Chapter 10
It was Alexander’s insignia, and this represented his leadership and command over the Four Dukes of War, the Seven War Kings, and 108 Generals under his
wing. Alexander was in control of a mighty army!
It also symbolized the unparalleled glory of the entire Wyverna, indicating the Lord of War’s extraordinary achievements in building the nation. Seeing this insignia was akin to seeing the man himself.
This insignia was indeed unparalleled in the entire world! With trembling hands, Amber covered her mouth and silently sobbed. Alexander actually proposed to her!
This was beyond her wildest dreams, or perhaps it was precisely what she had fantasized about countless times, yearning for it over five long years!
She had endured too much injustice and suffered through too much hardship in the past five years. That day, she fearlessly rescued the young man from a car accident. That night, she willingly shared a drunken, passionate night with him.
Amber lost her gentle, melodic voice and position as the Chesire family heiress over these five years. Moreover, her parents were also exiled from the Chesire family as well.
In these five years, she gave birth to Olivia, but circumstances often separated them. Fortunately, Olivia was a girl. Otherwise, Zoe might have tried to take away even her beloved child!
Today, her man returned at long last, saving their daughter and rescuing her from Elliot. He even divorced Zoe and made this grand gesture, proposing to her!
Even if it was all just an act, even if Alexander had hired a film crew or rented this grand entourage, or if it was all an illusion, what did it matter?
As long as he had this intention, it was more than enough.
“Marry him! Marry him!”
Applause thundered around them, and enthusiastic onlookers clapped and cheered with delight. “Marry him! Marry him!”

Maxine and Alexander’s guards stood behind him, all placing their right hands over their hearts, shouting in unison, “Marry him! Marry him!”
Marry him...
Amber bit her lip and held back the teary emotions threatening to escape. Soon, her trembling fingers accepted Alexander’s insignia.
It might not compare to a wedding ring, but what did it matter? He was her man and Olivia's father, and that was more than enough.
Alexander laughed heartily, cradling Olivia with his left arm and Amber's waist with his right. His face radiated triumph. His woman and his daughter were finally safe in his embrace!
All the past hardships that they endured were finally over. He would lead them to the pinnacle in the years ahead, overlooking the world’s beauty. They were his beloved, and they deserved nothing less.
“Congratulations, Your Lordship!”
Maxine and the guards maintained their half-kneeling stance, pounding their chests with clenched fists, their shouts echoing in the air. “Congratulations!”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
The resounding cheers filled the streets and rang through the entire vicinity.
“Damn it! Worthless man...” Not far away, Zoe clenched her fists, and her nails nearly dug into her flesh.
She was humiliated and livid!
Even if the grand entourage was rented and the actors were part of a paid
production, the sheer spectacle of this grand proposal was enough to astonish
anyone.
Zoe cursed at Alexander, that worthless man, and the mute Amber. What gave them the right to create such a grand spectacle? Moreover, why did all these passersby applaud and cheer for them, even giving the couple their blessing?
They did not deserve any of that!
“Zoe, let's go!” Herbert was furious and pulled Zoe back toward the Dorvall family's convoy. He ordered the driver to drive away as he glared fiercely at Alexander and the others through the rearview mirror.
Herbert thought, ‘Did Alexander really feel the grand public proposal was glamorous? Just wait! It won't be long before you realize what true splendor is. We'll settle our score in due time!’

With that, Herbert and Zoe left. The grand proposal event on the street had also concluded. The passersby, vehicles, and the entire street emptied gradually amid the cheering and applause.
Holding Olivia, along with Amber, Alexander got into their exclusive vehicle.
“Your Lordship!” Maxine, dressed in crimson military attire, was their driver. She looked highly respectful when asked, “Is it time to head to the hotel now?”
Alexander shook his head slowly.
Earlier, Olivia mentioned that her grandparents lived in Belmont Hills. They were his in-laws, and he needed to visit them since he had returned in all his glory,
“Head to Belmont Hills.” Alexander waved his hand.
The super-luxury convoy swiftly left the city center toward Belmont Hills, located on the border between the city and the countryside.
