Chapter 161
The Blithe King unwrapped his arms and walked toward James.
“This is a military region. You shouldn’t come here so often. Scrap that. You shouldn’t come here at all.” He was implying that he did not want to see James, as James often brought trouble along. The Blithe King then got onto a military vehicle and left, leaving behind an astonished Xara. It took Xara some time to process the situation. When the realization hit, she kept gasping for air. She hurriedly made her way to James and snatched her phone from him.
“Let me see. Let me see.”
She opened the album and saw the photo.
In it, the Blithe King had his hands around her shoulders. He wore a compassionate look, almost looking like a loving father,
“Ah….” Xara cried.
She bawled her eyes out.
After all these years, her wish had finally come true.
There stood the Blithe King, commander of the Western border and one of the Five Commanders.
She crouched down and cried.
They were tears of joy.
James frowned. It was just a photograph. Did she have to be so dramatic? “Alright, now, we’re in a military region. We better leave, or someone might make us.” Upon hearing this, Xara wiped the tears off the corners of her eyes and got into the car. James then drove off. On the way home. Looking at her photo with the Blithe king, seeing how he had his hands around her shoulders, and watching the compassionate look on his face, Xara almost burst into tears again. After some time, she turned and faced James. “James, thank you. I truly believe you’re the Black Dragon now.” Only someone with a comparable rank to the Blithe King could make this happen.
“Tsk, Black Dragon? You have a wild imagination.” James pouted.
Xara asked, “Weren’t you the one who said you were the real deal? Besides, if you aren’t the Black Dragon, why did the Blithe king welcome us upon our arrival? And why would he agree to take a picture with me?”
James replied, “I’ve told you we were just trying our luck. Just because the Blithe King agreed to take a photo with you, I’m suddenly the Black Dragon? He was just being nice. What does that have to do with me?
“That’s true.”
