The Return of the War Legate



After that, Nyssa held Terry's hand and said, "Come on. Let's go to your room. I'd like to have a look at it!"

Terry nodded, and the siblings headed for the dormitories. When they arrived there, they spoke for quite a while, with Nyssa giving him a lot of life lessons.

After sitting for a while, Nyssa noticed that her time with Terry was almost up, so she took out a card and handed it to him.

"Here's some money I've been saving over the years at Bloody Rose. I want you to take it. The passcode is your birthday. I have to head back to Swallowston with the legate soon."

"But we only just met. I thought we could have a meal together..." Terry said, reluctant to see his sister leave.

However, Nyssa shook her head and said, "You've grown so much and have gotten used to living without me. You should have your own dreams now.

"I'm now working at Wyvern Peak. Plus I would be dead if not for the legate, which is why I've got to go back. I'll leave you my contact so that we can always stay in touch.

"Remember this... You're a man, so you need to learn how to be strong and brave. You should also learn when you've got to let things go."

Terry nodded his head and wiped his tears. "I get it."

Nyssa smiled and stroked his head. "All right, stop crying, silly boy. It's not as if this is our last time together. Here's my number. I want you to buy yourself a cell phone later and send me yours. I'll always be around if you need to talk."

Terry nodded once more, and Nyssa reluctantly left her little brother.

***

Adrian was waiting outside the school when Nyssa came out. After she got into the car, she chuckled and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, sir."

Adrian said nothing and drove off.

Curious, Nyssa asked, "By the way, why did you ask my brother to join ACMA? Is there a specific reason for this?

"Take a guess," Adrian casually said.

Nyssa pursed her lips and pondered for a while, but she could not figure it out.

"I don't know."

Adrian smiled and shook his head. "His name's in the book."

"What?!"

Nyssa became dumbfounded at that moment.

"The book of prophecies? The one Bloody Rose has been trying to get their hands on?'

"Are you saying that my brother's name is in the book of prophecies?"

"That's right. Plus, it's not just your brother's name. Ivy, Eira, the other women, and even your name is in the book. It states that Terry will become a crucial person in Wyvern Peak in the future. He's going to assist the new legate to build Purgatorium."

"Has the prophecy come true?"

"The correct way to say it would be that I've made it come true."

Nyssa pondered for a while and asked, "Has anyone else read the book, sir? I think you shouldn't let them see it, or it will definitely be chaotic."

"I'm not sure about the others, but I know for a fact I'm the only one in Wyvern Peak who has read it."
