Master Kevin didn’t believe that his lover would ‘commit suicide to escape punishment’, and I didn’t believe it either, even if I didn’t know Layla at all. But I trusted my father. If Layla were really a fragile person, my father would never have given her such an important task as the captain.

Obviously, there were other reasons for Layla’s death, and it was very likely that the Evaria Family had done it.

“Yes, I also investigated this back then,” my father said helplessly. “But there was too little evidence. I thought that Layla would be completely safe under the royal family’s protection, but the other party also took advantage of this. So everyone related to Layla’s death is our people. We can’t investigate it rashly, let alone suspect it.”

“Did you find any reliable evidence back then?” I asked.

Arkadius answered me, “I was responsible for this case back then. At that time, I had not entered the presbytery and worked as a criminal investigator at the police station. However, all evidence shows that the Evaria Family did not seem to be involved in it. To a certain effect, what we suspected back then was another family.”

“Which?”

“The Woof Anka Family.”

Who was that?

I was confused for a moment before I realized that this family was an old acquaintance of ours.

The previous elder, Eric, was from this family. At my wedding, a young man from this family was quite rude.

At one point, the Woof Anka Family had been glorious, and they had once become an existence like the Evaria Family today. However, this family did not rely on a leader who was a Duke and the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences, nor did it rely on the illegitimate son of the royal family hidden in the corner of the mansion. Instead, it relied on the endless stream of talents like a goddess’s wisdom.

The Woof Anka Family was at its peak in my grandfather’s generation. There were officials from the family in every department. The number of elders with the surname Woof Anka in the Council of Elders couldn’t be counted on one hand. Countless medical scientists, architects, and werewolf grandmasters also came from this family.

Intelligence and loyalty were synonymous with the Woof Anka Family.

However, perhaps due to the decline of the family, or perhaps due to some kind of ‘regression theory’, the family inevitably declined in the later years of my grandfather’s reign. The quality of the next generation fell like a cliff, and no one could take over the baton of this huge family. Originally, the Woof Anka Family still had time to change the face of the next generation, but war came to them at this time.

The talented seniors had no choice but to temporarily hide their descendants in the air-raid shelter and rush to the battlefield to shed their blood.

After the previous generation retired and sacrificed themselves, there was a huge vacuum within the Woof Anka Family, and internal strife began for the position of power.

Just like that, when my father was in power, the Woof Anka Family declined rapidly. Eric was the last person with high authority in the family in recent years.

“Captain Layla was placed in a hidden manor to recuperate,” Arkadius continued. “The Alpha in this manor happened to be in-laws of the Woof Anka Family. This Alpha confessed that the Woof Anka Family had asked him to place his family’s people in the manor, but he refused.”

“That’s all?”

“Yes, that’s all.” Arkadius laughed bitterly. “This is why we can only suspect the Woof Anka Family. Although I don’t think the Woof Anka Family will give up their plans just because of the rejection of a small local Alpha, but in the follow-up investigation, all the people in the manor have a background of the royal family, and there is insufficient evidence to prove that anyone has been bought over by the Woof Anka Family.

“And there’s no motive for the crime. Captain Layla was a noble person. She doesn’t have much contact with the rich and powerful. She has no enmity with the Woof Anka Family. What reason does the Woof Anka Family have to harm her?”

Woof Anca...

Indeed, they had no reason to get rid of Layla.

Did we really wrong the wrong person? The Woof Anka Family didn’t do anything back then? But why did they plant people in the manor? This didn’t make any sense at all!

If they really didn’t have any plans, they would have stayed as far away as possible to avoid suspicion since they knew that Layla was recuperating in the manor, and she was that pack’s in-law.

This was put on hold for the time being. There were other more important matters to be discussed in today’s meeting.

The Evaria Family finally could not sit still. Their unborn ‘master’ had disappeared without a trace, and they were suddenly in a mess. After many days of fruitless search, they finally began to probe the palace.

Some of the Evaria Family’s officials began to secretly do things that were outwardly obedient but inwardly disobeying, with the Foreign Trade Department being the most obvious.

They used some excuses to detain a few foreign trade goods and used ‘random checks’ as an excuse to carry out indefinite inspections, causing the Lycan pack and other well-known companies to be in a lot of trouble.
