The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 278

Sylvia's POV:

Once everyone had gone, Flora and Warren headed up to the roof to meet me.

"Sylvia, what's going on? What happened to you and Prince Rufus?" Flora looked anxious. "The soldiers are searching all over the imperial city for you."

"Rufus is still in a coma. He's temporarily placed in a safe place somewhere outside the city." With a heavy heart, I bit my lip. "I know all the werewolves are talking about how crazy Rufus was and his murder. If the lycan king finds us, we'll be doomed."

"We did hear about the news and assumed the situation was serious. When we couldn't get in touch with you, we took to the streets to try our luck. I did not expect to hear your name come out of that stupid man's mouth when we arrived. Thankfully, we found you and followed you all the way here." Flora's face was dead serious. "Don't worry, Sylvia. We'll help you figure out the mastermind behind all of this."

We then heard sudden noises come from the other end of the alley. Immediately, the three of us became vigilant again and crouched down to hide ourselves.

Fortunately, it was just a random drunk woman. Relieved, I sighed and turned back to Flora and Warren. I briefly told them about the anonymous letter and what happened in the manor.

"Damn it! He is really a bastard!"

The anger on Flora's face became more evident as she cursed.

"Shh, keep your voice down." Warren shushed her. "We can't afford to attract any attention right now."

Flora's eyes widened in guilt as her hand shot up to her mouth. Still, she continued to complain, "That Richard. He's so inhumane!"

Heaving a deep sigh, I replied, "No matter how sure I am that Richard plotted all of it, I still don't have any conclusive evidence. For now, it would be foolish of me to accuse him of anything. I didn't even expect that Lucy would come to Richard's defense either."

"Now that Lucy can't be our witness, we'll just find another one," Warren suggested. "I don't think Richard's plan is perfect. There has to be some loophole somewhere."

"That's right." I nodded in agreement. "I was actually planning to start with the boy's corpse. Why was his family so anxious to cremate him? It seems fishy to me."

Warren was silent for a while and then replied, "Well, what if the boy really was a victim of Prince Rufus?"

"I don't believe it. I heard somewhere that the child died miserably and the bones in his legs all broke. Even if Rufus did lose control and kill someone, he would have never done it in such a cruel way." I looked at Flora and Warren with firmness. "If our investigation proves that Rufus really did kill the boy, then I will stand with

Rufus and take responsibility for his action with him."
