Selma Payne’s POV:

We’d long been troubled by how to deal with the exchange students.

Although the contract had been extended, contract would expire one day. What should we do then? Send the elves back? However, the elves were in a civil war. Putting aside the issue of whether it was safe to send them back, it was still unknown whether the interim government would still exist!

But were we going to keep dragging it out like this? How long would that take? It would be best if the civil war ended in a year. Would the elves want to settle down in the werewolf pack if it lasted for ten or twenty years?

But what would we do if they want to return to their hometown? Stop them from leaving? What about those students with families? From now on, would they be separated from their flesh and blood?

In the end, the root of the problem was still the elves. We were naturally willing to cooperate if the other party could devise a relatively normal solution. But now, there was a big problem no matter how I looked at it!

Not to mention how multiple Elf Kings suddenly appeared, the requirements of these documents alone were two extremes. Those who wished to send the elves back obviously harbored ill intentions, and those who wished to keep the elves in the werewolf pack weren’t necessarily good people. In short, I could sense that a conspiracy was slowly taking shape around these innocent children.

“We shouldn’t have sent the exchange students back,” I immediately expressed my opinion. “This is not right. Their statements are contradictory. They must have used the Elf King’s name, meaning these documents are illegal.”

“Of course!” Aldrich agreed. “Although 1 missed a lot of things while I was unconscious, I think it’s best to keep children away from conspiracies, even if it looks like they’re relatives. For people who don’t care about morality, harming their loved ones will be even more unscrupulous.”

My father pondered for a while before shaking his head. “But I don’t think we can do that.”

“Why not?” I didn’t understand. “There’s obviously a problem here. If we send the children back so easily, it’s hard to guarantee what will happen to them. Moreover, who would take over even if they were to be sent back? Now, the elf race has more forces of all sizes than the stars in the sky. Which side’s request should we accept and which side should we reject?”

“That’s the problem,” my father said. “We can’t reject all these diplomatic documents. It’s too tough. Refusing the request to be sent back at such a special time seemed like detaining the elves as hostages, which would send a dangerous signal to the elves. Even if the other side has already fought until the sky is dark, we can’t easily gamble on the possibility of conflict.”

My father’s words calmed me down. Indeed, it would be unwise to refuse outright. No matter what, since the other side’s split forces could send the same request at the same time, it meant that there was a secret among these exchange students that we didn’t know. Moreover, this secret was of great importance to the elf race.

But were we going to send the students back to that war-torn place just like that?

In response, my father said cunningly, “Not rejecting doesn’t mean you have to agree, right? Otherwise, 1 wouldn’t have sat here all night to reply to a fief.”

Aldrich and I looked at my father in confusion, and he slowly pushed open the large pile of letters from the elf race. He took a slightly old file from the drawer and handed it to us.

Inside was the new agreement signed earlier to extend the duration of exchange students studying abroad.

1 didn’t understand. My father gestured for me to take a look at the contents. 1 read it from beginning to end. I suddenly understood my father’s intention when I saw the signature and seal.

“Oh my god, how could 1 have forgotten about this!” Staring at the gorgeous handwriting, I exclaimed, “That’s right, that’s it. The one who signed the agreement with us was the interim government. The only person we had to be responsible for was the interim government! As long as the interim government doesn’t ask for the exchange students to be sent back, we can use this as an excuse to stall for time!”

“That’s true,” Aldrich said. “This way, we won’t have any room for criticism in our procedures. It’s useless for those independent forces to be anxious because this is ultimately not a conflict between them and us, but between them and the interim government.”

My father was very satisfied with our answer. He smiled and said, “That’s right, so we don’t have to refuse or agree. We just have to ask for the opinion of the interim government. As for the rest, there’s no need for the werewolves to interfere in the internal turmoil of the elves. We just have to wait and see.”

Thus, a conflict that could have caused a dispute between the two groups was resolved silently. Although the elves couldn’t go home for the time being, they were safe. As for what the elves think, it had nothing to do with us. It was their problem to be unable to unite in their opinions.

As for the secrets of the exchange students, it wasn’t the time to explore them yet.

Now, I had to go back and sort out the truth about Layla’s death and prove the victim’s innocence..
