Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

I carefully observed Captain Frank on the mountain, and as expected, I couldn’t find any flaws.

If I had to say, if this demon didn’t want to work for satan in the future, he could disguise himself and go to human society to be an ‘AI Engineer’ or something. It was said that the other side was very interested in creating lifelike mechanical lives. With this demon’s ‘human-making’ skills, he could make a name for himself.

I had sent the other Frank back to the pack. Since I couldn’t guarantee the authenticity of this person, it was difficult for me to contact my parents. As the overall person in charge of the team, all external communications had to go through Frank. This meant that he had control of the official communication channel.

I couldn’t establish a mind link with my parents, so I could only communicate through Master Mary’s private communication with the royal family.

But I couldn’t be with Master Mary all the time. Since I came to the ruins of the witch clan, I’d mostly been with Dorothy and Aldrich. It was too conspicuous to get close to Master Mary suddenly. Moreover, as the head of the werewolf grandmaster team, it was inevitable that Master Mary would form the team’s core with Frank, which meant that they often acted together.

It was not until dinner time that I had the chance to receive news from the palace.

Hiding in an obscure corner, Master Mary said, “His Majesty has left him in the palace in the name of recuperation. The royal guards are closely monitoring him. However, from the looks of it, there was no sign of suspicion or anxiety on Frank’s face. He seemed to be enjoying his luxurious life. However, he occasionally showed concern for the Rocky Mountains situation. Out of caution, His Majesty did not completely hide it from him, hoping to use this as bait to see if he would give himself away.”

“Did you check his identity?”

“We’ve used almost all the existing methods, and the results show he has no problem. The rest of the results had to wait, but the possibility of a negative conclusion was very small from the current conclusions. At least from the data, the one in the palace is real.”

Could the suspicions Aldrich and I had been all groundless? The one on the mountain, Frank, was the fake?

“It would be great if we could check this one as well. That way, we can confirm their identity. If the one on the mountain is a fake, then we don’t have to make wild guesses.”

“What if both of them are real?” Dorothy asked.

“... that means that even the examination cannot be trusted.”

But if even the inspection couldn’t be trusted, what else could we believe?

“I can use the Eye of Insight to take a look.” Dorothy suggested, “It’s just one person. It’s simple. There won’t be any harm.”

“No!” I immediately refused. Master Mary and the others also disagreed.

“From a medical point of view, you’re completely blind,” Master Mary persuaded her. “You can see now because of the subtle power of the Eye of Insight. Previously, when I engraved the mark on you, on the one hand, it was to restrain the curse. On the other hand, it was to suppress the power of the Eye of Insight so that it would lose its balance as soon as possible. Once you activate the Eye of Insight, no one knows if the balance will be broken. The consequences of peeking into a person’s life are unpredictable.”

With our firm rejection, Dorothy gave up on this idea.

“I’m just saying, don’t be so serious....”

She was a little depressed, but this was related to her health and life. No matter what we said, we couldn’t go along with her wishes.

Today, one of the teams responsible for exploring the periphery returned especially late. It was so late that they only returned when we were ready to send people to search.

The leader of the small team was called Eve. She had a serious expression and quickly reported to Frank without even taking a sip of water.

“We’ve found traces of humans near the middle of the peak ten kilometers away. From the flags they’re flying, we’ve met the group of human religious members before.”

Humans?

It was nothing new for humans to appear in the Rocky Mountains. After all, the ski resorts, resort hotels, and other tourist facilities here were all built by humans. However, the ruins of the witch clan were a ‘remote place’. Usually, no one would come to this place where the natural environment was too harsh for them, let alone humans.

Were they going to build a church in the place where the legendary witches and demons lived? Even a real angel wouldn’t have such a strong business ability.

I secretly told myself a cold joke, but I couldn’t laugh at all.

In the new era, whether one wanted to admit it or not, one had to face a fact: Just as they said, humans had become the undeniable overlords of this planet. Perhaps their influence in the sea was still slightly weak, but no race could compete with humans on the vast continent.

Even if they didn’t have solid bodies or sharp claws and didn’t know all kinds of strange witchcraft or supernatural powers, they could occupy this world and make other races avoid them.

Going up against humans was the worst situation apart from the demons breaking the seal. They were uncontrollable factors, and no one knew what kind of influence they would bring.
