Alpha’s Rejected Mate Returns as Queen - Chapter 323
323 Talents
Selma Payne’s POV:
Kaya, who was captured, wanted to kill me with her eyes, but who would care about the thoughts of a defeated opponent? I asked Master Kevin to cast a spell on the elves to forget everything and sneakily made him add the evil elements used by evil sacrifices to the spell, pinning the blame on the wanderers.
After doing all this, I suddenly felt like I had accidentally become the villain. However, there were no good or bad people in the war between the two races. If I were to surrender without putting up a fight, these arrogant elves might do something even more outrageous.
Did someone think the gentle image the elves had created for themselves was real? There was no way the ‘good guy’ would be able to stand out among the supernatural races with strange abilities.
We left the unconscious elf at a safe place and hurried along. We finally left the elf forest’s periphery before dark.
After entering the latest pack, I ordered the team members to make adjustments and report today’s encounter to my father.
My father didn’t agree with my rashness, but after hearing my reason, he felt that although the method was a bit rough, it could save him a lot of trouble. He asked me to return to the Yellow Leaf Pack immediately and appear in public as if I had recovered from my illness. As for the search team, they immediately returned to the pack for their next mission.
“Traces left behind by the wanderers have been found in many areas. Even the three packs have found an evil sacrificial array that is the same as the picture you sent back. The wanderers will likely split into several small teams and commit crimes separately. Our next step is to carry out an inch-by-inch investigation in the entire clan’s territory and rescue the missing orphans as soon as possible to prevent the wanderers from doing anything that will endanger the people,” my father said.
…..
“The search will alert the wanderers, and they will likely escape to the border again. I have already sent troops to guard a few important passes, and your next task is to manage the three packs. The border areas where they are located are famous for being poor and weak, and there was a high probability that they would become the choice of the wanderers. I’ll send the army to assist you, and report to me immediately if I find any suspicious people.”
After dismissing the search team, I rushed to the Yellow Leaf Pack overnight and appeared in front of everyone at noon the next day as if I had just recovered from a serious illness.
Aldrich didn’t participate in this search mission because I was feigning illness. As the other royal family representative, he had to appear in front of the people to appease everyone.
Fifteen days had passed, and the results of the poll were out. Unsurprisingly, the residents of the three packs supported the merger with a high approval rate. What surprised me even more was that the interim government discussed a set of transformation plans and gave them to me in these fifteen days.
“Don’t underestimate anyone’s wisdom.” I couldn’t help but sigh. “Back then, I chose the people’s representatives in the hope that they could balance the officials and make the government work in the direction of the benefit of the people. Who would have thought that they would give me such a big surprise? ”
It was always the people themselves who understood the needs of the people. This plan was much more detailed than my idea and closely related to the people’s livelihood. I summoned a few of the people’s representatives in charge of drafting the draft and asked them for their thoughts. Although they were a little reserved, they still boldly expressed their ideas.
I could tell that there was a leader among them. It was the woman who answered my questions most of the time. Her name was Wania, and her white hair showed that she had been through a lot in her life.
This spirited old woman had worked in the government for many years, and after the overthrown Alpha came to power, she was squeezed out by his lover. After that, she worked as a welfare social worker for many years and deeply understood the people’s livelihoods.
When faced with my questions, her answers were neither humble nor overbearing. She even gave me new inspiration from many angles. The more I talked to her, the more I felt she was a rare talent. She could play a role in the modification work.
After the conversation ended, I sincerely extended an invitation to everyone, including Wania. “Merging packs was a complicated project, and modifying them was even more difficult. Everyone here was an indispensable talent for building new packs. Please join the planning team and give your help.”
This might be good for others, but Wania rejected me without hesitation.
Although she said it very nicely, ‘she’s old’ and ‘her strength doesn’t follow her heart’, I always felt that her experience in her youth made her no longer trust those in power, so she kept a respectful distance from me.
I didn’t force her. Although I wanted her to join the planning team, I couldn’t force her.
In short, we would officially begin the transformation planning work according to this comprehensive draft. The transitional zone in the three packs had to be used. The low land price and large available land made it a superior residential land. No one had any objections to the construction of new communities, but there was a great contradiction when it came to the transformation of the Old City District.
