At the same time, Juno was sitting on her bed downstairs, looking at herptop s wasing from the

Juno was the one who set the cameras up in that ce. She had seen Adrian heading upstairs and
could not fall asleep, so she turned on the live feed in the hopes of finding out what her brother was up
to.
She was dumbfounded when she overheard Adrian’s conversation with Rue.
“I’m going to be the next legate of Wyvern Peak?!!
“No!”
Rue was silent for a moment before rejecting Adrian’s statement.
“I won’t let you take Juno down the path you’ve taken. Do you have any idea how much I feared for
your life ever since I found out you’re the legate? I’ve been so afraid that my son would leave me
someday. Do you even know how that feels?!”
Faced with Rue’s question, Adrian replied, “I understand, but sometimes your thoughts can’t dictate
what we should and shouldn’t do. We’re all grown-ups now, we should choose our own path.
“Juno is an exceptional youngdy who has outstanding capabilities in all aspects. If she undergoes
special training at ACMA, Azure Creek’s military academy, I’m sure she’ll be capable of bing
the next legate of Wyvern Peak.”
Rue refuted, “You’re going to let a little girl do all that? Can you do that to Juno’s real mother in good
conscience, Adrian? I’m sure she wouldn’t agree to this if she knew what you had nned for her.”
“I wouldn’t be so sure about that,” Adrian continued, “Juno’s father was a brave soldier at Wyvern
Peak, and Juno has been wanting to follow in his footsteps. I believe she has the makings of bing
an outstanding leader.”
Rue pointed downstairs. “Do yo
you even hear yourself? Did you ever stop to think in her shoes? Juno’s just a little girl. Killing should
be a man’s jub. What she should be focusing on is getting into a decent university and finding herself a
decent man to get married to. That’s the life she should be after.”

“But she has a chance at bing something different.”
“Juno doesn’t want to be different. There aren’t many women with glorious ambitions. I won’t allow you
to take her to that military school no matter what you say.
“You’d better drop this idea of yours. I’m her legal guardian, so I have the right to decide things for her,”
Rue angrily said.
Adrian and Rue continued their argument past midnight, while Juno’s face was drenched in tears a
long time ago. At that moment, Sarnaniha knocked on her room door and asked, “Juno? Are you
asleep?”
“No, I’m not. The door’s not locked. Come in,” Juno said as she wiped away her tears.
Hearing this, Samantha opened the door and entered Juno’s room with a te of fruits in hand. When
she saw that Juno was watching a live feed from the observatory, she smiled and asked, “Are you
crying, silly girl?”
Juno nodded. “Big Brother and Mother are arguing because of me.”
Still smiling, Samantha asked, “Then tell me, what do you think about this matter? It’ll be tough living at
ACMA don’t you think?
“I don’t know what to think,” Juno replied. She then grabbed Samantha’s hand and asked, “Do you
think I really do have a chance at bing the next legate of Wyvern Peak?”
“I’m confident in Adrian’s abilities to see the potential in people. Plus, don’t you know how capable you
are? I think the most important thing for us humans is to choose the right path to take in life.”
Juno fell silent, while Samantha smiled as she continued, “You’re worried Mother won’t let you go,
aren’t you? t think you could give it a shot if that’s what you want to do. Plus, she isn’t the unreasonable
type.
“All you have to do now is tell me… Do you want to give it a shot? Do you want your future to be filled
with hope?”
Juno replied, “I want to go. I want to walk the path my father and Big Brother tonk in the past. I want to
help them fulfill what they weren’t able to achieve. I’m not scared of having to go through hardships ar
suttering!
“Then, go.” Samantha patted Juno’s shoulder.
After that, Juno got up and rushed out of her room-to the observatory in the sky garden.
