Chapter 79: King Theodulf
At the Convel Society Territory, Country V
As soon as the sun rose, the Elders and the Alphas of the packs forming the Convel Society gathered at the meeting hall. They were all ther to talk about their new king.
"How come he’s nowhere to be found?!" one of the Elders of the Convel Society barked out.
As the king’s right-hand man, Aspen stepped forward and said, "Our king has his reason for being out these days. We cannot disclose too much information on his actions since what he’s been up to is strictly confidential, but we assure you that he is working for the welfare of our society." He added, "And the top priority right now is taking down King Marcus and invading the Moon Clan of the Mirage Group."
A scornful scoff came from Danos, the Alpha of the Midnight Pack. "Who knows what’s he really up to? For all we know, he’s just around enjoying himself on a vacation or some other kind of debauchery." He looked at Aspen with disgust as he continued, "How could you even allow an outsider to take over the Blue Moon Pack anyway? That Theodulf suddenly appeared out of nowhere and challenged Decan for the throne, representing your pack from out of absolute nowhere. Tell me, Aspen, do you even know him enough?"
Aspen sighed. He already expected this kind of blowback, but Theodulf still didn’t want to disclose his identity. It was still up to him to decide when he would tell everyone who he truly was.
He gave Danos a reassuring smile as he defended, "Our pack knows enough about him to let him rule us. I’m sure he proved himself worthy enough to win the Challenge to a fight to the death."
Another doubtful scoff came out from Danos as he grunted, "And yet we didn’t even witness a fight to the death."
Decan, who was also present in the meeting hall as the Alpha of the Night Crawler and the former king of Convel Society, clenched his fist as he glared at Danos’s direction. The man didn’t approve of everyone coming to the throne since he himself wanted to rule the Convel Society. Everyone knew about his ambitions, but Danos wasn’t brave enough to challenge a reigning king. He was too afraid to die in a fight.
"You sound like you’re more relieved to see me dead, Danos. How about you challenge King Theodulf for the throne yourself since we already witnessed how generous and how he valued the life of others," Decan mocked, earning a suppressed chuckle from the others in the room. "You don’t dare challenge any king since you’re scared to face death. Well, my friend, I guess this is your time to shine... Give it a try, and I’m sure King Theodulf will spare your life too..."
In all respects, Decan was honestly pleased with their new king. King Theodulf had gained his respect, and he was glad to hear that he was making an effort in bringing down the Moon Clan. They only wanted to live in peace and co-exist with the rest, but King Marcus from the Moon Clan was desperate for blood.
