Chapter 322: The New King
With Boris’s trial all set and done, Nathan had one less obstacle left in the face of his inevitable abdication. Of course, everyone in the know was shocked at the revelation of Danos’s crimes and inevitable fate, but time still moved forward.
Boris himself was currently making preparations to retake his position as the Alpha of his own pack, and he as king was still hard at work laying down the groundwork for his departure.
And yes, that also meant that the Elders back at the Convel Society were still hard at work trying to oust him before he was ready.
"Just because one of us had been revealed to be doing heinous crimes right beneath our noses doesn’t mean that the rest of us will keep quiet!"
Nathan couldn’t help but sigh as he found himself back on the proverbial hot seat, the Elders around him getting on his case as he once again had to attend yet another emergency meeting regarding his choice for a wife and queen.
"And for the last time, I refuse to divorce my wife," Nathan rolled his eyes as he insisted on his case. "There’s nothing that will change my mind on that matter."
"Then why are we even here discussing this in the first place?" an Elder cried out in outrage. "If our King refuses to divorce him then he should abdicate the throne immediately!"
Nathan shook his head in annoyance. He really didn’t mind, but he still wanted to do a bit more cleaning in regard to all the paperwork and leftover problems that Danos’s disappearance had caused. Sure, he could dump it all on Aspen if he wanted to, but that was just bad form as a responsible ruler.
He needed to buy some time. Even a week would do for his purposes.
