Halfway out, Isabelle stopped and turned back. "Mikayla, I don't want you getting too involved in Andrew's affairs. You know that there are way too many people in Chetvine who don't want to see him alive! And you have an unlimited future ahead of you.
"Seriously, I never compliment anyone, but Mikayla, you're the exception! I think you deserve a better future, Mikayla! You shouldn't get dragged into conflicts and vendettas over someone from your past. That's just stupid!"
Mikayla's face remained expressionless. "Belle, just go. I've never run away from my problems! As for getting involved or not... I doubt this Chetvine whirlpool can drown me."
Isabelle smirked. "True, you're probably unbeatable now, Mikayla. Then later, I'll watch your expression. If you still care about him, I'll let him go. But if you stay silent, I won't hold back!"
…
Meanwhile, Luna was dressed in a full military uniform and was also in Chetvine. Most of the time, she actually stayed there, which was not unusual since she was a general under the Defense Department stationed at Chetvine's headquarters.
Luna's mentor was the famous General Philip Turman from Holtrien, a man with a rugged face covered in a full beard.
Turman was an ancient surname, and the current Turman family was filled with talented individuals.
Philip was their prime example.
"Luna, head to the airport later," Philip said suddenly as he leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed.
Luna was studying tactical maps with her head down and did not look up. "I'm not going."
Philip smirked. "What, aren't you curious what kind of storm will break out now that the Lloyd royal family's heir is coming back?"
Luna replied coldly, "I'm not interested. I have no history with Lloyds. I don't even know the man who's returning."
Philip chuckled. "No, you do know him. It's Andrew Lloyd. Are you really going to say you're not familiar with that name?"
Luna finally raised her head, her brows furrowed. "Andrew? How could it be him? Isn't the one returning supposed to be an important figure from the Lloyd royal family?"
Philip said casually, "Yeah. He is the most important leader of the Lloyd family's young generation. Andrew is the same guy you met back in Gabo Creek."
Luna let out a cold laugh. "Mr. Turman, that's not funny at all! Andrew may be from the Lloyd royal family, but he is not the leader of their young generation. The only one who dares call himself leader is the Dragon Prince of the Lloyds!"
Philip shrugged. "And what's the problem? The Dragon Prince of the Lloyd family is Andrew. Don't tell me you didn't know that?"
