137 The Arrival of New Life

Claire's POV

“So… you really plan to exile Evans?” I asked cautiously after listening to Louis recount the events in the dungeon the previous night. “What about the Black Mountain pack? They’re already stirring, trying to overthrow the royal family. Won’t this only fuel their ambitions?”

“On the contrary. I plan to convene the Council of Elders and hold a public trial for Garfield Evans. Once his crimes are exposed to all the werewolves, everyone will understand why I imprisoned him. By then, the Black Mountain pack will have no justification for opposing the royal family.”

Louis calmly analyzed the situation while peeling a grape and placing it in my mouth. I nodded thoughtfully, but then immediately spat it out, wrinkling my nose.

Louis looked at me in concern, “What’s wrong?”

“The grape tastes bad,” I said, my mouth puckering from the sourness.

“Really?” Louis glanced at the grapes on the table and immediately summoned Alfred.

“Your Highness.”
