The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 227

Rufus' POV:

We chatted for a little while longer. Then Sylvia needed to go to class, so we reluctantly got off the phone.

I headed out of the study to attend a meeting. Just then, Maya approached me to report the latest finding.

"Miss Quinn is in the queen's place right now."

As she spoke, I took my suit jacket from an attendant. "I suppose now's a good opportunity to show my mother just what kind of she-wolf the girl she likes is."

"Prince Rufus, please bear in mind that you have a meeting later," the attendant reminded me.

"Postpone it," I said flatly.

"Okay."

On the way to my mother's place, I ran into my father and Richard.

"Father!" I greeted him. I was planning to leave after saying hello, but to my surprise, Richard stopped me.

"Where are you going in such a hurry, dear brother?" Richard asked, smiling warmly at me.

He always pretended that we were close whenever my father was present.

"To Mother's. Care to join me?" I asked dryly.

Richard's expression changed subtly. "No, it's okay. I have something to deal with at school. I'll visit Mother some other day."

I sneered and didn't say anything more. He had always been at odds with Laura, so I knew he wouldn't go see her. At most, he would simply pretend to be a dutiful son in front of our father. "But Rufus, your favorite slave is really something. I wonder if Mother knows that. You went out of your way to send her to the school for training, but your effort was in vain. She hooked up with another man there," Richard added snidely. And he emphasized the word "slave" on purpose.
