Chapter 46
Daphne lett home at 9:00 am, but by 10:30am, she was still waiting with the driver for help by the roadside.
“Sir, whwilon’t you stay here and wait while 1 grabs another ride? I’m in a rush, and I won’t ask for a refund on the fare,” she sand.
The drives, pleased with the deal, grinned and offered to drop her off. Before she left, he advised her to take the subway, as it would be quicker, especially since it was hand to hail arab in the area.
It turned out he was right. Daphine couldn’t hail a single cab, so she had no choice but to follow the navigation system to the nearest subway.
She’d ridden the subway before, and the Beastkin system was pretty similar to the human one. After a quick look at the route, she figured it out and got off at the station near Silvervale Hospital.
Lester casually got dressed early in the moming and came to meet Emily. Since she was accepted into o the Westvale Military Academy, she had been staying in the
dormitory,
His arrival immediately caught the attention of the students,
Lester was a well–known figure, not just because of his powerful family but also because he was one of the academy’s top students.
He was the youngest in the academy’s history to be recruited by the United Federation, which earned him widespread admiration
Despite holding the rank of colonel for many years without promotion, many believed he wasn’t driven by fame or wealth. Instead, he was seen as a dedicated official commined to serving the Beastkins.
When he heard such compliments, Lester would walk past the students with a neutral expression, which only made them believe the rumors were true. He’d planned to wait outside the academy. But word of his visit spread fast enough to catch the attention of the academy’s superintendent, Quentin Everhart Quentin should’ve retired long ago, but the military academy had produced too many exceptional talents under his leadership. The Emperor had personally requested his return as the superintendent.
Lester was inside the superintendent’s office, and he said, “Mr. Everhart, It’s been so long. You still look as strong and handsome as you did back in the day. Quentin chocded “Olay, Enough of your flattery. I’m getting older now and not quite as handsome as I used to be.
“By the way, I heard about your situation. Your father mentioned it to me just yesterday. Ms. Harper would be a perfect match for you. She’s the top student in her class and acing all her subjects. And with both your families bring high–ranking military officials, it’s a good match.”
Lester simply smiled. “As long as my family is happy, that’s all that matters.”
Quentin sighed. “It sounds like you’re not too fond of her. But as the chosen successor to the Waltzan family, you really should follow the family’s wishes. Otherwise, how do you expect to gain the support of your family when you take over?”
**Thank you for the advice, Mr. Everland. I understand, “Lester replied.
Just tharti, there was a knock on the door.
At Quentin’s invitation, Emily stepped in She was wearing a luice–length beige skirt.
“Everhart, Fleard Colonel Lester was here, so I rushed over to see him. I hope I’m not interrupting,”
“Not at all. You’re both outstanding talents of Hildi. I won’t get in your way. Go ahead qul do what you need to do,” Quentin said as he ushered them out.
