Chapter 10

ผู้เขียน: H. Spoonie
Derrick blocked my carriage and asked in a pleading voice, "Talia, can we talk?"

I stepped down and looked at the man who had once brought me so much pain. I hadn't taken a close look at him during the ceremony, only noticing his tattered clothing. But now, seeing him up close, I realized how much he had aged. He was no longer the handsome man he once was.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. I'm busy."

My cold response made him flinch, but he quickly masked it, replacing his expression with a soft, affectionate gaze.

"I just saw your ceremony. Congratulations. You looked absolutely radiant."

"If that's all, there's no need for pleasantries. I have things to do. I'll be going now."

"Wait!" He reached out to stop me from getting back into the carriage, then pressed his hands together in a desperate gesture. "Talia, please… Can we start over?

"I got rid of Lilith. She was nothing compared to you.

"I finally realize how horribly wrong I was. Please, just give me one more

    I only chuckled and didn't dwell on it. After all, I had plenty of things to do.Another year passed. Under my leadership, we reclaimed several small nations that had attempted to invade us and established diplomatic agreements with those willing to coexist peacefully.Before I even realized it, the Silvani Pack had become the largest and most prosperous pack in the Argentmoon Federation.To honor my achievements, the Alpha King held a grand ceremony in the royal palace, bestowing upon me the highest honors and granting me the status of nobility.Standing on the podium, I felt far less composed than I appeared.I was no longer a powerless rogue drifting from place to place. I was no longer the nameless, masked "Shadow". I was Lady Talia, the first Alpha Female in the history of the Argentmoon Federation.I knew I would remember this day forever.As I rode beside the Alpha King's carriage during the next part of the ceremony—the grand procession through the city, receiving the

    The Silvani Pack faced the same issues that the Lupusumbra Pack once did.Located on the border of the Argentmoon Federation, the pack was constantly under threat from rogue attacks and small neighboring nations seeking to invade.But this was exactly what Allison and I excelled at.Over the next few months, we worked tirelessly to negotiate with the rogue leaders. Those willing to surrender and who had committed no serious crimes were welcomed into our ranks.As for the small nations that sought to invade us, we always attempted negotiations first, striving for peaceful cooperation. Only when that failed would we strike first and fight them head-on.Under our leadership, the Silvani Pack flourished. Life became more stable than ever before, and the people's smiles grew wider with each passing day.During this time, though we never actively sought out news of the Lupusumbra Pack, it was impossible not to hear whispers about its fate.It didn't take long for word to spread—Derric

    I exchanged a look with Allison and the others, then shrugged helplessly.We secured our belongings tightly, stretched out our limbs, and scouted for the best points to jump from.Derrick panicked. "Wait! Are you insane? That's a ten-meter-high wall! Are you seriously just going to jump?"I shot him a look of pure disdain. "Did you think a simple wall like this could stop my team?"With a light leap, we landed on the trees beside the wall, using the branches to propel ourselves down with ease.Allison and I had fought through countless battles together. We had once been surrounded by enemies, forced to jump off a hundred-meter snow-covered cliff, only to land in a pile of snow with nothing more than a few scrapes.This was nothing.My warriors made it down one by one. I was the last. Just as I adjusted my bag and prepared to jump, Derrick grabbed my arm."Talia, wait… I've been thinking. I was wrong."I'll announce our relationship and even get rid of Lilith just like you want

    Derrick panicked. "How is this happening? They agreed to the deal!"I whistled lightly, humming a tune as I made my way toward the exit.He scoffed. "Do you think I can't handle things without you? Those rogue wolves gave us their word, and now they're breaking it. Whatever. Just send Allison and the others to clean up this mess."But Lilith looked uneasy. Unlike me, she had no confidence in leading warriors into battle.She stepped in front of me, blocking my way. "Was this your doing? Did you tell those rogues to break the agreement?"I shoved her aside. "Move. Instead of pointing fingers, maybe you should focus on fixing the problem."Those rogue factions were famous for being difficult to deal with. Their constant raids had kept the wolves of the Lupusumbra Pack on edge for years.Even as more rogues joined us and even as our village expanded into something resembling a real pack, no one had dared to call it one—not until I brokered peace with those factions.Without their

    I returned to the castle to gather the rest of my belongings.To my surprise, Derrick and Lilith were both there, seated at a table covered with several sheets of paper filled with dense, handwritten notes.They were the documents I had prepared yesterday before going to see the Alpha King—detailed records of every pack affair I had handled.Derrick's expression softened. "You do have some sense. Knowing that Lilith would be taking over as chief steward, you wisely wrote down all the key details in advance."But what you did was unacceptable. As a warning, I've already informed your unit that Lilith will be taking command. Go tell them they are to follow her orders from now on."And for the next few months, you will pose as Lilith's handmaid, assisting her with pack affairs."Lilith gasped, feigning concern. "Alpha Derrick, isn't that a bit too much? After all, Talia has contributed so much to the pack. Making her my handmaid seems unfair…"Derrick scoffed. "She actually threate
