The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 248

Maya's POV:

A special interview was to be held after the soldiers' parade.

Glancing at my watch, I realized it was time for me to prepare Prince Rufus' clothes.

Only then did it occur to me that I still had his phone, so I fished it out of my pocket, intending to give it to him first.

The screen lit up and I inadvertently glanced at it. There were a lot of missed calls—all from Miss Todd. The phone had been muted, so I didn't even realize she had been calling.

Just then, the phone started to buzz again. I looked at Prince Rufus, who was surrounded by a bunch of werewolves—from senior officials to elders of the empire. I knew I couldn't disturb him now.

But the phone kept ringing incessantly. Miss Todd probably had something important to tell him. Why else would she have kept calling him despite knowing he was busy?

After thinking it over for a while, I finally answered the phone. "Hello, Miss Todd. I'm sorry but Prince Rufus can't come to the phone right now. This is Maya. How can I help?"

Miss Todd sounded pleasantly surprised to hear my voice. "Oh, hello, Maya! Are you with him right now?"

"Yes, I am. If you want me to pass a message to him, just tell me. I'll share it with Prince Rufus once he's done with his work," I offered.

"I'm glad you're with him. Now, listen to me carefully. Don't let Rufus take flowers from the flower child," Miss Todd said anxiously. There was a whistling sound from the other end of the line, as though she was running and the wind was whipping against her.

Stunned, I didn't understand what she meant at first. "But he already accepted the flowers, Miss Todd."

"Damn it!" she cursed suddenly.

In that moment, I realized that something was wrong. "Miss Todd, what happened?"

"Tell me where you are right now," Miss Todd said briskly, ignoring my question.

"We're standing near the statue in the center of the city." I broke into a cold sweat. "Are you coming here?"

"Yes, I'm on my way. I'll be there soon. Keep an eye on Rufus while waiting for me. Don't let him out of your sight, understand?"
