The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds novel Chapter 44

Adaline took a deep breath and looked at Adrian as she said, “Y-You’re the war legate!”

This left Adrian slightly surprised, while Adaline felt that everything was like a dream.

“What kind of nonsense is that? How could I possibly be the legate?”

“I have my reasons to think so,” Adaline confidently said.

“Go on…”

“Back at Alyanz Tower, General Daniel said that the legate was at the scene. We knew everyone there, which means they can’t possibly be the legate. So if the legate was indeed at the scene, wouldn’t that leave you as the only possibility?”

Adaline recalled that she was curious about this question at the time. ‘Looks like Adrian really does have a big connection with the legate.’

She then continued, “Also, General Daniel was insistently taking Samantha’s side that day. Why would he possibly help Bailar if you’re not the legate?

“Do you still remember what you said before?”

Adaline glared at Adrian, who pondered for a moment. He had no idea how to answer her.

In truth, Adrian had a change of plans and did not wish to reveal his identity so early for both Adaline's and Samantha’s sakes. This was especially true for Adaline because he did not want her to rely on him too much.

Due to his silence, Adaline said, “After we left the tower and Samantha asked where you’ve been all those years, you even confessed that you’re actually the legate. I honestly thought you were lying at the time. But after everything that happened at Swallow Central and at the hotel…

“Just tell me the truth, Adrian. You’re the legate, aren’t you?”

Adaline stared at Adrian as her eyes welled up with tears.

Adrian took a deep breath and reached out to hold Adaline’s face. “Father died while you were really young and I’ve abandoned you all for the past seven years.
