Chapter 114 Duskfang Pack Becomes a Laughingstock Again

Priscilla’s POV:

What nonsense was Angus talking about?

If it wasn’t Evelyn, then who else could it be?

How many female generals does the kingdom even have?

“If it’s not her, then who?” I shot back. “Everyone says it was the woman general!”

“They don’t know a damn thing,” Angus snapped. “I have inside sources. The real victory report was sent to the Royal Court a long time ago. Evelyn? Haha. Forget earning honors, she’s lucky if she’s still alive!”

“You’re lying!” I slammed my hand on the table and stood up.

“Lying?” Angus jabbed a finger at me. “Go on, keep fooling yourself! Back when Cindy was here, how was our pack treated? Which nobles from the Royal Court didn’t show us respect? That was because of Silverpeak Pack and because she was Benjamin’s daughter! And you? You threw away the diamond, chose the fake, and treated Evelyn like royalty!”

He swept his arm across the room. “This banquet burned through the last of the fund savings! Once the news gets out, let’s see how you clean up this mess!”

With that, Angus turned and stormed out.

“I’m not going to embarrass myself over this! I’m out of here!”

I watched his back disappear. Then I looked around the courtyard at the low-status guests stuffing their faces. Suddenly, my head spun. I grew panicked.

Could it be… that I was wrong?

James wouldn’t lie to me. Evelyn was strong. How could she have earned no merit?

They were just jealous. That had to be it.

I lifted my wine cup, but my hand shook so badly that the wine spilled all over me.

If the victory banquet was awkward, then what came the next day was pure humiliation.

Early that morning, the central square of the capital was packed with people.

I didn’t care about my status anymore. I pushed into the crowd with my beta and a few servants.

I had to see it myself. I had to see Evelyn’s name at the top. I wanted to slap Nick in the face with it.

“It’s up! It’s up! Morton is posting the list!”

The crowd stirred.

Morton stepped out with several attendants in red robes. They pinned a huge notice to the wall.

“By order of King Ryken and decree of the Royal Council…”

Morton’s rough voice rang over the square.

“Great victory at Southreach. The enemy was driven out. Glory brought to the realm. Honors are hereby granted to those of merit!”

My heart jumped into my throat. I stared at the list.

“First Merit! Awarded the Goldfang Medal. Granted the title Duchess Protector of the Realm with the rights of a prince. 100,000 acres of land and one ton of gold-Silverpeak Pack, Cindy Spencer!”

Boom!

The crowd exploded.

“Cindy Spencer? Did he say Cindy?”

“My God! I heard she led the Gamma Guards and chased off a Vampire Blood Prince!”

“That’s a real Valkyrie! How did we not see it before?”

I froze. My ears rang.

Cindy? How could it be Cindy?

It’s fine. Evelyn must be listed later, maybe second…

“Second Merit! Awarded the Silverfang Medal. Granted knighthood. 10,000 acres of land-Viola Silva!”

“Third Merit! Miguel…”

Morton kept reading.

Some names I knew. Some I didn’t.

But all the way to the end, every single name, I never heard Evelyn. Not once.

James wasn’t even on the list.

“Where’s Evelyn? Where’s James?” I grabbed a nobleman nearby like I’d lost my mind. “Look again! Did they miss it? Is it on the back?”

“Are you crazy?” He shoved me away. “If it’s not on the list, it’s not there. That means no merit!”

“No! Impossible!” I screamed. “Evelyn was the vanguard! She led the charge! How could her name be missing?”

Whispers spread around me.

“Hey, did you hear? That Evelyn wasn’t a hero. She was a sinner.”
