Alfred finally snapped back to reality, dropping to one knee and bowing his head low.
I am deeply honored by Your Majesty’s grace. By the Moon Goddess, I shall be eternally loyal to you and to our nation.”
Lycan Erasmus loved nothing more than such declarations.
“Jeremy, take him down. And tell the Alphas of the Imperial Escort that they should expect a round of drinks on Alfred tonight.”
Amidst this reshuffle of personnel, Alfred could barely suppress the ecstasy on his face, while Zach looked visibly disappointed.
As for Griffin, his face remained a blank mask, devoid of expression.
Walking out of the King’s study, Alfred still struggled to believe this was real. He leaned toward Jeremy and whispered, “Wasn’t this Ulrik’s position? Why the sudden promotion for
Jeremy let out a short laugh.
“Ulrik is still a Deputy Commander. However, from now on, he only oversees the Royal Sentry, the Royal Shield, and the PhanMartin Snipers. You, my friend, are in charge of the Imperial Escort, plus the Left and Right Wing Guards. One man, three units. If you run into trouble you can’t navigate in military affairs, come to me. Of course, you can also consult your teacher, Paisley,”
Alfred stiffened for a second. His status as Paisley’s student was supposed to be a secret, but with his frequent trips to the Blackthorn territory lately, nothing could escape Jeremy’s eyes.
“How could I trouble Lady Paisley with such things? If I have any confusion, I should seek your guidance, sir.”
Jeremy’s expression suddenly turned grave, as if he had remembered something important.
“You are now one of the King’s most trusted wolves; you must understand gratitude. It was the Lycan King who promoted you beyond the usual rules. With your seniority, you wouldn’t have risen this fast for another three to five years otherwise.”
Alfred quickly caught the hint in Jeremy’s words.

Though he hadn’t carved out a massive career over the years, he had spent enough time at the center of power to see how the great played the game.
His political instincts were sharp.
Consulting Paisley… meant eventually asking Adelaide, didn’t it? The King’s intent was likely for him to keep a pulse on the Blackthorn Pack’s information.
Even though Lycan Erasmus was merely using him as a tool, Alfred was still thrilled. He finally had the chance to prove his worth.
He silently vowed to the Moon Goddess that he would make the Lycan King see his true value.
That evening, Alfred booked an entire tavern to buy drinks for his future colleagues.
He extended the invitation to Ulrik, Zach, and Griffin as well.
To his surprise, Ulrik didn’t decline; he followed him into the tavern like a silent ghost.
Inside, Ulrik did nothing but drink cup after cup in near-total silence.
As the crowd grew rowdy with celebration, Zach suddenly approached with a cup in hand, his tone laced with a thin layer of bitterness.
“Congratulations, Alfred.”
Zach was indeed feeling slighted. He and Alfred had always been the same rank-in fact, Zach had often worried about Alfred’s stagnant career.
Now that Alfred had surged ahead so quickly, jealousy was inevitable.
Alfred sensed it immediately. He raised his oak tankard and held it solemnly before Zach.
“Thanks, bro. I haven’t forgotten how you looked out for me and tipped me off along the way. I’m grateful for everything you’ve done.”
Seeing that Alfred still maintained this respectful posture toward him, Zach’s jealousy cooled instantly.
He cracked a grin.
“Please, we’re brothers, drop the formalities. Come on, drink up. I’m genuinely happy for
you.

They drained their cups in one go.

As Zach set his cup down, his eyes swept coldly over Ulrik, who was huddled in a corner not
far away.
Though they held the same rank of Deputy Commander, Zach looked down on that “waste” with utter contempt.
His wolf was already eyeing Ulrik’s remaining influence.
The next morning, Alfred brought his entire family to the Blackthorn territory to pay respects to Paisley.
Naturally, they brought several large wagons filled with lavish gifts.
Paisley had heard about the promotion from Adelaide the night before.
At the time, she hadn’t felt much: So he got a promotion, what’s the big deal?
their
But seeing how seriously Alfred took it today, she realized that earning a promotion in the Imperial Escort required a significant contribution to the King. It was no small feat.
After chatting for a while, Alfred asked his family to leave so he could speak with Paisley and Adelaide alone.
He felt certain things needed to be stated clearly and honestly to avoid future misunderstandings.
After dissecting the court situation for them, he said seriously, “These are just my personal deductions. But please rest assured-no matter what political calculations are hidden behind this, I will simply fulfill my duties honestly. Schemes and plots are not my style.”
Adelaide glanced over and saw the look of approval Paisley was giving Alfred; she couldn’t help but find it funny.
The boisterous she-wolf was finally starting to look like a proper teacher.
The King’s sudden promotion of Alfred made it clear: he had completely given up on Ulrik.
Once Alfred left, Paisley let out a long, impressed sigh.
“Alright, I have to admit, that guy actually has some substance to him.”
Adelaide burst out laughing and walked over to hug Paisley. “Listen to your tone, dear. He’s much older than you.”

He caught them hugging and rolled his eyes, about to turn and bolt when he spotted the mountain of gifts on the table.
He asked curiously, “Whoa, who visited? Why did they leave so much good stuff?”
