    During Prisci’s New Year stay at the pce, rissa likely imparted some wisdom on being an elder.


    Upon returning, Prisci treated Adide a bit better.


    Two dayster, Velda’s insult to Penelope as an “old beggar” shocked the capital.


    Though the city recovered quickly from the disaster, many had received Penelope’s donated clothes and food.


    Her decades of charity earned her the old Lycan King’s praise as a “house of kindness.”


    Had an ordinary person insulted Penelope, the bacsh wouldn’t have been as severe.


    But Velda, with her already tarnished reputation, ignited public outrage.


    For a time, all sorts of trash were thrown at the borders of the Bloodmoon Pack. Some people even poured dirty water over their boundaries in the dead of night, and it wasn’t just a single bucket.


    Since the Bloodmoon Pack’s territory was close to two other packs, some of these night–time troublemakers couldn’t tell them apart.


    Their actions affected the neighboring packs and sparked conflicts. Members of the Bloodmoon Pack’s Velda shed directly with members of a neighboring pack.


    They were no match for Velda. Three of them suffered fractures, and one even had a broken leg.


    The incidents disrupted Ulrik’s work, drawing criticism from Ellen, who reported him to Lance.


    The Ministry of Justice was thrown into chaos because of the Bloodmoon Pack incident. For several days in a row, during the meetings, criticised and impeached Ulrik, as well as his father, Isaiah, and his elder brother, Simon.


    Lycan Erasmus, who had intended to promote Ulrik, was disappointed.


    He told Beta Fabian, “He’s ipetent and can’t handle important tasks.”


    Erasmus was frustrated because he had approved Ulrik and Velda’s mating, and Ulrik couldn’t reject Velda without dissolving their mating bond.


    He summoned Ellen to inquire about Ulrik’s work performance.


    Ellen reported that while Ulrik had been diligent before, he’d been error–prone since the pack incident.


    Erasmus instructed Ellen to ry to Ulrik the need to apologize to Penelope with Velda to resolve the


    matter.


    He also issued a publicmendation of Penelope, listing her years of charitable acts, and posted

    donation lists and usage details.


    The ckthorn Pack’s donation of $120,000, previously undisclosed, highlighted their kindness.


    Adide and Velda became hot topics in the capital.

    Adide’s generous donation was widely praised, while Velda faced condemnation for her insults andck of contribution.


    But some people said, “Adide, as Alpha Lance’s mate and the daughter of Alpha Bentley of the Frostfang Pack, is very rich. Donating over one hundred thousand dors is nothing for her. The Bloodmoon Pack is poor, and Rosemary is always ill. They can’t afford to donate. It is understandable.”


    But others refuted back.


    “Are you misunderstanding ‘poverty‘? Ulrik and Velda’s mating ceremony cost over one hundred thousand dors. And have you seen the long caravan of Luna Gloria of the Bloodmoon Pack transporting her personal belongings?”


    “You say they’re poor, yet they can casually take out enough money to live on for a year.”


    “Even if they are poor, they could just not donate. Why did Velda call ny–plus–year–old Penelope an ‘old beggar‘? Penelope walked in the cold to raise funds for the disaster victims. What’s wrong with her that she deserves such insults?”


    “Also, the ckthorn Pack is rich, but how much do you have? Do you have ten dors? Would you donate one dor? Probably not.”


    “So, they have the vision and generosity. Are the nobles in the capital poor? Why did they only donate thirty thousand dors?”


    Naturally, these discussions reached the ckthorn Pack.


    Adide sent someone to check the donation list and found that the ckthorn Pack’s donation was indeed the highest.


    This made her feel a bit uneasy, as it seemed like the ckthorn Patk was deliberately trying to draw attention to itself.


    Penelope had mentioned that the donation list would be handed over to the royal authorities, and whether or not they would bemended was up to the royalty.


    Adide remembered that donations had never been publicized before and couldn’t understand why it was being done this time.


    Her intention in donating was to help others out of kindness, not <i>to </i>gain fame.


    While Adide was feeling down, Prisci was delighted.


    She had someone look into <i>the </i>matter and found out that the Silverfeather Pack had only donated three hundred dors. Sheughed and said. “Three hundred dors? How can they have the nerve to donate such a small amount? When I go to the pce in a few days, I’ll <i>have </i>to mention this to the Full Moon Priestess.”


    Ansley, the son of the old Lycan King’s Full Moon Priestess, had a wealthy family and his <b>mate </b>was Veronica.

    Adide said helplessly. “We do good deeds to help others. If we startparing ourselves to others, <b>it </b>goes against the original intention. Let’s not talk about it anymore.”


    Prisci felt it was a pity to let go of the chance to mock others, but recalling her sister’s advice to heed Adide’s suggestions, she reluctantly agreed, “Alright, I won’t say anything else about it.”
