At dawn, Hugo and the mad wolf pack finally returned to the palace. A few important individuals of the empire, including Daniel, Cora, Garrett, Tomas, Percival, Silas, and Alice, welcomed him back to the palace. Their eyes landed on their brother's towering figure with his cape draped over his right shoulder.
"Ah... that bloodthirst," Cora mumbled as she scanned Hugo's figure from head to toe. His brother was covered with blood and his red eyes were glowing under the light of the half-moon. Just the sight of him sent this chill down her spine — something she wouldn't get used to.
"Did he kill the prince?" Alice wondered while rubbing her chin, glancing at Daniel. They were all in here to welcome Hugo as people with official positions in the empire. They heard about this unofficial meeting of Hugo and the fourth prince of the Hendrik Empire.
