Chapter 462
Cassian stopped in his tracks when the five elders walked toward him. He had planned to visit them after this victory because GPC would try to arrest him. However, their presence at the border was a surprise.They rarely appeared in public unless it was related to Valoric. Right now, Cassian was not announcing to the world that he was the last remaining descendant of that legendary family. In other words, the elders actually had no reason to be here."Are you alright, son?" Wendell reached out his hand as he stood in front of Cassian.That simple gesture brought Cassian back to the moment he survived the destruction of his family. Back then, Wendell had asked him the same question while carrying him away. He cried for weeks after losing his parents at such a young age.The elders knew little about caring for a child, so they would only feed Cassian when he cried. His lips twitched, holding back a laugh as he remembered how Elowen and Clarissa had tried to be substitute mothers for him
Chapter 461
The chosen soldiers waited at the border shore, standing tall as they looked straight at the sea. The sun had already set, and the lights that had been installed only illuminated a small area. The border was extremely dark, surrounded by mountains on every side.The smell of blood still lingered in the air, a sign that the infiltration attempt by the Narman troops had taken place not long ago. All of them had been defeated by the soldiers of Weltaria when they tried to force their way in. A large-scale war was avoided thanks to that duel.In the previous war, Arlo had refused the challenge of a duel because he held complete control over his country. But this time, it was different, as even his own people had grown tired of being used by him. As a result, the ongoing conflict was prevented and ended in less than three days."Everyone, get ready!" Ruth shouted when Weltaria's fleets were seen approaching the border.All the soldiers immediately stood at attention and saluted in unison.
Chapter 460
The people of Weltaria ran out of the safe zones, jumping in joy and hugging each other. They were speechless as they watched Cassian win. Their eyes stayed glued to the screen, stunned by the intensity of the fight between the two.It took a while before they were truly sure that Cassian had won. Grand General Ruth immediately broadcast the news to all media outlets in the country to assure everyone that the situation was safe.Once Cassian's victory was confirmed, everyone rushed out to make sure they were really safe. Soldiers remained on guard at every post but knew they would not need to use their weapons."The Commander defeated Emperor Arlo in a fair fight! No one will doubt his victory!" shouted a woman, throwing flowers she had picked from the garden toward the crowd."So we're safe now?" a little boy looked up hesitantly at his father. "I read in the news that Narman would not attack again because of the peace agreement. But they still did!"Ruth, who happened to be mingling

Cassian lowered his head, gently touching the flower. Its petals glowed even brighter as the sky darkened, the sun setting behind the ocean. Of course, he had heard of Virella Noctis since it became the symbol of the Narman Empire.This flower only grew in Narman's territory, so the people guarded it closely. Even Arlo did not give Virella Noctis to Ronin when he surrendered during the peace treaty, indirectly showing his distrust. However, Ronin ignored that detail because he wanted to eliminate Cassian's military influence quickly."Thank you very much for your trust. I don't feel worthy to receive this since I've committed crimes against Narman's civilians. But I'll accept it because I respect your sincerity," Cassian said, raising his head to look up at the cliff.Jimena replied in a whisper, "There are some who can't accept Arlo's death. But many are glad because we feel we've regained our right to live. Don't worry about the future of my country. If anyone dares to rebel, I will
Chapter 458
The soldiers stomped their feet on the ground before saluting Cassian in unison. This was not the end of their struggle because they knew Arlo's allies still threatened Weltaria. That was why Cassian's orders felt heavy, especially now that they understood this peace would not last long.Cassian noticed the uneasiness in the soldiers' eyes, even though they tried their best to hide it. He smiled while raising his hand to dismiss the formation."Don't worry. I won't make you suffer any more than this," he said in a mysterious tone that made everyone frown in curiosity.The only way to avoid a war threat from Arlo's allies was by requesting to join the Legacy of Warriors. Cassian believed his enemies would rather choose a private duel than a full war, which would cost a lot of time and resources. If the Red Fangs truly believed that war was the answer, they would have helped Narman defeat Weltaria from the start.The fact that Red Fangs did not get involved in the war showed they prefer
Chapter 457
The soldiers who had once been in the President's Faction nodded at Waylon's statement, showing that they shared his thoughts. They believed their situation would be better with only one person leading both the military and the country.Secretly, they worried about the possibility of a civil war because Cassian and Ronin seemed to be at odds. They felt safer if just one of them held absolute power. When they found out Cassian had left the military, they thought Ronin was more worthy of being the sole leader because he had not left like that."I used to support you and was disappointed when you left the military. I should have realized that your departure would create internal conflict. But I was too angry to think clearly," Norman admitted his mistake without hesitation.He continued with an embarrassed cough, "I also underestimated you. There was a rumor that you were disabled and weak, but today you proved that wrong. Everyone who watched your fight must be thinking the same!""I do
