Adelaide said to Caldwell, “Caldwell, I've asked Paisley to bring Poly over. Once you two meet, take her hto
your folks.”
Caldwell’s eyes welled up-this day had finally come.
When Paisley woke up, she heard the news—Adelaide was set to join the royal court and officially becthe
Ironthorn Legion commander, overseeing the Capital Guard, Royal Patrol, and palace security.
She felt like she was dreaming and kept exclaiming, “Ah?” until she rubbed her eyes and asked, “Really going to
be one of those officials everyone dislikes?”
Adelaide chuckled, “Why ‘disliked’? Can’t you be an official who does good for the people?”
Paisley propped herself up on her elbow, circled Adelaide with a finger, and said, “Alright, you'll make a great
official for the people.”
Adelaide recalled their days wandering together.
They used to disdain local officials, especially the corrupt ones, mockingly calling them “disliked officials.”
Yet they also admired the honest ones who truly cared for their people.
Those who truly care for the people have always commanded her admiration.
Unfortunately, their adventurous endeavors were short-lived, as they were soon captured and returned. As a
consequence, she was imprisoned by Klein for a fortnight.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThinking of the Shadow Peaks, Adelaide’s smile brightened.
“You're beaming,” Paisley said, her eyes suddenly glistening-it had been so long since she'd seen Adelaide smile
so carefree.
Adelaide explained, “Not happy about being an official, but about shedding those rigid expectations for she-
wolves. | can step out, gain more freedom, and do so much more.”
Paisley nodded. “True. Remember how you restrained your laughter around those noblewomen? It painedto
see you so constrained.”

“But why does Lycan Erasmus suddenly want you as an official?” Paisley wondered. “Your popularity was highest
after your return with battle honors. That was the tfor an official post. Now, with so much opposition likely-
most don’t want women in governance.”
Adelaide replied, “That's for Lycan Erasmus to handle. As for why he wantsnow, | won't speculate. Only by
stepping into the spotlight can | show him the Blackthorn Pack isn’t worth such suspicion.”
Caldwell, planning to urge Paisley to fetch Poly, overheard and was struck by Adelaide’s exceptional vision.
Hearing Adelaide said that, he was struck by how extraordinary her vision was.
She was, in fact, the one who saw things most clearly.
Lance, worrying about her, the Frostfang Pack, and their brotherhood, overthought and hesitated.
Paisley said, “Let's celebrate tonight! I'll get Poly first. Spectrehowl must be in chaos now, with no one minding
her. She might even check on Madison's mansion. Oh, and | never told her Madison didn’t really save her.”
PaisleyCaldwell, I'll leave this to you,” Caldwell said.
“Caldwell, I'll go now. Should you bring your parents to Blackthorn? They could meet Poly sooner. You haven't
told them yet, have you?”
“Not yet. It’s a great idea. I'll go get them,” Caldwell replied with another bow.
“Happy to help!” Paisley grinned. “Adelaide and | love family reunions. Oh, is your father on his way?”
“I've sent for him. You should fetch Poly first,” Caldwell urged, sweating with anxiety.
Paisley agreed and dashed out like the wind.
Caldwell had bought a townhouse and hired servants to care for his parents.
His father was aging and in poor health; his mother, distraught over her youngest daughter's disappearance, had
also fallen ill.
Doctor Digby had been helping them recover over the past two years.
