Chapter 48 - It's Really Her

While the couple spent a happy morning in the countryside villa, the Headquarters of the Silveren Army was very buzzy.

A temporary and newly formed team gathered at one of the halls. Snipers, military dog handlers and soldiers from the elite special forces; all of them will carry on the new mission under the leadership of Colonel Maverick, the legend of the Silveren Army.

General Logan Arista, Lt. Gen. Haric Geraci, Lt. Gen. Gavin Ordin and a few high ranking officers were also in the hall to send off the new team while encouraging them.

The new team consists of 10 members including the Commander and Lt. Morris Flavian. Even after a close glance, a single hint of fear was not shown in the soldiers face or actions. In fact, they cannot wait to wipe out the so-called victim organizations.

What happened at the Peace Day was not a trivial matter that can be easily forgotten. Even though only one person was injured, it's the incident which threatened the safety of their country.

What if they failed to know about their plans beforehand? More than a thousand souls will face their demise in the PEACE DAY!

Of course, they also have one reason which made the soldiers eager to finish their mission. They cannot wait to avenge their fellow soldier.

Yelena was not an ordinary soldier. Just like Colonel Maverick who was considered a legend, she was the legend of the female Officers. Not to mention that she already surpassed almost all the men of her batch in terms of ranks and achievements. Her bloodline also comes as a huge bonus.

Although the hierarchy in the army was defined by ranks, it's hard to completely ignore the fact that she was the granddaughter of the General and the daughter of the Major General who might follow his father's footsteps and become the Army Chief one day. It was a well-known fact that the Major General was the best among his generation.

After all, soldiers were humans too. Humans with greed and ambitions. Who wouldn't want to please the General and the reputable Major General?

The high ranking officers gave detailed instructions to the team and after an hour, the team moved to a new base which was not far from the base of their targets. From that base, they will survey the area, come up with a plan and build up their comradeship.

Just like that, the new operation 'Operation Peace Day' was secretly launched by the General of the Silveren Army. The name denotes the incident of the Peace Day which will mark the end of the long term rebellious acts of the victim organization who were now declared as terrorists.

Three days passed by quietly and Yelena was very glad that the Prince didn't bring up cooking during those days. Besides, she always comes with another plan to distract him whenever it's time for cooking. That's why the cook got to do her work for the time being much to the Captain's joy.

It's an evening of the fourth day when Felix became more than stubborn to prepare the dinner himself. Even when Yelena suggested many things to do together in the villa and farm, he insisted to cook and said, "It's a great day for cooking."

The Captain was not pleased with his decision. To be precise, it freaked her out when she imagined herself to eat the horrible dishes again! She could barely act like she loved the dishes back then in the hospital.

Why didn't she tell him the truth at that time?! Didn't he even taste his own dishes? If she knew that cooking would become his new hobby, she would surely tell him how horrible his dishes were!

When she thought about a way to make him changed his mind, an idea popped up in her mind. "Why don't we leave the villa and have dinner in the town today?" She opined and much to her joy, it really caught the Prince's attention.

"Really? Shall we do that?" He grinned from ear to ear but when he realized their location, he was feeling a bit disheartened. "Will there be a good place here?" He asked.

Yelena became very excited when she finally received a positive response. "Of course. If we drive around an hour, we will reach a town and it is quite famous among tourists. They have almost everything there."

"Okay. Let's prepare to go out then. My car arrived the day before yesterday and we can use that." The Prince had totally forgotten about cooking when he received an invitation to have an outdoor date which truly made the woman grateful.

They changed their dress and leave the villa by car.

"Why are you so happy over a single dinner?" Yelena finally asked after hesitating for a while. Since she suggested to dine out, the Prince cannot stop smiling.

Felix repeatedly shifted his gaze from the road to Yelena. "Did you know, Yelena? After that day in Belden, we never have any other good date outdoors. It's either the hospital or the villa."

What he just said never crossed her mind. Maybe because she was happy enough with having him by her side. She didn't care about the location. As long as he was with her, the other things lose their value in her opinion.

For a second, she even blamed herself for not being thoughtful. He was an energetic and playful young man. There would be many things he liked to do with her.

"Why don't we grab some coffee first? We still have plenty of time before dinner." Felix words aroused Yelena and the latter blankly nodded her head.

Felix parked his car and get off with Yelena. He made her hold onto his arms and said, "I don't want you to tire out yourself. It's not good for your health; so rely on me as much as you can." She simply nodded again with a smile.

They entered a coffee shop and ordered an iced coffee for themselves which was prepared in no time. The buzziest place of the town was still 20 minutes drive from the coffee shop; so they decided to waste no time and leave right away.

When they walked out of the coffee shop still clinging arms like before, Yelena instantly stopped her movement as if her legs were rooted to the ground.

"What's wrong?" Felix asked her right away but she didn't respond at all. It was like she didn't hear him at all!

She stood daze but her eyes thoroughly scanned the woman who was just a few steps before her. The woman was also approaching the coffee shop.

A slight smile appeared on Yelena's face when she whispered, "It's really her."
