I remained seated on my chair, and the silence in my office was absolute.

Qusack did not say a word, and Abraham looked confused. I was just as confused as he was because I did not know what to do.

I looked at Qusack to give him immediate order so we could act.

Fedrick may have said one month, but he could strike anytime. I refuse to let him steal my birthright. I had never heard of this mistress or child, so I was highly suspicious of his intentions. Also, knowing how his relationship with my father was, I doubted he would have entrusted his son to the Snow King.

“Qusack, get me a pen and paper. I need to write a letter to the Hill king to carry on certain issues,” I said, and he leaned forward to ask me.

“Like what?” He said, and I knew he was only asking out of concern. I could not get mad about it. We have been friends for so long that I knew I could always trust him. “The Snow King is trying to say that I am a fraud. I was wondering if Gabriel, the traitor, could identify my mother as his former Queen. Maybe that would shut them up,” I said, and Abraham disagreed.

“Before I joined your pack, Alpha, I used to work in the legal library of scholars in Snow. I was cast out because I helped a nobleman remove a law account from the archives.

I am trying to tell you that I know how the committee works.

Gabriel’s account will not suffice. The reasons are that he is a werewolf.

According to the Unity Law, he has no right to speak. Let us say they choose to make an exception because of the circumstances; they could argue that his account is false. You are his master, and he is your slave. He could say anything you want him to say.

Let us now say they do not see it that way, and he indeed identifies your mother as Queen; they could argue that you found her in her feral state in the wild, recognised her, knew of the mutiny and decided to seize the opportunity to claim she is your mother.

Moreover, I have heard from the Halfbreeds in Snow that their parents told them the Queen was accused of having affairs. They do not know you are King Mathia’s son and your mother is Queen Isabelle. Due to the restricted access to the Queen, they haven’t seen her yet, but there are rumours that the Old King was so in love with his fated who passed away that he neglected his Queen, and she had to result to having flings. It is also in their records.

King Fedrick is malicious. He could argue that you are a bastard.” Abraham said and left me wondering because my options weren’t great.

“Where is the light in all of this, Abraham?” I asked him impatiently.

“The only way you can win against the Snow King is if your mother regains her sanity. No one would dare to tell her truth, and Fedrick would not have a choice but to accept whatever you say,” He said.
