Dennis spoke gravely, “I’ve seen it too, Lance. Fortunately, the notebook lists the origins of those she–wolves. We can dispatch people to inform their families one by one.”
“Have the teams sent to retrieve remains returned yet?” Lance asked.
“Not yet. The bodies were hidden at the bottom of a well. Some have descended into it, but they can’t retrieve any remains, and there’s more than one body. The decayed corpses are also hindering the search for other remains,” Dennis replied.
Lance said, “Has the forensic specialist arrived? Contact the Forensic Center and get more specialists out there to assist.”
“Already on it,” Dennis said.
“Good. What about the weapons inventory? I need to report to the palace,” Lance continued.
“It’s all been sorted out. Here’s the report,” Dennis said, hastily pulling a folder from the table and handing it to Lance.
Lance opened the folder and found a detailed record: 1,000 crossbows, five ballistae… 800 sets of full armor, three barrels of gunpowder, and over 1,000 other weapons.
The claim that these were for mere manor defense was laughable.
Moreover, the control over armor was always strict–even the wolf pack of Lycan Erasmus’s own brother couldn’t legally possess such metal armor.
Otherwise, it was a violation, with consequences depending on how much was made of it.
While excuses might be found for other weapons, ballistae or metal armor alone were enough for a treason charge.
Lance said to Adelaide, “I’ll head to the palace. This evidence should be more than enough to strip her of her princess title.”
Once the princess title was revoked, she’d be reduced to a commoner, and the interrogation methods could be more severe.
Speaking of interrogation, Madison knew the ins and outs better than anyone.

Adelaide said, “Go on. I’ll review other testimonies and investigate the nobles who’ve had frequent contact with Madison over the years.”
First on her list was Maya from the Blue Abyss Pack. Though not close to Madison during the Blue Ridge days, they’d visited her manor several times.
“Plus, both Germain and Madison were raised by Pandora. This connection means questioning them could unsettle Germain and make him regret returning to the capital,” Adelaide added. “If he’d stayed in Blue Ridge, this scandal might not have reached him.”
Lance nodded and headed to the palace with the two notebooks recorded by Rosa.
Lycan Erasmus scanned the weapons list and erupted in fury. “How dare Madison harbor such treachery and plan rebellion?”
Fabian quickly stepped in. “Lycan Erasmus, please calm yourself!”
Lycan Erasmus, his face dark with anger, turned to Lance. “Interrogate her! By any means necessary, make her confess the mastermind behind this!”
Lance responded, “Lycan Erasmus, she’s still a princess. Royal family members can’t be tortured according to the rules.”
Lycan Erasmus coldly ordered, “Revoke Madison’s princess title and expel her from the royal family.”
Fabian promptly left to arrange it.
Lance continued, “Lycan Erasmus, the other two notebooks detail the she–wolves Madison’s manor has abducted over the years–over 180 in total. More than 100 were brutally killed, with only around 40 still alive.”
“All male infants born were mercilessly slaughtered, while female infants were raised and later integrated into noble families and powerful wolf packs. Unraveling all this will take time,” Lance added.
As Lycan Erasmus pored over the manuals, he felt a chill run down his spine.
A royal plotting treason was bad enough, but committing such atrocities was a smear on the royal family.
He roared, “Inform Mallory to assist the Ministry of Justice in investigating these cases. Whether dead or alive, these she–wolves and their families deserve justice!”
