Chapter 1565: Escape



Annara had been lingering around and observing the Silvermane Palace for the last two weeks. Because of that, she knew the safest point was for them to get out. Utilizing her tiny familiars to scout the path ahead, she led the way as Emery and Morgana swiftly followed right behind.

When he realized they were heading out of the city, Emery couldn't help but ask the red-haired girl.

"Where are we going?"

Annara glanced at him before replying, "Well duh, of course we won't be returning to the residence." Knowing what he was thinking, she quickly added, "Don't worry about your pack. I have already sent them a message."

Emery nodded his head in understanding, but his question still remained unanswered. He didn't know where she was taking them out of the city. 

Annara explained that when the city was in chaos due to the rampage of the Primal Beasts, she took advantage of it by going to the airfield. There, she boarded her spaceship ready to leave. After she found that the beast was dealt with, she hid the ship in the dense forest on the outskirts of the city.

It appeared the only opportunity for Emery to leave the planet was now. They had to fly as soon as possible before the orbital station was alerted to their activity. Hearing such a well-prepared plan, Emery was once again impressed by the red-haired girl.

After they arrived at the place where Annara had hidden the spaceship, it wasn't long before Tatyana, Andrei and Yoro arrived as well.

"Chief, you really are safe…" 

"Where is Senior Beowlf!" Emery asked when he didn't see the old chief's figure with them.

"He's a little behind but he's coming."

While they were waiting for Beowulf to arrive, Annara quickly went into the spaceship and started up its engine to prepare for their departure.

Seeing the spaceship in front of his eyes, Yoro looked a little hesitant and nervous. After all, even though he had seen them before, he had never stepped inside, let alone boarded them to leave the Silvermane Planet.

Realizing this, Emery gathered his pack members and decided to say a few words to them.

"You are all my pack and we are one family. However, I do not wish to force you all to follow me." Staring at each and every one of them, especially the Silvermane natives, he continued, "The path I'm walking on will be a dangerous one. I really don't know when you will return to this planet if you decide to follow me. So I want you all to think carefully."

"I will follow you, brother." said Tatyana without hesitation. Andrei also said something similar right after. 

Nodding his head, Emery then turned his gaze to the Sandune Wolf. But just as Yoro was about to speak, an alarmed look appeared on Emery's face as he sensed two figures approaching quickly.

"We've been discovered!"

Emery was about to tell the others to enter the spaceship, but stopped in his tracks when he realized one of the people who was coming was a grand magus. They wouldn't be able to leave if the other party didn't let them, so he decided to confront the arrivals head-on.

To his surprise, the one who arrived was the late Alpha King's closest confidant, Warwick. However, what made Emery raise his eyebrows was that the person beside him was the old chief Beowulf.

Noticing Emery's expression, Beowulf immediately stepped in and explained, "The elder has informed me of the situation in the palace. I'm sorry, young friend. But you cannot just leave."

Emery sighed deeply at those words. He understood the old chief's way of thinking, so he wasn't really angry, just a tad disappointed. But still, he had absolutely no plan to stay and become the ruler of this planet.

Turning his gaze to Warwick, he calmly but firmly said, "You won't be able to keep me here forever!"

The old wolf sighed upon hearing that. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke.

"Is there really no other way to change your mind…? Whatever you need or want, we can make it happen."

Upon hearing that, Emery impassively said, "I have many needs, but even if you give them all to me, I still have no interest in becoming a Silvermane king."

While those words made Warwick even more dejected, the others who had just found out about the matter were completely shocked. At this moment, Chief Beowulf stepped in by saying, "Emery, please reconsider your decision. Think about all the good things you can do for the Wolf bloodline"

Turning to the old head, Emery shook his head as he said, "I'm sorry senior, I do care about my kin… but this is not my calling."

Beowulf turned silent at that reply. Meanwhile, Warwick looked at Emery and said, "Is that your final decision?"

Staring back at the old wolf, Emery resolutely said, "Yes it is!"

His answer made Warwick sigh before he said, "You are the King's first choice, but his will is clear. You shall become his successor only if you so desire."

Realizing what those words meant, Emery paid his respects to the old wolf. "Thank you for your understanding, Elder."

Nodding slightly, the grand magus accessed his storage ring and took out a wooden box before walking over to Emery. Opening it, Emery saw there were two items inside and he recognized one of them as the [Wolf Ancestor Blood]. 

As Warwick presented it to Emery, he said, "This is the reward for the Royal Hunt champion. Take it. You have earned this."

However, it also came with advice. "With the state your genes are in right now, I'm not sure this potion will be of much help. But I believe you will be able to find other uses for it."

Emery stared at the old wolf for a moment before nodding slightly and accepting the precious item. "Thank you, Elder."

The second item was a silver emblem with the symbol of Silvermane Wolf engraved on it. 

"This emblem represents my presence, the Right Hand of Silvermane. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need help, you just have to show this emblem to any Wolf outpost across the universe and they will definitely help you out."

It was indeed a useful item, hence Emery was sincerely grateful

Finally, the last part of the reward was the fact that a piece of land would be granted to his name, for him and his pack to use whenever he returned to the planet. With that, Warwick stared at Emery and patted his shoulders with a faint smile on his face.

"I hope you can find what you are looking for. Have a safe journey."

It wasn't just the old grand magus who said his farewell, the old chief Beowulf also did the same. He explained he had enough adventures and was not getting any younger. Nevertheless, the short time he spent training Emery and his pack rekindled his passion, leading him to want to become a mentor to the young people of Silvermane.

Emery nodded in understanding and bid farewell to the old chief, expressing his gratitude to the man for what he had done. 

Meanwhile, it seemed those words helped Yoro make his decision as he asked permission to stay at Silvermane, so he could help the old chief; something that Emery was very supportive of.

Emery, Morgana, Tatyana and Andrei; all four boarded the ship and left the Silvermane planet under the gaze of the three. When the spaceship was out of sight, the three of them turned around and walked back to the city.

Even though Emery turned down the will of the late Alpha King, the latter had actually prepared a second name in anticipation of this exact situation. One that was  no less shocking.

****

A few days after Emery and his pack left, the Silvermane City was enlivened with excitement as it held an important event that was witnessed by its hundreds of thousands of residents. 

The coronation of the new King of Silvermane, Tidus the Chain Breaker.

Under the cheers of people welcoming their new ruler, Tidus was seen walking onto the balcony with a stern gaze. 

It had actually been a difficult past few days for the Silvermane people, as most of the elites rejected and disapproved of the man because of his background. However, with the full support of the two royal advisors, Warwick and Talbot, as well as the support of the new Wolf Alliance leader Philips Corvin, the situation was quickly resolved.

Tidus looked up at the sky as he vowed in his heart to put his life on the line for the good of the people and his first objective towards that goal was to uproot slavery from the kingdom.

His coronation as the Silvermane King was going to change the shape of its kingdom.
