Chapter 36
Third Person’s POV
It was already late at night, but King Desmond was still at his office, fully awake and excited as his eyes scanned the latest report sent by the Kingdom’s messenger from the Northern battlefield.
His Beta, Jude, stood by his side, feeling the same gladness from the good news they received. All the worries they had felt days ago vanished when they learned that the threat Princess Elena had told them about had been proven
to be true.
“Excellent! Outstanding!” King Desmond couldn’t help but keep uttering words of praise as he read Prince Deacon and Princess Elena’s accomplishments.
At first, he couldn’t believe that they managed to handle the Rogue threat on their own and take back one of the important Rogue–controlled cities, which was a vital step in reclaiming the entire northern side of the kingdom.
King Desmond excitedly tapped the table and announced, “Remember, as soon as they get back, they shall receive a reward for their bravery and outstanding success!”
Seeing the pride in the King’s eyes, Beta Jude couldn’t help but voice out his thoughts as well. “They are indeed amazing, Sir. I expected as much from Prince Deacon, but I couldn’t believe that Princess Elena was hiding her true skills and strength. She’s indeed a Dooley!”
Hearing Jude announces Princess Elena’s accomplishment and outstanding skills, KIng Desmond is stoned in his place.
Feeling a surge of regret within him, he let out a deep sigh. He slowly put down the report on his table as he remembered how he mercilessly scolded Elena and insensitively accused her of being controlled by her jealousy and making wrongful decisions.
“She’s probably blaming me for questioning her motives before and not believing her,” he sadly shared his worries with Beta Jude.
“I think Princess Elena is good in nature like her father and brothers. I think she will understand your stance, Sir,” Jude uttered and bowed his head in respect.
However, instead of feeling comforted by his words, King Desmond was more saddened.
“I should not have judged her so fast. She deserves to know that I see her in a different light now.”
Jude nodded in agreement before the both of them were surrounded by silence as they tried to think of an idea that would best fit as a form of sincere apology to Elena. After all, the King knew that a verbal apology wouldn’t suffice to thaw the pain he caused her.
Suddenly, after a few moments, Jude’s eyes lightened up with an idea.
With a bright smile, he encouragingly advised, “As you said, sir, Princess Elena is well–deserved for a reward. Maybe once she returns, you can introduce her to a strong and honorable Alpha she could stand side–by–side with. A partner of honor and standing.

The King listened to his words, thoughtfully weighing everything out, but then his head slowly shook after some thoughts, making Jude curious.
“Is… it too much, sir?” he asked.
“No… not too much. Just unnecessary.”
What the king said utterly confused Jude.

Seeing his reaction, King Desmond explained his thoughts, Seeing as she ran to the battlefield without hesitation right after her divorce, I think marriage may not be what she seeks. I think she has the heart of a warrior, Jude. Titles and territories may mean more to her than any mate could. She’s earned that, don’t you think?”
Right then, Glenda’s name flushed in King Desmond’s mind. With Glenda’s skills, she was looked up to by the kingdom and was granted the first female general, which even men who weren’t Alphas could hardly earn.
But Elena…
Thinking of Elena’s decisive acts, fearlessness, and outstanding skills on the northern battlefield, the King found that Elena proved herself to be something more… something more outstanding and with greater potential that was even surpassing Glenda’s.
A glint flashed in his eyes as he thoughtfully looked at Jude” Perhaps it’s time to create a new honorable title, one greater than General Glenda’s.”
“Should I handle it now, sir?” Jude asked, but the King shook his head and replied, “No, let’s wait for her return first and ask her what she really wants.”
Meanwhile, in the Northern Borderlands, the camp buzzed with news that Alpha Bryon and General Glenda’s troops had quickened their travel and would be arriving soon.
