With a resigned sigh, I got up and followed the guard through the dimly lit corridors of the Palace.When we finally reached the grand hall, I was met with the stern gazes of all the elders gathered there. A small vial containing a truth serum was placed before me, and Alpha Axel spoke up. "Drink this. If you refuse, it will be taken as a sign of guilt," he declared, his voice firm.I hesitated for a moment, weighing my options. But deep down, I knew there was no way out of thi

"What are we going to do about it, then?"Just as I opened my mouth to reply, a maid entered the room and interrupted our conversation.
