The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 313

Alina's POV:

Now that Rufus was locked up in prison, everyone in the palace felt uneasy.

I had secretly sent people to investigate the situation, but to no avail.

I was hoping to glean any useful information about King Ethan from my father, but he didn't give me anything and even told me to mind my own business.

These days, King Ethan just sat still and did nothing. It was as though he didn't give a damn about his son who was behind bars. Even with Sylvia running around to save Rufus' life, things were looking bleak.

I soon realized that I had made a wrong bet. Maybe I shouldn't have placed all of my hopes on Rufus. That rogue prince was out of my control.

Even if he survived this ordeal, I had little hope that he would inherit the throne smoothly in the future. So I decided to give up.

After the parade, I wasn't in the mood to stay and watch the selection competition. I headed straight to the palace to pack up my things. I planned to go back home with my father.

Although I didn't have that much stuff, packing all my things was no trivial matter. The maids Queen Laura had assigned to me were sent away because I didn't like them. Coco would've been the one to do all these things for me, but without her here, I had no choice but to deal with them myself.

I gritted my teeth angrily as I surveyed my mess of a room. Not only had I gained nothing, I managed to lose my faithful maid who had been with me since childhood. I was so annoyed that I mindlessly stuffed my clothes into my luggage without rhyme or reason.

These days, for some reason, I felt so uneasy. My life here in the palace became stark. Perhaps my father was right. He had said that desire would only make people lost. I almost forgot who I really was and what I really wanted in the first place.
