Everard didn’t even know what to think anymore. He was too stunned to hear that news.

And instead of him, Jerome questioned the alpha, “When did that happen? And how do you know about this and we don’t?”

Romulus heaved a deep sigh and then said, “I found that out when a few of my men accidentally discovered the freshly dug mass graves of the werewolves. Upon further investigation, we found out some of the werewolves from…” He looked Jerome in the eyes and then continued, “…from the Crestfire clan had led an independent attack on our esteemed guests.”

“From my clan? What do you mean they led an independent attack?” Everard exclaimed in fury. “Did they hurt Anastasia and Alexander?” he asked again, this time he looked deeply worried and scared.

Romulus immediately shook his head and answered, “Luckily, they were unhurt. I think those… those men from Sorvando were able to protect them well.”

Everard closed his eyes and heaved a deep sigh of relief. And for the first time, he was thankful to the vampires for protecting his friends from his own people.

The King then opened his eyes and asked again, “Who led that attack again?”

Being the most cunning person, Romulus pinned all the blame on the man who was from the Crestfire clan. “I found out that the one who led the attack was Graham. I heard that he was trying to recruit the men in that attack.”

.....

“And he brainwashed a lot of the young wolves and pushed them towards their death,” Romulus said without feeling the slightest bit of remorse even when he was the one who had indirectly brainwashed all of them by using Graham as a scapegoat.

He looked at Jerome again and said, “If you doubt what I just said, then you can ask around. You will find a lot of witnesses.”

However, Jerome readily believed Romulus’ words since Graham had come to him as well.

Everard clutched his fists and asked Jerome in a low growl, “Who is this Graham? Do you know him?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. He is one of the most talented men that we have in our clan.” Jerome also clutched his jaw and fists after saying that. He was angry at Graham for doing something that stupid. And more than that, he was angry at himself for not taking Graham’s rage too seriously.

‘I should have sat down with him and made him realize that the revenge he was demanding was out of the question,’ Jerome thought to himself.

He then dragged a chair and sat beside the King. And he revealed what he knew, “Graham was very riled up that night… the night of your coronation. He was saying that he didn’t like how the King of Sorvando insulted you in front of the whole crowd. And he was asking what actions we were going to take against him.”

“And?” Everard was managing to hold himself down by a thread. He was grabbing onto the armrest of the chair very tightly as if he was trying to stop himself from rushing to find that said person and kill him.

“But I clearly said that he shouldn’t be thinking about revenge. And I asked him to forget that the fight between you and King Caspian ever happened.” Jerome frowned and then said after breathing heavily, “When he went away after meeting me that night, I thought that he had given up on avenging you. But it looks like I was wrong.”

Everard quickly got up on his feet and then walked towards the door while ordering Jerome, “We are finding that man right now. I want to question him directly.”

Romulus was more than happy to hear the King saying that. He quickly went to open the door for the King and said, “Please feel free to ask for my help as well. I wanted to be sure that I brought the right information to you. So, I pretty much already have all the information that you might need.”

Everard didn’t want to depend on Romulus for information. He wanted to make sure that he got the untainted version of the information from the source.

So, without even replying to the alpha, Everard walked out of that room and walked toward his carriage.

And although Jerome hadn’t forgotten the true purpose they came to the distillery for, he didn’t remind the King about the file that he was looking for. There was a much more serious matter at hand now. Thus, he also ran after the King and got inside the carriage.

The royal carriage soon disappeared from sight, along with all the royal guards who had come along.

Romulus smirked happily as he had successfully averted the problem that he was facing at the moment.

“What did you say to the King, Milord?” Hendrix rubbed his hands together and asked the alpha with a nervous smile on his face. “It looks like he didn’t take our real ledgers.”

The smug smirk from Romulus’ face disappeared in an instant when he heard Hendrix’s irritating voice. He towered over that poor man and then asked in a growl, “Why was I paying you all that money when you can’t even solve such trivial problems yourself?”

The look on the alpha’s face was so terrifying that Hendrix dropped down to his knees in fear. And he immediately began pleading to the alpha, “Please forgive me, Milord. Next time, I will make sure that I don’t let such problems arise. Please forgive me this time.”

However, his pleas fell on deaf ears. Romulus grabbed that man’s hair and made that man look into his glowing red eyes.

To the horror of Hendrix as well as everyone who was standing close by, Romulus spread out his claws and then mumbled in a blood-curdling voice, “I am sorry, Hendrix. But there won’t be next time for you.”

And before that man could remember his wife’s face for the last time, Romulus plucked out that man’s heart without breaking a sweat.
