Daniel POV

As I get back to the party I see Lyle and the kids eating and having fun with Marco and the others, just then the announcer speaks, "Presenting the dragon council!" The council members Walk into the party with incredible elegance and style, everyone is in awe of them.

Just then the emperor shows up and greets them, "I welcome the council to this banquet,"  Darren speaks with true elegance and style, I shivered at how husky and dominant his voice was, and judging from the look the ladies and even some of the omegas had, they felt the same.

"It is our honor to be here your majesty." The council members spoke as one as they bowed to Darren, then after they arrived they all went their separate ways and tyron came to talk to me.

"I'm hoping you are having a good time?" He asks as he approaches me, "In all honesty I'm not, and Darren is about to announce something that once you hear you'll be shocked but know that I did it for a good cause." I say, he looks at me questionably, just then Darren came up to the stairs and everyone looks towards him, I already know what he's going to say but I'm still nervous, "Today I have discovered something that will not be tolerated, I have discovered that there has been abuse in a mating pair." Everyone gasps, and rightly so, abuse towards a mate is deeply frowned upon, by all supernatural species, to the point it's almost forbidden.

"The victims of this disgusting act are the new clan leaders of Ardor, Frost, Asear, Falen, Vallen, and Inter.
Now some may know of these clan leaders as the husbands and sons of the clan leaders who fell by my hand, and I deeply apologize for what has happened.

And to the perpetrators of this vile act, I'm ashamed to admit that they are members of my own personal guard," Everyone was shocked and appalled and the guards started shifting uncomfortably as everyone looked at them with wary eyes, "And I have also recently discovered that the first empress, Alice Magus Stoneright was aware of the abuse being dealt but said nothing about it to me," Again everyone was so shocked, even the dragon council members were looking at the first empress with looks of disgust.

"Though there's nothing that can change the past but I will be changing the future, by dragon law in the event of abuse the mating can be broken but if the victim is a clan leader they must hand over the title to another, but if they are a household member of a royal then they keep their tilte and shall serve as the royal to whom they serves, counsel. And since I regrettably already have the maximum number of council I cannot take them on, and neither can any of the other empresses," Everyone looked down, but the first empress and the guards looked smug at this news and I seriously just wanted to punch them,

"But luckily there is one empress who has not announced his council members yet, everyone please bow to your fourth and final empress, Daniel Gemson." Everyone gasped and just stared at me, but I held my head high and stood up and went to Darren, looking down at everyone from the stairs, but that was when I saw them, the ones who made my life a living hell, my family and ex sister in law along with her new husband, the man who raped me and unknowingly got me pregnant.

The rage on their faces somehow made me smile as the people who tore me down now look up to see me as the fourth and final empress.
