The Family’s Regret After the True Heiress Walked Away Chapter 10
One year later, the Darkmoon Empire held my formal coronation.Representatives from packs across the Empire gathered at the Temple. The children from the Silver Moon Orphaned Pup Sanctuary sat in the front row, each holding a bouquet of white evening primroses.When the High Priest placed the Crown of Truth on my head, bells rang throughout the imperial capital.From the top of the stairs, I looked out over the crowd and saw my parents and brothers at the very back.They were not on the guest list, so they could only stand behind the barrier outside the Temple.My mother's shoulders shook with sobs.My father still held himself rigidly upright, but his eyes were red.Adrian held a box in his hands, no doubt containing yet another gift that had come far too late.Derek tried several times to approach, only to be turned back by the guards.After the coronation, an attendant came to my side."Your Holiness, the Alpha and Luna of the Moonshadow Pack request an audience."I removed my glove

Before leaving for the north, Bella submitted a new proposal to the Temple for the sanctuary.Under the new plan, the Temple would publicly oversee every account, and Bella would participate only as an ordinary volunteer.She slid the documents across my desk."This time, I'm submitting the proposal in my own name. The Moonshadow Pack won't be involved."After reading it, I looked at her in surprise."Why are you doing this?""Because those pups really don't have homes."To my surprise, she was telling the truth.I signed the approval page."The proposal may proceed, but your three-year sentence still stands.""I know."She took the file from me."Thank you, Vivian," she said softly.Even after Bella left, my parents and brothers continued submitting requests to visit me.I rejected every one.A month later, my mother came to the Temple in person with an entire trunk of dresses.I handed them all to an attendant."Take these to the Silver Moon sanctuary."My mother's face drained of co

Three days later, the Moonshadow Pack replaced all twelve doses that had been diverted from the sanctuary.That did not stop the trial.On the day of the Truth Tribunal, the Temple was filled with representatives from packs across the Empire.Bella stood at the center of the chamber, her face bloodless.The High Priest read the charges one by one.She had applied for sacred medicine in the name of homeless pups, then used twelve doses to stabilize her own wolf spirit. She had falsified the sanctuary's accounts to conceal what she had done and attempted to obtain another three hundred doses from the Empire.Under imperial law, she was required to compensate the sanctuary from her personal assets, was permanently barred from managing any charitable institution, and would serve for three years at a northern relief station.Because the Moonshadow Pack had guaranteed her application, its annual allotment of sacred medicine would also be suspended for one year.My father shot to his feet."T

The next afternoon, Bella came to the Temple alone. She waited in the reception room for two hours without touching the tea in front of her.The moment I entered, she stood."I brought the necklace."She placed the crystal necklace in front of me, fidgeting as she spoke."Mom finally told me this one is the real heirloom. The one she gave you was made later."I lowered my gaze to the necklace."You've known that for a long time, Bella."Her face paled."I…I only suspected it before."A lie.I said nothing and waited.Eventually, she lowered her head."Fine. I knew.""Mom put it around my neck herself on my eighteenth birthday. She told me it could only be inherited by the eldest daughter of the Moonshadow Pack.""After you came back, she asked me not to take it off yet. She was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it.""So you simply kept wearing it?" I studied her face."I was scared."When she looked up again, tears were already streaming down her cheeks."Before you appeared, I was M

The next morning, I completed my induction ceremony at the Temple.The High Priest placed the Scepter of Truth in my hands."The Darkmoon Empire needs a Saintess who can see through every lie, and you are the only one suited to the role."My first duty as Saintess was to help the Temple review aid applications submitted by the packs.One month later, I found Moonshadow on the list.They had established the Silver Moon Orphaned Pup Sanctuary in Bella's name and were requesting three hundred doses of imperial medicine used to stabilize wolf spirits.According to the application, every dose would go to homeless pups.I turned to the final page.Director: Bella.The Moonshadow Pack's seal appeared beneath the guarantor's signature.An imperial official looked at me. "Would you like to recuse yourself?""No.""But...they're your family.""They used to be."Three days later, the Moonshadow delegation arrived at the Temple.My father led the group, with Adrian and Derek close behind him.

My mother's fingers slowly loosened around the handle of my suitcase.My father stared at the white-haired priest kneeling before me, his anger giving way to disbelief."Saintess?"He repeated the word as if he couldn't possibly have heard it right.The priest rose and placed a token engraved with the Darkmoon crest in my hand."Her Holiness has been entered into the imperial registry as a Saintess. As of today, she is under the protection of the Darkmoon Empire and no longer owes allegiance to the Moonshadow Pack."My father's expression darkened instantly."That's impossible. She was at the registry office only moments ago, applying to join Moonshadow.""That application was never completed," the priest replied calmly. "After withdrawing it of her own accord, Her Holiness registered as a permanent citizen of the Darkmoon Empire. No pack has the authority to take her from here without her consent."My mother finally recovered from her shock and grabbed my arm."Vivian, when did you ag
