309 The Change
Selma Payne’s POV:
In the middle of September, I set off for the Shadow Pack. To protect my forr friends and family, the royal family announced that Aldrich and I were going on a honeymoon at the Shadow Pack. The specific itinerary was kept secret, and no dia interviews were accepted.
Accompanying us were Dorothy, Jordin, Emma, Master Kevin, and others. I thought the Sorcery Research Institute would send Master Hayley, but Master Kevin’s arrival surprised . He was famous for his academic brain. He was not interested in anything other than the library and the laboratory, let alone traveling.
On my wedding day, I saw him on the viewing platform. He was holding a delicate wooden box with the Y&Y on it. Before leaving, I visited Master Mary and asked her about it.
“It’s been so many years, but Kevin still hasn’t gotten used to this.” She said emotionally, “Ever since Layla passed away, Kevin would bring the dress he had customized for Layla to important events. This way, he can feel that Layla is still by his side.”
I sighed and didn’t pursue the matter.
Many of them, like Dorothy, had never left the Lycan Pack since they were young. She was extrely excited along the way, occasionally picking rare plants, seeds, spores, and other small things to store in her sample bottle. Compared to accompanying on a journey, she was more like a student on a study trip. She was more relaxed than anyone else.
We stopped at the Silver Moon Pack for a day to rest. As one of the top-ranked packs, the Silver Moon Pack was as prosperous as the Lycan Pack. In particular, this place was close to the plains that bordered the elf forest and human society. Trade was developed here, and it had a luxurious feel.
Francis welcod us warmly. Coincidentally, his youngest daughter also ca back to visit her family. I finally got to et the girl that Francis always talked about.
It was not accurate to call her a girl. She was a few years older than . Although she had been married for many years, and she led a very happy life. With the nourishnt of love, she was as young as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
“Greetings, Your Highness.” She went forward and kneeled before , seemingly a little excited. “Thank you for coming to the Silver Moon Pack. Your presence is an honor for all of us.”
Teresa was a talkative woman, and with her witty language, the unfamiliarity between us was quickly swept away. As I chatted with her, I was surprised to find out that her husband was an old acquaintance of mine – Benson’s friend, the head of the guards, Daniel.
“So you’ve known about for a long ti?”
“You could say that,” Teresa smiled shyly. “Daniel has been helping Mr. And Mrs. Payne to find you. I’ve gradually co to know about you.”
Daniel had always been one of the indifferent people in the Shadow Pack. He didn’t bully , nor did he help . He treated like an invisible person. We didn’t have much interaction, but I didn’t expect him to be willing to help my adoptive parents find .
I had to thank Daniel for taking care of my adoptive parents. Since Teresa already knew about my background, there was no need to hide my relationship with my biological parents. I didn’t know him much in the past. I didn’t expect him to be such a warm-hearted person who was cold on the outside.
“You know, conflicts and contradictions are inevitable in human relationships,” Teresa said with a troubled expression. “As Benson’s friend, Daniel had no choice but to avoid suspicion with you. He didn’t an to be disrespectful, so please don’t misunderstand.”
“Why do I feel like you’re a little afraid of ?”
Having been seen through by , Teresa smiled awkwardly and didn’t reply.
Recalling how she was so secretive about Benson that she didn’t even dare to ntion his na, I understood everything. The news of Benson’s resignation had long been sent back to the Shadow Pack. Coupled with so rumors that were intentionally leaked, smart people could easily link it to .
They were all adults, so they were expected to be realistic. No matter how good their relationship with Benson was, they had no choice but to admit defeat in front of . They were unlucky to be Benson’s trusted aides. To prevent from settling the score, it was normal for them to show goodwill in front of . I was sure Teresa had rushed back to her hotown alone to et because of her husband.
After figuring out the crux of the matter, I lost all interest in chatting and sent Teresa away with a few perfunctory words.
She was still a little worried before she left, but I had no interest in comforting her. Since she liked to guess at other people’s thoughts, she should guess as much as he wanted.
Aldrich and I took our leave early and returned to the hotel.
Seeing my low spirits, Aldrich asked, “Why are you unhappy? Did soone offend you?”
I shook my head. “No. I feel like sothing has changed.”
“What has changed?”
“I can’t say for sure. This feeling is like a flower growing from a seed to a flower. Although the surrounding environnt hasn’t changed and it’s still the sa, the outside world’s attitude towards it has suddenly changed.”
