“Gamma Adelaide, there is something I’d like to ask you, if I may.”

Adelaide stopped and nodded. “Please, go ahead.”

Christine’s expression was pained. She hesitated for a heartbeat, looking thoroughly embarrassed, before finally speaking.

“Do you happen to know… why the Royal Marshal’s Office is still holding Ulrik? Why won’t they let him go?”

Adelaide blinked in surprise.

“Holding him? That’s impossible. He should have left the dungeons days ago.”

The Snowdeer Town case was closed. Velda had been extradited to the Western Tribe.

Ulrik hadn’t been hit with any major charges-just a demotion. By all accounts, ink dried on the treaty.

Christine gave a bitter smile.

Adelaide truly hadn’t heard a word about this. She thought for a moment and told Christine the truth.

“Lycan Erasmus has already pardoned him. It was just a demotion; he’s still the Deputy Commander of the Royal Guard.”

Christine’s face turned ghastly pale.

Otherwise, her entire pack would have become the laughingstock.

“Gloria has been hounding the old Luna, Cynthia, to save him,” she explained, looking humiliated.

“That confrontation just now… it was likely about that. Cynthia nearly had a heart attack.”

“I see. Well, I won’t keep you any longer.”

Adelaide knew the rest was family business she shouldn’t be privy to. She nodded and took her leave.

When she arrived back at the Blackthorn territory, Lance had just returned as well.

Having been fully immersed in diplomatic negotiations for weeks, his desk at the Ministry of Justice was buried under a mountain of scrolls awaiting his signature.

Adelaide sat with him through dinner and asked casually, “Is the Marshal’s Office still forcibly detaining Ulrik, or is there something else going on? I was at the Ironclaw estate today and heard he still hasn’t left the dungeon. Could Lycan Erasmus have made some secret ruling?”

In the Snowdeer case, Ulrik and Russell were linked.

Any judgment on Ulrik could ripple into the military leadership at the Bloodscar border, so Adelaide had to be cautious.

Lance spoke plainly.

“He’s squatting in there and refusing to budge. The guards don’t know what to do with him. Since he hasn’t been stripped of his commission yet, they can’t exactly throw him out. He’s just… lurking. I expect Lucas will report it to Lycan Erasmus first thing tomorrow.”

“I can’t believe he’s actually staying in a dungeon by choice,” Adelaide said, her eyes wide with bewilderment.

“Every other wolf in there is counting the seconds to leave that damp, miserable hole. What is wrong with him? Does he think the cell is his new territory?”

“Only the Moon Goddess knows,” Lance said, shaking his head.

“Lucas told me today that he’s curled up in the corner of the bottom-level cell. He doesn’t make a sound all day and only eats a single meal of bloody raw meat. The guards thought he was playing dead at first, but it seems he just has no desire to leave.”

Adelaide tilted her head. “Does he not even want his position as Deputy Commander anymore?”

This clearly wasn’t a punishment from Lycan Erasmus.

She shifted the subject. “After everything that happened during the summit, did you send anyone to keep digging after you reported to Lycan Erasmus?”

Milo’s assassination attempt could be brushed off, but Sybil poisoning Helia was something Lycan Erasmus couldn’t ignore- especially given the similarities to the Union County case.

Lance answered with certainty.

“Believe me, he’s going to tear the city apart to find the truth. My guess is he handed the job to Jeremy.”

Investigating treason was technically the Ministry’s job, but for a conspiracy involving those specific parasites, Erasmus wouldn’t let the bureaucracy touch it.

Just then, Beata entered with some servants to clear the table. Another omega, Beatrice, stepped forward and whispered a reminder, “Alpha, Luna, it is late. You should bathe and rest.”
