Chapter 74
“The newly developed wolfsbane bullets are twice if not more deadlier than they were a few decades ago, we have no certainty of the future. Of course we will do everything there needs to be done to stop the one behind the attack. And 99.99% of the cases his majesty and us will not have a problem with dealing with this problem. I just want to make sure about the 0.01% chance that there would be one.
The royal family has only produced one heir each generation. The family has already shrunk until his majesty is the last werewolf with the highest rank achievable, he is the last one of the royal family. His child is our future. We can’t wait any further.” The elder sighed as he spoke and taking another breath continued with determination.
“Lady Yvonne is one of the most powerful female werewolves of our kind at the moment, she is the prime candidate we have selected. Whether it is status, beauty, ability and most importantly rank, she has them all. He would surely fall in love with her, no matter how stoic and stern his majesty is.
If there is one woman capable of making him attracted to a female I am sure she is the one!” He
finished the words with conviction.
“But what about the student watcher? She is the first female watcher ever, surely her rank would also be high enough.” Stephen asked as he pondered about high ranked females, when he heard the head councilman talking about rank. Celia Blair’s ability came to his mind, as he recalled the bewildering fight he had watched on his laptop the day the Academy had emailed it to them.
“The female watcher is a 3rd rank wolf, but so is lady Yvonne. Not to mention that lady Yvonne is already 45 years old and has trained for a longer period of time so she should be even higher in rank now. And another fact to keep in mind is that his highness has already seen the alpha a couple of times already, if he was attracted to her he would have done something about it by now.” The elder stated objectively. He wasn’t a partial man to one particular lady, as long as his highness would notice the said female, he would be satisfied. But it was true that Lady Yvonne had more advantages
at this moment.
“But Em… Victor have you not heard the rumors?” The second in command inquired surprised, the news about his highness would always be known by Emery before anyone else. It was the first time that the elder was not already aware of it. For some reason is seemed to him that the attention of the leader of the Council was misplaced.
“Rumors? Which one?” The head councilman asked intrigued, but still did not take his eyes off of his
files.
“It came to my knowledge that his highness has moved Celia from the hospital to the Royal Palace to recuperate, he has never done so before. Perhaps it is his way of doing something about it, as you
previously said. What if the presence of Lady Yvonne causes problems?”
Hearing this information, the head councilman was stunned, it seemed that his intelligence line faltered so much that even his second in command found something as important as this before him. Quite annoyed at this fact, he directed his gaze towards his assistant with narrowed eyes and humphed, before looking back to Stephen.
His assistant sighed, truly everyone was implicated in investigating the attack and other watcher problems, he did not have time to inquire about the matters in the palace. He had thought that his attention for when lady Yvonne would arrive and where she was at this moment was enough. He really had the worst of jobs, he finally thought. The elder was never satisfied with his work.
“Well even if Lady Yvonne’s presence causes problems it is alright. It would still be a move forward from this point onward, something to stir up the stalemate situation. His highness knew of the female watcher and saw her some months ago and did not react yet, so whether he likes her or not it is not certain.
Also,
even i
if his majesty does not take a liking to Lady Yvonne, her presence might make the female watcher want to be closer to his majesty wary of somebody stealing his heart.
Truthfully speaking I would not mind Celia Blair as his partner or lady Yvonne either. If his highness has a baby with someone… anyone, I would be satisfied.” Emery replied with the same conviction as before. He was a stubborn man, it would take more than one two reasons to make him change his mind, once he set his thought on accomplishing something.
His assistant and Stephen both sighed looking at one another, understanding the other’s thoughts. just by looking at each other’s faces. They only hoped that the interference of the old man did not make matters worse, if there was truly something going on between Celia and his highness.

EXTRA. Salas’s POV
It was already more than two months and two weeks ago, the last time he saw her. He met her at the opening ceremony and, for the first time in his life, fell in love. He felt like it was a joke, he was already a hundred years old werewolf and he fell in love with a twenty two years old pup and was now missing her like crazy. Whenever he would close his eyes, her smile and her blushing face would appear in his mind. Would everyone laugh at him if they knew?
