“Yes.” I wanted to cry, but I held it in. “I need permission to…
“To what? And how old are you?”

And you want this permission to figure out if this random she–wolf has used magic on your father, who has magic of his own, to control him and take over his pack. And this magic may have caused him to lose control enough to kill his own pup. Is that the gist of it?”
“Yes, pretty much.” My voice felt more exhausted than it should have . “I know it’s a long shot-”
“Permission granted.” His voice cut me off.
“But I need to save my dad. Wait what? Don’t you need to present it to the king?”
“I am the king.”
