Alpha’s Rejected Mate Returns as Queen - Chapter 508

508 On The Go Again

Selma Payne’s POV:

“You’re right, child. You should go to the Spring Rain Pack to save your father’s life.

“As for me, I also have things I should do. Since I have no choice but to push my daughter to the edge, let me, this incompetent mother, accompany you. I will go to the Spring Rain Pack with you and witness the end of this mess. If anything happens during this time, I will be your protective umbrella. I’ll do my best to ensure your safety at all costs.

“Compared to self-deception and escape, if you don’t want a tragedy to happen, then you should be the right choice to become a protective umbrella, right?”

Cynthia laughed and nodded enthusiastically.

This little brat.

In her protest, I ruffled her hair that Kara had carefully combed into a bow.

She lowered her head. Under cover of her hair, a tear at the corner of her eye silently evaporated into the air.

…..
‘It’s not the time to escape, Selma.

‘Remember your responsibility and feel your emotions. Even if the nightmarish night never stops, even if the dead souls can no longer be resurrected, life still has to go on, and there are lots of happiness and challenges waiting for you in the future. Wouldn’t it be a waste to just stay in the same place and not look at the scenery in the future?’

Fortunately, there weren’t many official duties recently, and there weren’t any spies eager to drag our family down from the throne. It could be said that I was given a relatively peaceful ‘vacation’, which gave me the time to go on another patrol.

I had originally thought this trip would be kept a secret, but my father felt that the royal family’s prestige was in a delicate vacuum. After judging the Evaria Family’s evil deeds, our family’s prestige among the people naturally returned to its peak. However, at the same time, the other crimes that were involved in this series of farces could not be underestimated.

Those high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants who committed many evil deeds were more or less related to the government. As the leader of the government, even if the royal family was unaware of this, it didn’t affect the people’s guesses about our abilities and morals. Monitoring was the royal family’s responsibility. So many atrocious and brutal tragedies had happened under our noses. This was our dereliction of duty.

These shocking cases silently eroded the foundation the Oromalivira Family had accumulated for many years. However, it was still insignificant, a dam of a thousand tons could collapse at the hands of an ant nest.

Therefore, in addition to quickly solving these chronic diseases, it was also necessary to appropriately show the achievements of the royal family to the people. Perhaps you would think this was a case of a farmer selling melons at the market, but the truth was that one had to shout in this noisy world. A mute who did things silently would not be respected and liked by others.

As the best example of innovation, what could be more inspiring than the success of the Spring Rain Pack? The werewolves still followed the system set in ancient times. In some places, this worked, but in other places, it became a shackle on the people.

The tide of anticipation for reform had long been surging among the people. Even the royal family had to obey the public’s will in order to survive the tide of the times.

As a result, the news of ‘Princess Madeline’s upcoming Spring Rain Pack tour’ quickly overtook major media outlets’ headlines the next day.

The preparations were done very quickly. Cynthia and I didn’t want to waste any more time. Dorothy was still a little dazed when she was packing her luggage. Yesterday, she heard me say that I wanted to take the children on an outing, and today she suddenly had to go on a business trip. The change from a good mother to a workaholic was too sudden.

Her expression immediately softened when she knew this trip would send us back to reunite as husband and wife.

“You had no idea, but the entire palace is waiting for this moment.” She hugged me and said softly, “We all hope you will be happy forever, Selma. I wish you success in everything. Let me tell you a secret. This is what I ‘saw’.”

Dorothy rarely used the power of the Eye of Insight anymore. She believed that there was a price to pay for peeking into fate. All insight had a corresponding price. Sometimes, knowing too much would not help the future and would instead cause more trouble.

She had used the Eye of Insight several times, and even though she knew the future, she always received malicious feedback from fate. This caused her to become cautious, just like me.

She had once said, “Perhaps I shouldn’t have peeked into young Sunflower’s future – can death be avoided just by knowing it? Or is it because we know the future that death will befall us?”

This was an unsolvable paradox. Dorothy could not solve it, and no one could.

Now, she was focused on the study of herbs and witchcraft. I believed her ability was no less than Adele’s.

However, she was a peace-loving person. She was more interested in history and runes than those destructive spells. The werewolf grandmasters all liked a student who was eager to learn. This allowed her to mingle in the Sorcery Research Association like a fish in water. She was so happy that she even forgot about home.

She had so much fun that she forgot about her home – this was a nice escape.
