Adelaide cleared her throat and said, “Let’s coordinate our efforts. | need to know which tasks require the Capital
Guard's cooperation so | can assign personnel accordingly.”
“Alright, Dennis, you could discuss the specifics with Ellen,” Lance said. “I'll brief Gamma Adelaide on the case
progress.”
“Got it,” Dennis responded.
After Dennis and Ellen left, Lance had everyone else excuse themselves, leaving the couple alone.
Lance pulled Adelaide in front of him, gently massaging her bruised eye socket, and asked with concern, “Does it
hurt?”
“A little,” Adelaide said, pulling his hand away and glancing toward the door, wary of eavesdroppers.
“Don’t worry, no one will interrupt us. How did this happen?” Lance pressed, his face etched with concern.
Adelaide finally relaxed, sitting down and rubbing her eye socket herself.
It had indeed swollen more than this morning.
“It’s all Avery's fault! He barged in while Paisley and | were sparring, and both of us got caught in the crossfire,”
she complained.
“I'll dock his pay,” Lance said, his voice tinged with both concern and amusement.
Avery was usually level-headed, but around Paisley and Adelaide, his old rambunctious Shadow-Peak days
resurfaced.
Adelaide chuckled, “Docking his pay would be worse than a punishment. Money's trivial, but if Georgina finds out
and informs his mentor, leading to additional penalties, he'll be in real trouble.”

“We'll just threaten him. No real docking,” Lance said, aware of their close bond.
Their friendship, forged in youth, was rare and precious.

“By the way, there's something important,” Adelaide said, her expression turning serious.
“Lycan Erasmus wantsto recommend Ulrik as the captain of the Lycan King’s personal werewolf guard, with
an official appointment letter.”
Lance wasn't surprised. “He’s been wanting to use Ulrik. Previously, Ulrik had no standout achievements for
promotion, but now that he’s contributed, it's a perfect opportunity. Besides, the Lycan King’s personal guard,
though technically under the Ironthorn Army, is actually beyond your control, answering only to Lycan Erasmus.
This is just a transitional move.”
“Right, and soon they'll becan independent entity,” Adelaide added.
“The Royal Guard originally had twelve departments, including the Lycan King’s personal werewolf guard. Lycan
Erasmus’s decision to separate it is clearly to cultivate a core of loyalists. Ulrik’s the best choice-he has a past
with you, and the Blood Moon Pack’s resentment toward you has reached the southern border. Using him will
check your power,” Lance analyzed.
Adelaide's face darkened with indignation. “Speople are so odd-blothers for their own mistakes.”
“Otherwise, what do you think people mean when they talk about ruffians?” Lance remarked.
Gently massaging her eye socket, Lance’s palm gradually warmed. “But having you recommend Ulrik-word will
spread and sound unsavory. If you hear gossip, just shake it off. Let those rumors fall on deaf ears.”
“I don’t mind, but | was worried you would. If you don’t care, neither do I,” Adelaide said, closing her injured eye
as Lance continued to rub it, her other eye fixed on him.
Lance couldn't resist leaning in for a kiss.
Adelaide startationally jumped back. “Don’t-what if someone sees?”
“No one will,” Lance said, amused by her stern, official demeanor.
He chuckled, “Alright, I'll behave. Did Lycan Erasmus say anything else?”
He returned to his seat as Adelaide updated him on Lycan Erasmus’s orders.
Adelaide replied, “Lycan Erasmus said that the families of officials closely linked to Madison’s manor must be
probed and interrogated. If they're certified nobility, I'm to oversee their questioning myself.”
“Hmm, this will implicate many. Brace yourself-most interrogations will likely yield nothing,
