The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141

After flipping his light brown ponytail tied with a maroon ribbon to the back, Riven cleared his throat and spoke, “Your Highnesses. Your Graces. I am of the view that any replacements should only be temporary. Deciding otherwise would just be the government coming to its own Verdict for our arrested colleagues before the courts deal with the crimes themselves. And, as much as it pains me, I must say that wolves are nowhere near ready to help run the Kingdom. I am not saying that there should be an indefinite bar of their species but it is dangerous to include them in discussions in the near future.”

“Dangerous how, Riven?” Xandar asked as he tried his best to control his temperament.

Lucianne’s sarcasm came to mind but Riven knew better than to insult the Queen. So, he chose to say, ” Well, there may be certain…traits of theirs that may be…abhorrent and…detrimental to the proper

functioning of the government.”

“Such as?” Xandar continued to press.

Riven was running out of arguments, and he tried to avert his eyes from Lucianne and Xandar as he continued to rummage through his thoughts.

Christian then prompted him, “We haven’t got all day, minister. Enlighten us. What traits do our cousin species exhibit that are, in your words, abhorrent and detrimental to the proper functioning of the goverment?”

“Well..uh…”

Yarrington was getting impatient as well. “Did you even think this through before making your suggestion, Riven?!”

“Of course!” Riven exclaimed defensively at the Minister of Education.

Weaver then spat, “Then, what’s taking so long?! Just lay it on the table. What evidence do you have for saying what you just did?”

Riven’s eyes inadvertently and mistakenly glanced at Lucianne, making the King and the Duke glare at him in rage as Lucianne let out a light chuckle. Everyone’s eyes fell on her. Xandar’s hand went over her shoulder protectively as he continued to scorn the minister.

Lucianne then said, “We’re all adults here, minister. What is it about me that’s abhorrent and detrimental? Tell me.”

“Uh…” Riven’s lips were beginning to quiver. Everyone saw it.

Lucianne pecked a sweet kiss on Xandar’s cheek to calm him before she turned back to the minister and said, “Well, if you can’t say it. I’ll have to guess it won’t I, minister? Is it how I look?”

“NO!”

“How I dress?”

“No, my Queen.”

“How I speak?”

“Ah, so it’s how I speak. What about it? Too much sarcasm?”

“There you go. That wasn’t so hard.”
