The mark on the back of her neck was burning. She instinctively controlled her scent, her cedarwood scent as faint as possible.

In front of a king, any unnecessary show of power was an act of rebellion.

Lycan Erasmus’s presence, a mix of white musk and glacier, suddenly swelled. It was an aura unique to the Lycan royal family, and it settled over her like a physical weight.

His irises narrowed to silver slits in the candlelight, his gaze like a hawk’s, locking onto her. “Who do you think is pulling the strings from behind Madison?”

The aura sank down her spine. The tips of Adelaide’s fingers sprouted fine silver–blue wolf hair, but she forced herself to hold back the change.

Lance’s earlier analysis was still in her mind. Lycan Erasmus had been investigating in secret, so his question now had a purpose.

A choked–off howl rumbled in her throat. Her scalp tightened, and the gland on the back of her neck felt numb under the king’s aura.

Seeing she didn’t answer, Lycan Erasmus’s presence eased slightly, but it was still sharp. He added, “Maybe I should ask it this way–Lance mentioned Germain. Do you agree with him?”

When Adelaide looked up, all doubt was gone from her eyes. Her silver–blue vertical pupils were clear. “Yes.”

The moment the words left her mouth, she discreetly released a hint of her Alpha aura.

“So based on what the Ministry of Justice and the Capital Guard have found so far, do you have any evidence that proves Germain’s involvement? Other than Maya giving she–wolves to Madison.”

Lycan Erasmus’s aura intensified again. His fingers dug shallow marks into the armrest of his black iron throne. “I know what happened with Sidney and how it created a rift between you and the Blue Abyss Pack. I want to know if your suspicion of Germain has anything to do with your personal feelings.”

“If you’re going to suspect someone, you need a good reason or solid proof. Do you have any

evidence now? You can’t just say you’re suspicious based on a hunch.”

He stressed the point. “This is treason. You have to have real evidence.”

A hint of impatience was in the king’s aura. Adelaide’s chest tightened. Her half–inch wolf claws shot out into her palms without her permission. Her nails dug into her skin, but she didn’t feel

She held herself up straight, refusing to bend under his power. “There are no personal feelings involved. My judgment is never based on personal grudges.”

Lycan Erasmus paused, a low growl rumbling in his throat. His voice was even more commanding as he pressed on. “Or did you find something at the Warscar Training Camp? Before you went to the Southern Border, you told me that Craig and Prunella found soldiers from the Western Tribe helping the Dragon Ash Kingdom fight. Is your suspicion of Germain based on something Prunella’s people found?”

Before he finished, his white musk scent suddenly exploded, making the bronze candlesticks in the council hall rattle.

Adelaide’s wolf howled a warning in her mind. But she bit her lip hard, swallowing the scream before it could escape.

She knew that any loss of control would be disrespectful to the Lycan King.

She absolutely couldn’t bring the Warscar Training into this.

The so–called “clues” they had came from either Prunella’s investigation or information Lance’s people had gotten in secret.

They only knew it was a possibility, but there was no concrete evidence.

Since she couldn’t produce any proof, she couldn’t claim to have it.

Besides, Prunella’s investigation results should never get to Lycan Erasmus.

He had always been wary of Prunella’s personal power.

So she answered truthfully. “As of now, in the treason case, we haven’t found any evidence that proves Madison had secret dealings with Germain or any other regional lord. But you have to use the process of elimination. When you rule out all the other possibilities, Germain is the most suspicious person. This is just a theory. We’ll verify it carefully later. We haven’t concluded that he’s the person behind Madison.”

Lycan Erasmus stared at her, not missing a single detail. “I remember Prunella is very good at

Adelaide unconsciously clenched her clothes as she explained. “Prunella didn’t investigate this specifically. She happened to be traveling in that area when she found soldiers from the Western Tribe on the battlefield. She knew it was a threat to our safety, so she messaged me right away.”

When she looked down, her vertical pupils slowly softened to a light blue. She was deliberately hiding her Alpha’s aura.

The white musk aura around Lycan Erasmus suddenly let up. The king’s icy presence faded a little.

The dark gold pupils in his eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but his expression was subtly calm.

He rubbed his fingers over the wolf head carvings on the throne’s armrest. The cold metal helped him relax completely.

Then, he waved a hand. “Okay, you can go. That’s all.”

As he said it, the stuffy air in the council hall finally began to move. The candles, which had been bent slightly by the aura, now straightened their flames.
