Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

263 Today Is The Same

Selma Payne’s POV:

There were only a few important things to do. The rest were more daily.

Mara became the new president of the opera club. Although she did not have Ryan’s creative talent, she surprisingly knew how to arrange things. Sometimes, a president who could appreciate their members could make them shine more. The opera club had shown its brilliance in the past three years and successfully stepped onto the stage in the Midnight Opera House.

During her university days, Avril joined the reserve team of the guards for a year, and after her glorious retirement, she continued her studies, maintaining her position as one of the top ten students in the school. No one mentioned the gossip of the past anymore. Now, she was dazzling enough to be herself and not the female lead of some rumors.

The southern Duke and Carolyn never came to the Lycan pack again. I could tell from his contact with my father that he and his daughter were doing well. Carolyn was nineteen years old and was currently choosing the university she was interested in.

The southern Duke had chosen many southern and famous universities for her as options, but Carolyn didn’t really like them. It was said that she preferred the luxurious and modern environment of the Lycan pack. She even wanted to visit human society.

Adele was imprisoned in the manor like an invisible person and did not make any extreme moves. The southern Duke had never visited her. He only had a video call with her on time every week. The father and daughter pair did not speak. They spent visiting hours in silence, and the southern Duke hung up the video call with a heavy heart.

After becoming my kin, the werewolf grandmasters did not lose their magic power, just like Dorothy. They tirelessly studied the materials they brought back from the witch clan and published papers that could make students who took the history of sorcery cry in despair.

Yuri was confirmed dead, and the priest took his life away on the spot during the sacrificial ritual known as the Carnival. I didn’t have the time to distinguish everyone’s face when I resurrected my dead comrades, but I didn’t know why Yuri was automatically excluded. Perhaps it was because he was no longer my comrade when he betrayed us.

Ryan was sentenced to thirty years in prison for summoning demons without permission. His parents seemed eager to get rid of their son and hurriedly moved to another pack with their other children. Of course, his father had already confirmed that they had nothing to do with the demon-summoning incident.

In short, everything was normal.

The carriage stopped in front of the palace. Looking at the magnificent gates, I couldn’t help but sigh at the unpredictable fate. You never know whether tomorrow or an accident comes first.

When I first set off for the Rocky Mountains, I thought the worst-case scenario would be that I would return empty-handed and die. Who knew that things would turn out so dramatic? I died, came back to life, and then I was half-dead. This dangerous journey could be summarized into these three states.

The planned six-month journey was extended to three years.

It had been three years. Although things were not the same, the people were not.

My parents held a family dinner to welcome me, and Aldrich and Dorothy were also there.

At night.

Returning to the room that had been empty for a long time, I was in a daze for a moment. I kept feeling that every familiar detail was a little strange. The room’s decorations were the same as the day I left, but every place was spotless. Kara must have taken good care of this place.

“Homesick?” Aldrich teased me.

I shrugged and strode into the room.

Since the graduation exam was over, I didn’t need to forge proof of my results, so I spent another three days completing my final exam. As for my graduation thesis, I planned to help Dorothy and the werewolf grandmasters decipher the relics of the ancient witches. Rather than making up a nonsensical thesis, practical application was more suitable for me.

The graduation ceremony would be held a day before the graduation ball, meaning I had two months of free time before officially graduating. I emphasized ‘free time’ because my father intended to disclose my identity after graduating and then officially allow me to participate in social and political discussions.

“Isn’t this a little too sudden?” I was a little surprised. “It’s okay to disclose my identity, but I have no experience in political affairs.”

My father said, “I had no experience at the beginning. If you don’t start, you’ll never have any experience. Don’t worry. Your mother and I will help you.”

“But what about the elders? The royal family suddenly has a princess who disappeared more than twenty years ago. Those old farts will not let this go.” I was still worried. “Although I’d always felt that the elders could guess my identity, that didn’t stop them from setting me up.”

“That’s right. Some of them have already guessed your identity. Some are overjoyed, while others are gnashing their teeth in anger.” My father confirmed my suspicion. “But this doesn’t stop me from doing anything. even if your identity isn’t made public, they’ve done many things to me. I can guess what they’re up to with my eyes closed. Besides, the royalists will help suppress the opposition.”

Fine then.

To be honest, I wasn’t that anxious. Perhaps it was because my fear threshold had been raised too high by Azazel. I didn’t feel anything other than fear they would deliberately fall and blackmail me when I faced the group of wrinkled and trembling elders.
