The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 569

Chapter 569: Chapter 569 Leon’s Arrival 3

The instant those words left his mouth, the entire hall erupted into an uproar.

"What?"

"An outsider?"

"This is a royal council discussing the kingdom’s affairs!"

No matter how anyone looked at it, allowing an outsider to sit in a meeting involving the kingdom’s highest secrets and political decisions was completely inappropriate. Such meetings were reserved exclusively for the Royal Family, the Alphas, elders, ministers, and trusted officials.

But the Alpha King couldn’t care less.

Leon was no ordinary outsider.

He was now one of Addison’s people.

More importantly, the kingdom desperately needed every ounce of strength it could gather. If that strength came from beyond their borders, then so be it.

His decision wasn’t merely about seeking reinforcements; it was a calculated political move.

By publicly acknowledging Leon’s status beside Addison, the Alpha King was sending a clear message to every pair of eyes lurking in the shadows. Anyone plotting against the princess would now have to think twice before making a move.

They wouldn’t just be provoking the Royal Family anymore; they would also be provoking the wrath of the Tigren Clan.

Perhaps this would interfere with some of Addison’s own plans, but it would also create a far stronger shield around the people she cherished. Any enemy bold enough to target her family or loved ones would have to bear the fury of not only her fated mates but also Leon and the terrifying Tigren warriors standing behind him.

That was a price few could afford to pay.

And Addison understood that better than anyone.

Their hidden enemies had survived this long because they were cautious. They valued their own lives far too much to gamble everything on a reckless attack that could end with their complete annihilation.

For that reason, she had little doubt they would remain in the shadows, for now.

Now that Addison had gained the backing of such an overwhelming force, her influence and authority would only continue to grow. To anyone watching from the shadows, it was a development they couldn’t afford to ignore.

Even so, Addison wasn’t worried.

Her enemies were arrogant.

Worse, they believed they still held the advantage.

From their perspective, Addison had only uncovered fragments of the truth. She continued to act as though she knew very little about the web of conspiracies surrounding the Royal Family, carefully hiding just how much she had already pieced together. Because of that, her enemies would naturally assume they were still operating safely in the dark.

Yes, Addison now possessed an incredibly powerful backer, but as long as they remained hidden, moved cautiously, and left no evidence behind, they would convince themselves that nothing had truly changed. They would believe they still had a chance to bring down both Addison and the Royal Family.

Their confidence would make them more careful...

But only slightly.

Arrogance had a way of making people believe they were smarter than everyone else, and Addison intended to exploit that weakness. She wasn’t afraid that they would suddenly vanish beyond her reach.

If anything, the illusion that they still controlled the board would encourage them to keep making moves, exposing themselves one piece at a time until she could identify every last conspirator hiding within the kingdom.

And that was exactly what Addison wanted.

Every extra day they spent believing they were winning was another day she could quietly strengthen the Royal Family’s defenses, tighten security throughout the palace, and build an impenetrable shield around those she cherished most, especially the two children, who remained the enemies’ easiest targets.

By the time her enemies realized the trap had already closed around them, it would be far too late to escape.

Besides, Addison had deliberately planted another misconception.

Everything she had said earlier, coupled with the precautions the Royal Family had openly taken, painted a very specific picture that they were preparing primarily for threats coming from outside the kingdom.

Anyone watching would naturally reach that conclusion.

And their hidden enemies, most of whom were deeply embedded within the kingdom itself, would almost certainly seize upon that supposed weakness. They would assume the Royal Family’s attention had shifted outward, believing the internal network of spies and moles remained untouched and safely concealed.

That false sense of security was precisely the opening Addison wanted them to have.

The more convinced they were that nothing had changed inside the palace, the more confidently they would continue to communicate, scheme, and expose themselves.

All Addison had to do was wait patiently...

Then pull the entire rotten network out by its roots in a single, devastating sweep.

Without wasting another moment, the Captain of the Royal Guard departed for the kingdom’s border to personally escort Leon back to the Royal Palace. To avoid losing precious time, he requested the assistance of Archmage Elric, whose mastery over spatial magic would allow them to teleport instead of making the long journey on foot.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Tigren Clan would be escorted to the guest villa the Alpha King had prepared for them, where they could rest until they were formally received. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

With those arrangements settled, Addison and the others returned their attention to the Recording Stone. The footage they had just witnessed contained far too many clues to ignore.

...

Archmage Elric, on the other hand, had no idea why he had suddenly been summoned.
