Chapter 662
“One time when we were drinking, he told me something about Wyvern Peak and Internal Affairs. He said that he predicted who the legate of Wyvem Peak would be, and that War Legate Draco owed his position all to his prophecy.
“He also said that the next legate of Wyvern Peak would be a woman,” Charles confessed.
Mya looked at Adrian and furrowed her brows. “Sir, does this really mean Juno is going to become the next legate?”
Adrian did not reply as the decision ultimately rested with him. Ignoring Mya’s question, he turned to Charles and said, “So, you’re a drinker, huh? I thought I heard you’ve sworn off alcohol?”
Charles replied awkwardly, “Yes, I did, but who could possibly resist having a drink or two sometimes?”
“I understand.” Adrian laughed. “So, did you put on that entire show last night just to prove to the world that I’d submit to you?”
Charles did not dare to speak
Adrian continued, “Looks like you and I both have a penchant for putting on shows, but that’s not an issue here. The issue I have now is whether you were aware that Internal Affairs and Wyvern Peak have been searching for Kayn.”
“Yes, I was,” Charles replied.
“Then why did you still take him in?” Adrian asked.
“He’s an old friend of mine, and I don’t want to do anything to betray my friends. I’m really sorry for my actions last night, sir. However, I’m not sorry for taking in my friend to protect him. Besides, I don’t know what crime he has committed,” Charles explained.
Adrian laughed but did not say much.
“Let me be frank with you, Father Charles. I hate liars, so you now have one chance to rephrase whatever you’ve just said. Remember, this is your only chance.
“Go ahead, speak.”
Adrian took a sip of tea and gestured to Charles
Charles took a deep breath and remained silent for a long time, contemplating what to say
Finally, he said, “I honestly have no idea what sort of crime he has committed, sir. I wouldn’t have taken him in if I had.”
“Are you sure that will be your statement?” Adrian asked. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Charles was just about to say something, but Adrian interrupted him by saying, “I only need an answer to my last question. If you can’t confirm your statement, you should reconsider telling me the truth. Otherwise, you’re free to enjoy some more tea bere.”
“Yes, I’m sure,” Charles replied.
“Excellent!” Adrian then refilled his teacup and said, “Hring Kayn in here, Mya.”
Two minutes after Mya made a gesture, Kayn, who now seemed extremely old, was carried in and placed on the sofa. His face was covered by his beard, making him seem mysterious.
As soon as he sat down, he immediately confronted Adrian by saying, “I’m proficient in astrology and can predict the future, War Lagate Draco. Right now, my knowledge is telling me you’re not going to have a very good future.”
Kayn seemed extremely calm as though he wanted to put on a strong; front.
Hearing this, Adrian played along and smiled, “Tell me, Clayman. What does my future hold?”
Kayn fiddled with his mustache and replied, “It’s a secret that can’t be toll. Now then, why have you brought me here?”
Adrian leaned into the sofa. “To talk about the future.”
