Third Person’s POV

Adelaide froze for a second. This was a matter of royal personnel; she had zero business sticking her nose

in it.

She lowered her head slightly. “I’m not sure which part you’re asking about, Lycan Erasmus.”

“According to the Werewolf Code,” Lycan Erasmus said, his long fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk, “the Crown has the right to deny leave or resignation if high–ranking officers are needed for urgent duties.

Adelaide’s heart skipped a beat. She knew that law, of course, but it was usually reserved for frontline commanders at the border.

Ulrik wasn’t exactly in the trenches, and they weren’t at war.

It sounded like Lycan Erasmus had no intention of letting Ulrik walk away.

“I defer to your judgment, Lycan Erasmus,” Adel.

replied, choosing the safest route possible.

“If you’re bringing up the Code, you clearly have to

your reasons.”

Lycan Erasmus actually let out a small chuckle at the look of a veteran hunter watching a clever fox

try to play it cool.

“Just leave it for now.” He tossed the resignation letter aside like it was junk mail. “I’ll sleep on it.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Adelaide bowed, ready to make a quick exit.

“Wait.” Erasmus stopped her, pointing to the chair across from him. “Stay for a second, Gamma Adelaide. I have a few things I want to pick your brain about.”

Adelaide sat back down. He leaned forward, his gaze turning intense.

“In the current military structure, you’re overseeing the Royal Patrol, the Palace Guard, and the Capital Defense Force.”

He paused. “The Royal Patrol is packed with ‘Legacy Pups‘–kids with zero talent and massive egos. Managing that crowd must be a massive headache for you, right?”

He was talking in circles, but Adelaide caught the drift instantly.

He hadn’t mentioned the Elite Royal Werewolf Guard.

There was only one “correct” answer here. He wanted direct control over the elite unit, but he needed her to be the one to suggest it.

Adelaide played along, putting on a look of slight panic. “To be honest, it has been… a bit overwhelming.”

Lycan Erasmus’s expression softened, his tone turning almost fatherly.

“This is your first time in such a high–stakes role. I don’t want you burning out. How do you think we should fix the workload?”

She pretended to think it over for a moment before testing the waters. “Regarding the Palace Guard…

Lycan Erasmus didn’t flinch. He just kept watching her.

“Or… perhaps the Elite Royal Werewolf Guard?”

Bingo. Lycan Erasmus’s lips curved into a slight smile, and the tension in his eyes evaporated.

Adelaide let out a mental sigh of relief and pressed on.

“I think it might be better to split the Elite Royal Werewolf Guard into its own independent unit. They should have their own leader and report directly to you. It would guarantee your personal security and take a massive load off my plate.”

Lycan Erasmus did a little performative thinking.

“Well, since you’re the one asking… let’s do it. I’ll issue a decree soon to make the Elite Guard an independent entity.”

Adelaide stood up to thank him, acting like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

It was a classic Lycan Erasmus move: he reclaimed total control over capital security while looking like a thoughtful boss who cared about his subordinate’s mental health.

And Adelaide, wanting to keep her family out of his crosshairs, gave him exactly what he wanted to hear.

Once Adelaide left, the office fell back into a dead silence.

Lycan Erasmus picked up Ulrik’s resignation again, looked it over, and threw it back on the desk like trash.

He turned his gaze toward the shadows where Fabian was standing.

“What do you think? Should I let Ulrik quit?”

Fabian bowed low. “Lycan Erasmus, this is a major personnel decision. I wouldn’t dare offer an opinion.”

Lycan Erasmus idly spun the ruby ring on his thumb.

“I’m asking. I want to know what’s in that head of yours.”

Fabian was silent for a long time before finally shaking his head. “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know, or you’re too scared to say it?”

Lycan Erasmus’s voice turned ice–cold. He unleashed a sudden burst of Lycan aura, the sheer weight of his aura forcing Fabian to his knees.

Fabian knew Lycan Erasmus wanted to keep Ulrik around and was just looking for a “Yes–man” to agree
