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.

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.

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,

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
