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.

had allowed themselves to become complacent in their duties.

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.

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
