Chapter 190 The Rogue Problem

Gasps of horror could be heard from around the room as they conferred amongst

themselves whilst Cornelius stood, isolated and speechless in the face of such a

verbal assault.

It was glaringly obvious that not a single person here had challenged her father and

had allowed themselves to become complacent in their duties.

“I am waiting for you to make me understand, Cornelius,” Ann growled, her eyes

flashing a dangerous gold as the realization set in amongst the Elders that Ann was

looking for someone to blame for this colossal tragedy.

When Cornelius didn’t reply, instead looking around himself for support from his

colleagues, and finding none, he bowed his head in shame.

Ann stood slowly, approaching Cornelius with fury radiating from her and he knew

instantly that his former attitude towards her was entirely misplaced.

The raw strength and power that rolled off her so effortlessly meant that she was a

formidable foe, and with her consort at her side, this was not a wise enemy to have

made, despite his misgivings about a female holding the title.

“Make me understand Cornelius.” She hissed menacingly as she stopped,

centimeters from his face, “I am to hold diplomatic talks with an honored guest who

has come to us with concerns about the rogue population that harries our borders and

kills our people, yet I find that not a single person among you has lifted a finger to

help.”
