Chapter: 1136
Dustin chuckled. This kid hadn’t changed one bit.
She was stubborn and unyielding yet fiercely protective of the people around her. Adam was the only exception to that rule.
"Alright, let’s not talk about that anymore. I’ll take you around town since you finally have time to rest." Dustin changed the subject.
He added, "Buy anything you like. Don’t be shy."
"Yay! Thanks, Logan!" Scarlet jumped for joy like a little girl.
Her reaction left her deputy generals dumbfounded. Who would have imagined that the strict and fearless Scarlet had that side to her?
"Kid, I don’t go by Logan anymore. Next time in public, call me Dustin," he reminded her.
"Okay, Dustin," Scarlet adjusted immediately. What she cared about wasn’t his name but the person behind the name.
He used to protect her from the world and helped her through hardships, even if it meant risking his life.
He protected her in the past. Now, it was her turn to protect him.
Dustin, Scarlet, and her two deputy generals left Fallonge estate. They walked around the popular tourist spots in Millsburg, taking photos. They also bought souvenirs.
Afterward, they went to Food Street downtown. They tried all the local food.
They ended their day watching a movie called "Wandering Planet" at the theater. When they came out, it was dark.
"Dustin, where are we going next?" Scarlet was still full of energy. This was the happiest and most relaxed she had been in ten years.
"Madam Scarlet, we’ve been out all day. Why don’t we return home now?" Bridget suggested.
She and Georgia had been on high alert since morning. They were protecting Scarlet from any potential ambush.
As Dragonmarsh’s Goddess of War, Scarlet was highly respected. However, she was also a thorn in the eyes of many other countries.
Every year, she faced countless assassination attempts. It was especially dangerous in crowded places like this.
They had to guard Scarlet against all kinds of threats, including snipers, suicide bombers, and the like.
"It’s still early. Why the rush?" Evidently, Scarlet still hadn’t had enough.
"That’s right! It’s not every day you get some free time. You should enjoy yourself," Georgia chimed in.
She’d never seen Scarlet this happy. Her smile today was worth ten years combined.
In the past, Scarlet was always cold and distant. It was as if she were a divine being, watching over everyone from above.
She was finally a regular person today, enjoying herself happily. This was how life should be in her twenties.
Other women enjoyed their time with their parents and boyfriends. But Scarlet carried a heavy responsibility. She could only fight on the battlefield.
