Chapter 2347
That night, Luna barely slept. She tossed and turned, restless and sleepless. It had been a long time since she last had insomnia.
The last time was many years ago when she learned that the Lloyd family had met with disaster. The Lloyd family Dragon Prince’s whereabouts were unknown, his fate uncertain. Back then, she had not slept the entire night and had run through the streets of Chetvine searching everywhere.
In the end, she found nothing.
Even by dawn, Luna still had no desire to sleep whatsoever. So, she simply got up and started a new day.
Her aide Leslie had been waiting outside her quarters.
“General, the things you requested are ready.”
Luna had always lived in the military dormitory in Chetvine, maintaining a very simple lifestyle. “Good, give them to me. You’re dismissed for now.”
Taking the items, Luna gathered her things and prepared to leave. Leslie hesitated. “General, are you going to the Lloyd family estate to visit Andrew?”
Luna nodded, not denying it.
Leslie smiled. “General, I don’t think it’s quite appropriate for you to go dressed like that.”
Luna, who had already taken several steps, stopped and turned around. “Not appropriate? Do you think I look ugly right now?”
Leslie quickly waved her hands. “N–No way! I wouldn’t dare think that! What I mean is wearing your military uniform to visit someone is a bit too formal. You’re not meeting in an official setting that requires formal attire.
“Your beauty is unparalleled in the world… At least in Chetvine, you’re no less stunning than those young ladies from prestigious families. Why not change into something more casual? A dress would be lovely and would suit your figure perfectly.”
Luna was somewhat surprised. “Change into a dress? Are you sure?”
After joining the military, she had lived almost entirely on base. Although her family was not lacking in money and had strong connections, her military life had always been simple. Over time, she had developed the habit of wearing her uniform everywhere.
It was simple and commanding.
Leslie covered her mouth and giggled. “I’m 100% sure. When you wear your uniform, you’re a heroic warrior woman. But if you took off your uniform and put on a red dress, you’d absolutely be a goddess. I can guarantee that any man would be captivated.”
For once, Luna’s cheeks flushed, and she smiled. “I guess it wouldn’t be impossible. But I don’t own any dresses here in Chetvine.”
Leslie checked the time and smiled. “What’s so difficult about that? Come on, let’s go buy one. Or better yet, if you so much as hint at it, General Harding and his people will probably send you a whole collection right away.”
Luna shook her head. “I don’t need people delivering me things. Fine, we’ll do it your way. We’ll go buy a dress. But nothing too short… I’d feel uncomfortable, and it would look improper.”
Leslie chuckled mischievously. “The shorter, the more tempting, General. I’m kidding, I’m kidding. We’ll go with whatever suits your taste.”
So they went out, and Luna picked up a long, elegant dress, pairing it with a beige Louis Vuitton trench coat. She looked refined and urban, completely different from her usual image.
Only then did she grab a large stack of gifts and head for the Lloyd family estate. She hesitated for a long while outside the gate before finally stepping in.
To her surprise, the vast estate did not even have a guard at the entrance. The gates were wide open, as if anyone could walk in at any time of the day. That did not seem like the style of one of Chetvine’s top royal houses at all.
Inside, the estate was filled with twisting paths. People rushed about with their heads down, carrying stacks of documents in their hands.
Luna had no idea where Andrew lived. She wanted to stop someone and ask, but her shyness held her back. She might have been a young major general, but here, on the grounds of Chetvine’s most famous family, even she felt out of place.
