Semua Bab The Forgotten Princess & her Beta Mates: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Dallas’ p.o.v. After lunch, we head to the King’s Chamber for our meeting with the Elders. This time, I will be sitting beside Uncle Vaughn as his Beta, even though I haven’t taken the position yet.I take my time to look around as we wait for every Elder to sit down. The King’s Chamber is a miniature version of the Throne Room, down to the fabric used for the Elders' seats.The seats are standing on what looks like a grandstand, one on each side of the room. Elder Jeff is sitting in a seat in the middle of the room, making everyone look down on him. Our seats are on a platform, facing the door and whoever is sitting in the defendant’s bench or whatever you want to call it.“Elders, before I explain what Elder Jeff is doing down there, I need to address another matter.” Uncle Vaughn says as he gets up. “With Dezra’s betrayal, I need to replace her as my Beta. It needs to

Dallas’ p.o.v. Joshua joins me and Aunt Eliza in the kitchen. I need to inform him about their task for Monday and hopefully, we can keep the Elders occupied for a long time.“I need you to split the Squad into two teams. No, make that three teams. One team to search the library here in the private wing, one to search the library downstairs and one to search the Elder wing.” I tell him as I look at the contents of the fridge.There is more than enough food in here and Aunt Eliza is pulling items from the pantry to increase the availability of food for cooking or baking.“They need to find anything that mentions the duties of the Elders, the power they hold within the Kingdom or how the Elders became a part of our Kingdom. Anything that mentions the Elders will do and they need to be ready to act on Monday morning.” I explain.“On it. Just let me know when the meeting is over.”

Dallas' p.o.v. After one more look at Elder Dawn, I sit down at the breakfast table and start talking to Grandpa about our weekend.I can feel her eyes burning into my back, but I ignore it for now. I want to enjoy my breakfast and a little quiet time before we meet with the Elders.Daxton and Darius will communicate to me through our mind-link what I need to know during the meeting and even Uncle Vaughn will inform me if there is something I need to do.I am surprised when Elder Jensen escorts us to the Throne room, but the moment we step inside, it becomes clear why we aren't having this meeting in the King's Chamber.“Every family member of every Elder is present. Not everyone is content with Mom taking over former Elder Jeff's duties.” Quinlan explains through the mind-link. “They will try to overwhelm you and hope to get you so distracted that you won't back up Dad.”

Guardian Quarters “Good morning.” Joshua says as he looks at his Squad and the soon-to-be former Guardians.“Guardians, you swore to protect the Royal family from any kind of harm. I assume that each of you would like a chance to prove that, even if the worst injury you can get is a paper cut.” Joshua says, earning him a few chuckles.He divides the men and women in front of him into three groups. The Guardian’s Captain gets appointed one, Jesper receives the second group and the last group is for Joshua himself.“Each team will search a different part of the Palace, while the Royal family is in a meeting with the Elders. They will try to buy us as much time as they can, but I want you to understand that your time will be limited.You will search your assigned location for anything that could expose the Elders as frauds. Take pictures of the places you find these files or documents,

Quinlan’s p.o.v. Dad is pissed off and that is putting it mildly. Mom is doing her best to calm him down, but Ershin is close to the surface, making it difficult for her.“Ershin, calm down. We will restore everything the Elders managed to change and those responsible will be punished.” I hear Mom whisper.Mom has her arms wrapped around his waist, her head placed against his chest. Dad buries his face in her neck and slowly but steadily, his aura diminishes. It takes a good ten minutes before Mom starts to pull back, an indication that Dad is capable of controlling his anger again.“Captain Vern found two hiding places on the top floor; one in Elder Dawn’s room and one in Elder Zane’s room. They were located at the back of the walk-in closet, but there was a difference. One was used regularly, the other hasn’t been used in ages.The documents from Elder Zane’s room have
