The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 231

Rufus' POV:

After leaving my mother's palace, I went directly to a meeting.

But at noon, I made time to go to the army to see Blair. He had no classes in the afternoon, so he planned to lead the soldiers in their afternoon training.

"Looking at your unhappy face, I can say that things didn't go well. Am I right?" Blair hit the nail on the head. He then walked to the fridge, took out two cans of beer, and handed one to me. "Tell me what happened."

I pinched my glabella wearily and said, "Someone has served as scapegoat."

Blair clicked his tongue. "Tsk. I knew it. Her maid, right?"

"Yeah." As I answered, I opened the can of beer and clinked cans with him. "That maid has been with her since she was a child. And my mother executed that maid."

"It must be hard on Alina." Blair sighed, took a sip of his beer, and added, "Didn't she plead for mercy?"

"Of course, she wouldn't dare!" I said sarcastically. "She even played along with my mother." "Your mother is so clever. Didn't she see through Alina's trick?" Blair seemed a little shocked. "I thought Alina and her maid would be punished together."

"I don't know if my mother saw through her or not." I put down the beer, took out a cigarette, and played with my lighter. "But I have to find a reason to send Alina out of the palace. Judging from my mother's attitude, I think she intends to keep Alina here."

"You know what? I'm really curious. What has your mother seen in Alina that she likes Alina so much? The first time I saw Alina, I already felt that she was a scheming she-wolf. Is it because she is so obedient to your mother that your mother likes her? But she's just pretending." Blair looked puzzled.
