Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

652 Innocent

Yarin's POV:

Today was a special day.

The murderer who killed Kara, a driver who once belonged to the royal security team, was about to be tried secretly.

Heller and I would testify as victims.

According to the driver, he had never been in contact with the Lily of the Valley or any underground organization. "I thought I was controlled by evil witchcraft," he explained."In fact, I didn't have any memories of that incident. When I woke up, I was already detained in the hospital."

The investigation results of the werewolf grandmasters also proved that he was not lying. This was just a poor man the Lily of the Valley chose to be a scapegoat. Ultimately, the court found him not guilty, and the Royal Family only punished him by firing him for serious dereliction of duty.

Heller held my hand tightly until the result of the judgment came out.

"Hey, are you okay?" I whispered.

"I'm fine," he muttered softly.

I couldn't help but hold his cold hand tightly. I knew that he wasn't disappointed by the verdict. We all knew that the driver was innocent.

It was just that after hearing the acquittal, we were all at a loss. Since he should not be responsible for the tragedy, when would the real murderer stand in court?

As the investigation deepened, we caught many people related to the Moonlight Festival incident and the car accident. However, they were not the core, just some low-level minions.

However, even if these minions could not be easily brought to court as the dispute between the humans and us had not ended, both sides wanted to occupy an advantageous position. Still, they could not bring themselves to shed all pretense of cordiality. The profits and benefits brought by trade were something that no one could give up.

After the secret trial ended, my parents personally sent us back to the sanatorium. They should have talked about business affairs in front of Heller and me. Therefore, I knew that the situation of werewolves was not good.

For some reason, the conflict between the Jasperian government and us has suddenly spread to other countries. More and more human countries were pressuring the werewolves to extradite the criminals from the Lily of the Valley immediately.

The elves did not want to be outdone. After my mom ignored them many times, they finally sent a diplomatic envoy to the werewolf pack to hold us accountable.

Personally reprimanding us, ha, how scary.

We were curious to know if these envoys would unite against the outside world after they arrived or if they would fight first. After almost ten years of chaotic warfare, even siblings of the same mother would become sworn enemies.

However, this was still very tricky. After all, we couldn't just kick out unwelcome guests.

My mom felt that the spread of the situation was really strange. Jasper had always been quiet, and it was obvious that they did not want to get involved in this mess. If this were blown up, it would only make it even harder for them to get off the stage.

Could they be deliberately spreading conflict?

If not, who was the one who caused all of this?

When my parents were discussing, Heller suddenly asked, "Will we send them back?"

"What?"

"... Will we send the criminal back to Jasper?" His big almond eyes were filled with stubbornness.

My mom's eyes softened as she hugged Heller and said gently, "Don't worry, child. I will never betray the dignity of the werewolves. The perpetrator would suffer the wrath and punishment of the Moon Goddess, and no one can change that."

Heller buried his head in my mom's bosom as he nodded with a muffled look.

The sanatorium was very comfortable, but it was also very boring. The peacocks and swans were unwilling to pay attention to us. Only when Lily came our daily life became a little more interesting.

Of course, she didn't go with us to the trial because the Silver Moon Pack was there too. After learning that the driver was acquitted, she comforted us and said, "I'm very sorry about that."

"No, it's okay. We know he's not the real murderer." I shook my head and whispered.

I didn't know why, but I could still maintain my rationality in court, but when I came to Lily, I felt extremely sad.

Of course, I knew who was innocent, but I couldn't take it lying down. I couldn't suppress the thought of blaming the driver. I even thought he was lying. Why was he the one who was controlled?

Was it true that he said he didn't remember anything? Perhaps he colluded with the Lily of the Valley and used some method to deceive the werewolf grandmasters?

But at the same time, I knew that my anger was very unreasonable. I was even glad that the driver was fired. Otherwise, I didn't dare to think about whether I would take revenge on him in the future.

This dark thought made me reluctant and in deeper pain. I didn't dare reveal it, so I told Lily, "This has already ended. At least the innocence of the innocent has been cleared. Let's not talk about this. How are you feeling today? It's indeed a little boring here, isn't it?"

Lily was still looking at me worriedly. She didn't even try to hide her 'I can see through your disguise' look. I lowered my head in embarrassment and pretended that everything was fine.

In the end, Lily said nothing.

We had lunch together in silence, and no one brough it up again.
