Anthony’s POV:
At five fifteen in the afternoon, Jennifer and I went to the prison to personally release Austin and Caroline.
Escorted by guards, Austin and Caroline followed us out of the prison in silence.
“Is everything ready?” Jennifer turned to me.
“My men have prepared a plane to fly them to the deserted island on the border.There, the guards can keep watch through satellite imagery.Unmanned aerial vehicles will
drop supplies onto the island on a weekly basis,” I replied as we walked.
The truth was, Austin and Caroline didn’t deserve those supplies, given the gravity of their crimes.
We had originally sentenced them to a life of exile on the deserted island, where they were to fend for themselves.
However, now that they had shown deep regret for their actions, both my mother and I couldn’t bear to give them such a harsh punishment.
My mother and I had held lengthy discussions on numerous occasions before finally deciding to send them supplies on a regular basis.
When we made it out of the prison, we found my mother outside waiting for us, along with Dana and Gary.
Before Austin and Caroline could leave for the island, there was one more thing Austin needed to do.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had to apologize to our deceased father in front of all the kingdom’s subjects.
“Well done, Anthony.This chapter of our lives is finally coming to a close.”
My mother sighed and patted me on the shoulder encouragingly.
Soon, Austin and Caroline were handcuffed and the guards led them to the capital square.
A crowd had already gathered there, waiting.
When Austin was in sight, they immediately burst into curses.
Despite this, Austin didn’t show any resentment on his face.He simply knelt down in the center of the square and repented in front of them.
“I have committed unforgivable crimes.I killed the former king.I deserve to die.Alas, I will spend the rest of my life repenting!”
Austin shouted loudly for everyone to hear.
“He killed our king!”
“Damn him! He doesn’t deserve forgiveness!”
As soon as Austin finished speaking, the members of the kingdom began to scold him fiercely.
“Our late king would have been relieved to see this, I think.”
Dana, who was standing beside me, sighed heavily.
Gary also sighed and drew a cross on his chest with his fingers, offering a prayer for my father.
When everyone was here, we all piled into the car and headed back to the Black Stone House.
“Thank you for coming to help.I really don’t know how to thank you.If I knew what to do, I wouldn’t have bothered you.”
Sitting in the car, I couldn’t help but express my gratitude to Skylar, Jerome, and Simon over and over again.
“Don’t say that, Daniel.What are friends for? We couldn’t just sit and watch you guys get into trouble.Plus, as the Alpha of the Rainbow Pack, it’s my duty to attend the funeral
of the Black Stone Pack’s late Alpha.”
Jerome patted me on the shoulder.
“Daniel, I’m sorry for your loss.”
“I’m sorry, Elder Simon.This is all my fault.I failed to protect Helen!” I said guiltily, averting my gaze.
“It’s not your fault, Daniel.I know you tried your best.Someone must have plotted this meticulously.I want to see Helen as soon as we get to the Black Stone House.”
Simon shook his head and sighed.
“Daniel, we all know that you truly love Helen.Don’t be sad.We’ll figure out a solution together!”

Skylar chimed in encouragingly.
“Thank you so much.”
I tried to be strong for them and for Helen.
“I need to cheer up.Helen needs me.”
Taking a deep breath, I told them the whole story, from the beginning.
“I had grown up with a girl named Mandy.But ever since I got together with Helen, she has been acting strange.She kept asking me to leave Helen and be with her.Of course, I
didn’t agree.So she was always against Helen.But suddenly, her attitude changed and she tried to make friends with Helen.Because Helen is such a kind and trusting girl, she
didn’t suspect Mandy and accepted a gift from her—a bottle of perfume.A few days later, my father suddenly died.The doctor declared that his death was caused by Helen’s
perfume.Now, Mandy refuses to admit that she was the one who gifted it to Helen.We don’t have any evidence to prove otherwise, so now both girls are in prison until we
prove who the real murderer is.”
I told them everything in one breath.
Thinking about my father’s death and the situation Helen was in, my heart ached painfully.
“Oh, my God! How on earth did it come to this?”
Skylar was so sad that she burst into tears.She buried her face in Jerome’s arms and cried.
