Chapter 91 Domain Management Department
Zion’s tone grew thoughtful. "The only problem is that the good witches are incredibly elusive and secretive. Still, they might know something about the curse and these artifacts. And while connecting with the Sacred Lands might be nearly impossible, what about the mermaids? Maybe they could help us in some way."
As they walked slowly back toward the office, leaving the cleanup to the warriors, Levi listened carefully and took mental notes. He knew Zion was laying out contingency plans, but the reality wasn’t so simple. Forming alliances with other races—especially the witches and mermaids—wasn’t just difficult, it was almost unheard of.
Mermaids were sea-dwellers with their own domain and enemies. They had little interest in the affairs of land dwellers and rarely involved themselves in conflicts outside their territory. As for the witches, though natural enemies of the dark witches due to the inherent clash in their existence, they were fiercely independent and extremely reclusive. They didn’t trust outsiders and cherished their peace and seclusion above all else.
Still, despite the odds, Zion was right—they had to try. There was too much at stake to leave any path unexplored.
"What did you say? The rogues have been acting strangely around the Midnight River Pack?" The Alpha King, who was presiding over the court meeting, furrowed his brows as he listened to the report from one of his aides.
Standing just behind him was Addison, recently returned and dressed in an assistant’s uniform, her appearance slightly altered by a subtle disguise. Her return was still a closely guarded secret, and with so many aides and department heads present at the meeting, it was crucial to keep her identity hidden for now.
This arrangement allowed her to begin attending court sessions discreetly—to observe, learn, and prepare for the responsibilities ahead. After all, aside from being the heir apparent, what better role would grant her access to such high-level meetings than serving as the Alpha King’s personal assistant?
To avoid drawing too much attention to her, the Alpha King had tasked Elric with casting a disguise spell on Addison. Now, she appeared as a young human male—shorter than the average adult werewolf, but still tall enough to convincingly pass as a young man.
With her head lowered and quietly following behind the Alpha King’s secretary, no one paid her much attention. The court members simply assumed she was another aide and went about their business as the meeting commenced.
