Ramona chose not to run a business but instead started working at the Pearwater Shelter, managing their purchasing.
Because many women there were frail, a separate building was constructed–a ‘wellness center–where they could receive nutritional meals and recover.
The shelter director had one rule: no ughtering of live animals on the premises.
So, Ramona had to make a daily trip down the mountain to purchase meat and haul it back <ol><li>up. </li></ol>
In addition, the hills around the shelter were rich with wild mushrooms, mountain vegetables, and even medicinal herbs, which Ramona gathered to brew restorative soups for the residents.
Various officials also sent in batches ofmon, yet helpful, medicinal herbs.
All the others from Madison’s estate had been dealt with, leaving only Rosa.
rissa issued a specific order: Rosa was to deliver meals to Madison at the Royal Detention Center daily. However, she was forbidden from entering or caring for her; she could only pass the food through a small window.
This opening, cut into the bottom right of the detention door’s inner side, was justrge enough for the tray.
When Rosa bent down, she could glimpse her Princess.
For Rosa, this was already a significant concession.
But her heart broke seeing Madison unable to stand, forced to crawl to the window.
The Princess Rosa remembered always wore exquisite silk gowns and priceless jewelry–an untouchable favorite of the Heavens who would discard any garment with the slightest smudge.
Now, Madison was confined to a dirty, stinking space, eating, drinking, and relieving herself all
in the same area.
Madison’splexion was rough and aged, no longer fair, and threads of white were starting to show in her brown hair.

Her Princess, too, was growing old.

As for Lacius, he was sentenced to five years of mandatorybor on the southern border.
He was considered lucky: he hadn’t been at Madison’s estate long, and more importantly, he had refused Madison’s order to assassinate Cassius’s family, which counted as meritorious service.
After bncing his deeds, five years of mandatorybor was the lightest sentence possible.
With these personnel matters settled, Madison’s estate was officially seized.
Dennis, Deputy Minister of Justice, used the opportunity to warn the public, “Do not harbor evil intentions ormit serious crimes, or you will face total ruin.”
Regarding Maya, she had introduced a she–wolf named Frederica to Madison’s inner circle, and Frederica waster murdered.
Investigations confirmed that Maya had told Frederica’s family she was taking her to the capital to mate with someone close to Madison.
Frederica disappeared without a trace. Her family’s extensive inquiries turned up nothing, and her elder rtive eventually died of grief.
Since Maya’s irresponsible introduction had ultimately led to Frederica’s tragic death, she bore an undeniable responsibility.
The officials required her to pay $30,000 inpensation to Frederica’s family.
To express her remorse, Maya voluntarily paid $300,000 and also donated money to the Pearwater Shelter.
On the surface, the matter seemed settled, but everyone knew the treason case was far from
over.
No one believed Madison was the true mastermind.
Germain was restless after his failed assassination attempt.
Every time he went to care for the ailing Pandora, he worried Lycan Erasmus would summon him for questioning.
But Lycan Erasmus hadn’t called him, which made him even more anxious.
Given the nature of treason, ordinary officials were less likely to be suspects; suspicion usually

Yet, Lycan Erasmus seemed to act as if the case was closed, having sought neither Germain nor Howell.
The longer he remained silent, the more terrified Germain became–especially since Madison was still alive.
After recovering from his injuries, Ulrik officially began his new role.
He first went to thank Lycan Erasmus, who kept him in the Royal Study for half an hour.
While offering counsel on his duties, Lycan Erasmus made hisplete trust in Ulrik abundantly clear.
Ulrik’s eyes were visibly red when he left the study.
A new department, the “Royal Pack Guard Command,” was established within the pce, with Adide appointed as its Director.
Since she would spend most of her time there, Ulrik made a point of visiting his new superior.
Once husband and wife, Ulrik now knelt on one knee to salute Adide.
With Ulrik’s appointment, the key figures were now assembled: Ellen (Deputy Captain of the Capital Guard), Anilo (Royal Patrol Captain), Ampelio (Deputy Captain of the Royal Guard), and Ulrik (Captain of the Lycan King’s Personal Wolf–Guard).
Ulrik’s emotions wereplex. He expected Adide to give him a hard time, but she simply said, “Get up. Just keep working hard.”
He rose, lowering his gaze. “Thank you, Gamma Adide.”
Ellen stepped forward, pping him on the shoulder with a grin. “Congrats! When are you treating us to a big dinner and a few drinks to celebrate?”
Ellen had once been Ulrik’s superior, and Ulrik still held him in high regard.

He quickly replied, “Whenever you gentlemen are free, we’ll make it happen.”
