Chapter 28
He was a legend. The man was indomitably strong! He was what Rachel was after. “Hsss!” Willow’s eyes widened, and her face was full of shock.
She could imagine how amazing the man was from what Rachel said.
“Now that you mention it, I’m a little curious…”
Willow muttered to herself, her heart longing for the army as well.
However, Fion would never let her join the army. She could only do whatever the Quinn family arranged for her.
“I would have had a chance to meet him… “But…” Rachel sighed and stopped at the mention of it. “But what?” Willow immediately asked. “But God envies talent!”
Rachel said through clenched teeth, ” Something happened to him. He has left the army and is nowhere to be found.
“A lot of people miss him, but we don’t know where he is.
“He has been gone for two years.”
Rachel’s voice was tinged with deep loss and sadness at the mention of it. Willow froze when she heard
this. ‘Gone for two years?’ ‘Two years…’
She suddenly remembered that Sean had retired from the army two years ago.
‘ Sean doesn’t have anything to do with this commander, does he?’
Willow felt a pang in her heart. If Sean was related to someone like that, how scary would his identity be?
However, if he had something to do with a man like that, how did he end up a crippled vegetable?
Willow shook her head slightly, amused a t her idea.
“Alright, maybe he just went out on a mission and would be back soon.”
Willow dismissed her ideas and gently comforted Rachel. “Yeah! We believe he’ll come back. “We’re all waiting for him. “But I should be going home soon.” Rachel nodded and whispered. “Really? You’re coming back?” Willow was glad at that. After all, they had not seen each other in years.
“Yes! Without Commander, the border keeps losing in battles and is in a state of decline.
“The new commander is headstrong and does not take advice. All he does is send the soldiers to their demise!
“I can’t take it anymore! I can die for my country, but I don’t want to die in vain because of stupid commands.
“And I think the place has lost its meaning after Commander’s gone.
