Addison hadn't realized the potential of her words, nor had she considered this larger strategy. Yet as she listened, a flicker of admiration sparked in her eyes as she looked at her father. Despite her not suggesting the full plan, the Alpha King felt nothing but pride. Her foresight had been the catalyst—and that was enough.
He was truly pleased with the outcome. The more he brought Addison to court meetings, the more she would grow. Her perspective would sharpen, her understanding deepen, and soon, her ability to lead would flourish.
This upcoming conference wouldn't just be a turning point for the kingdom—it would be a defining moment for Addison. A chance for her to learn, to shine, and to begin stepping into the role that awaited her. And that, more than any speech or plan, was the Alpha King's true intention all along.
