town where the Golden Eclipse Pack was located, the trip took thirty minutes. The camp was located on the outskirts of the town, which took another fifteen minutes.

Upon arriving, one of the guarding soldiers approached and asked about my intention.

“I am here to deliver some reports to Commander Rachelle. Commander Lucretius sent me here,” I replied in a formal tone, trying to contain my excitement.

A guard escorted me inside the establishment. The corridors were filled with the paintings of the past Alpha Kings, except the current Alpha King. Until now, it hadn’t been revealed to the public what he looked like.

Only those high–ranking officials could be able to see Alpha King Claudian Alexander IV, son of our Grand Alpha King Claudian Alexander III.

When we came to a halt in front of a door, the guard knocked for me, and the one who had opened the door was Commander Rachelle’s personal assistant named Jack. The guard explained what I came here for before he finally laid his eyes on me and bowed his head.

“Come in.” Jack gestured with his hand inside.

Nodding, I slowly exhaled as I took a step inside Commander Rachelle’s study room.

This was it… I would be going to see her in person! The dream I had been wanting to come true!

My eyes locked onto the desk, where a woman had her head pressed down, her petite yet lean frame slumped, and her wavy hair tied back in a ponytail as she groaned and let out a loud sigh.

“Jack…” Commander Rachelle groaned one more time, waving a document, still her face on

the desk. “I do not want to do this anymore. Finish this work for me.” Then her arm fell on the desk. “I want to go to Auritaurie! I want to fight! want to kill! How long will General Jose going to detain me here?!”

Jack let out a sigh and gave me an apologetic look “Um… Please give me a moment, Ms. Euphyllia.” His brows furrowed as he turned to her. “Commander, we have a guest. Could you at least fix yourself?” he asked, his tone teetering on the edge of exploding from the stress.

Commander Rachelle raised her head, pouting. “Guest,‘ who?” Her lips lazily grinned. “You get me? I cracked a joke!” she exclaimed.

Jack pinched the bridge of his nose. “Commander, please.” He sounded like he was near giving up to his commander.

“I’m serious, Jack. Look at these papers!” She slapped the stack on her desk dramatically, glaring at them as if they were her enemies she wanted to eliminate. “Do they multiply when I’m not looking? They weren’t this high yesterday! I signed twenty already, I swear to the Moon Goddess.” She flopped back into her chair, arms dangling tiringly over the armrests.

“You mean you only signed two…” I heard Jack say something under his breath, sighing in defeat.

I couldn’t help covering my mouth to hide my smile. Now, I could understand the rumors about her not liking paperwork. It was nothing like what I expected.

This was the first female battle commander in history, my idol, yet here she was acting like a child forced to eat vegetables.

“Jack,” Commander Rachelle whined again, tilting her head back until it touched the chair. ” Be a good boy and forge my signature. You’re good at it. No one will ever know.”

“What the hell, Commander Ra-”

“Shh. I’ll close my eyes and pretend it’s me.” She shut her eyes, doing what she said. She even put her forefinger on her lips as if she was hushing him.

Her action caused me to let out a giggle. As expected, she was really funny and cool to meet.

Commander Rachelle peeled her eyes open, and i looked like she finally noticed my presence for the first time. She blinked and leaned forward elbows on the desk, chin propped in her hands like a mischievous child caught sneaking sweets.

“Oh? Who’s this pretty face?”

Jack cleared his throat, gesturing his hand toward me. “This is Ms. Euphyllia. She’s here to deliver Commander Lucretius‘ report. She’s… his assistant.”

That made her eyes widen as she straightened her posture, brows furrowing together as she repeated slowly, “Old man Lucretius‘ assistant?” she asked in disbelief, her lips stretched out in a grin. “Since when did he have an assistant? Ihought Lieutenant Commander Leofrick was

his assistant?”

I fluttered my eyelids at what she had just said to Lucretius. Did… she really call him an old man?

She leaned across the desk, her eyes sparkling as if the piece of news could be used to something against Lucretius. “Hold on, hold on. Don’t tell me he finally found someone willing to put up with his grumpy face and his endless strategies?” She gasped, laughing as she slapped her desk again. “Heavens above, it’s true, isn’t it? Look at you. You’re blushing! Jack, do you see this one? That gramps has one!”

Jack groaned, his palm brushing over his face. “Commander, please behave.‘

I was rendered speechless at how informally she called Lucretius. It wasn’t bothering me at all, but it just surprised me.

Was that the reason why Lucretius called her a stubborn commander? Was it because of this?

“Um… Commander Rachelle,” I called, curiosity filling my whole being. “Did… you and Commander Lucretius have some different views against each other?” I couldn’t help but ask.

My question made her grin widen. “Well, I despise that old man because he is a womanizer.” She winked, but she immediately frowned when she somehow remembered something. “But he even called me a brat before when I was promoted to be a commander.” She rolled her eyes. “Besides, he gets all stiff whenever I call him ‘old man.‘ Makes it worth it.” She shrugged, smirking.

Her words almost cracked me up. Lucretius, a womanizer? Everyone knew about it. That was how he was infamous when it came to it.

And to think that she had the nerve to call Lucretius old man was really something. Commander Rachelle and I were the same age, and hearing it from her that someone like her would dare to call Lucretius that was… truly interesting.

I pressed my lips together, but the smile still broke free. She was exactly as I had imagined her. She was fearless, unapologetic, and entirely her own person.

She was really cool.

“I have a feeling that Commander Lucretius wouldn’t like hearing that when I tell him later,” I said before finally stating what I came here for.

I bestowed it on her as her smirk couldn’t erase from her lips. “Well, do tell him. I heard he is hosting his birthday party later, so please tell him to get his wheelchair as soon as possible,” she said while reading the report.

Jack gasped and turned to me. “S–She didn’t mean that.” His panicked expression was etched on his face. “She means to say she is happy for him.”

“I did not say that,” Commander Rachelle stated in a sing–song tone. “I really mean it.” She

even wriggled her eyebrows.

I caught Jack rolling his eyes; the distress was showing on him. And it was truly entertaining that I let out a chuckle.

When she had finished reading, she nodded in approval and bestowed it on Jack before she turned to me. “Tell that old man to get good at his strategies. It seems lacking.” My jaw dropped at her words. She chortled at my reaction. “Kidding aside, thank him for me. His strategies are always impressive.”

I clasped my hands together as my expression softened at her words. I knew well that she was only kidding that she disliked Lucretius‘ strategies, but all in all, they were unpredictable and could make everyone’s jaw drop.

“Your wish is my command, commander.” I placed my hand on my chest, bowing my head before her.

But deep inside, I was excited that I got to converse with her. I couldn’t believe it.

Cerys would definitely be envious about it when she learned that I had finally met the all- mighty Commander Rachelle.

I was about to take my leave, but something told me to tell her what I wanted to say to her, especially as she was the first woman in history who broke centuries of tradition by proving that strength and strategy knew no gender.

“C–Commander Rachelle,” I called, feeling a huge lump in my throat when she and Jack turned their attention on me.

“Hmm?” She slightly tilted her head, humming in response.
