Chapter 1054


    James closed his eyes and thought for a while.


    Finally, he answered, "Thea."


    She was the sole reason he stood here today.


    In order to save him, Thea ended up burned and disfigured horribly.


    Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    That made the next ten years of her life a living hell.


    Because of her sacrifice, he had sworn to protect Thea for the rest of his life.


    "Is that so? What about your first love, Quincy? She believed you were alive and waited ten years for


    you.


    "As for Tiara, you’ll have to take responsibility for that too.After all, she’s with your child."


    Hearing this, James froze instantly.He turned around and stared at Maxine as the color drained from


    his face.


    "W-What did you say?"


    Maxineughed teasingly and said, "Tiara’s pregnant."


    "What?!" James eximed in disbelief.


    "She’s pregnant?"


    "Yeah.Remember how I pretended to be you at Tiara’s engagement ceremony and took her away? She


    was overjoyed and told me everything.She nned to have the child by herself, but her family forced


    her to get engaged.She was basically left with no choice but to agree."


    Maxine said with a bright smile, "Congrattions.You''re going to be a father soon! How’ re you feeling?


    Are you excited? Are you thrilled?"


    James was neither excited nor thrilled.His blood ran cold.


    ‘How can this be?’ He asked with a serious expression, "Does Thea know that you sent Tiara to


    Cansington?"


    "S-She doesn’t.I didn’t even dare to tell her.What would we do if she acted impulsively? She’s a


    grandmaster of the third rank and the God-King Pce’s master.Tiara, on the other hand, is just a


    commoner."


    Maxine patted James’ shoulder and said with a smile, "Don''t worry.You can just hide it from Thea and


    buy a vi for Tiara so she can give birth to the child and raise it peacefully"


    "Maxine, I seriously owe you one.If it weren''t for you, Tiara would’ve gotten engaged to someone else,


    and I wouldn’t even know she was pregnant with my child."


    James looked at Maxine gratefully.


    Although he was unsure how to handle the unexpected situation, Maxine did indeed help him.


    "I said it earlier, didn’t I? You don’t need to thank me."


    Maxine pretended to pout and then chuckled.


    With her hands behind her back, she whistled and walked away.


    James got lost in his thoughts for a while and eventually chased after her.


    "I think I should go back to Cansington to check on the situation."


    "You decide.I’ve been expelled from the Cadens, so I’ll follow you wherever you go and do whatever


    you tell me to do."


    Maxine smiled sweetly.She seemed to be in a good mood after leaving the Cadens.


    "Alright.I''ll head back to Cansington first and meet the Kingter."


    Tiara’s pregnancy was not something James had ounted for.It had already been three months.


    How could she hide such an important thing from him? Instead of booking a ne ticket, James


    headed directly to the military region to take an army helicopter to Cansington.


    Gloom showed up when he arrived at the military region’s gate.


    He walked toward James with a smile and said, "James, after countless meetings and much


    deliberation, the parliament has decided to appoint you as themander of the Red me Army and


    agree to also let you keep your position as themander of the ck Dragon Army.You can do


    whatever you want now without worry.However, the consequences are something you''ll have to deal


    with yourself."


    "Alright." James nodded.


    Now that he wasmander of the Red me Army, he had the power to enforce thew across the


    country.


    "Do it as soon as possible." Gloom said with a serious tone, "The appointment of you as the


    commander had been discussed for a very long time because many people were opposed to it.Since


    you''ve got a lot you want to aplish, you shouldn’t drag it out too long and deal with all of them


    quickly, especially Mr.Gabriel."


    "I''ll do it as soon as possible," иσν???вσσк.￠σмJames replied.


    "Are you heading back to Cansington?"


    Gloom looked at James quizzically.


    "Yeah, something unexpected happened."


    Gloom pped him on the back as he reminded James, "Bring the de of Justice with you.If you kill


    without the King’s authorization, you’ll be breaking thew.Since you’re aw enforcer now, you


    shouldn’t knowingly go around breaking thew."
