The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 338

Rufus' POV:

Richard had completely lost control and broke out cursing. "You are all traitors! You ingrates! After every nice thing I've done, you go and betray me when I need you most!"

Even I myself was slightly surprised at this and did not expect Richard's own soldiers to side with us. I turned to Blair. I thought he had arranged it, but he shook his head and seemed to know nothing about this either.

Richard's soldiers ignored him and continued to confess to the crimes Richard had done.

"We followed Prince Richard into the forbidden forest. His plan was to kill Prince Rufus along with his men. But later, the mudflow came down and injured all of us. Prince Richard didn't even look back at us and ran away without a care." "No, I never wanted to leave you behind! But you must understand, I had to protect myself! I almost died in that forest too." Richard interrupted them and tried to make up an excuse.

Whether or not Richard was telling the truth was beyond me at this point. I was just eager for Richard to get his punishment. He had killed so many people because of his stupid ambition. He must pay the price of his actions.

"So, you are admitting to following Richard's plan in the forbidden forest? Think carefully of the answer you will give me. Attempting to kill the prince is a capital crime." With his hands clasped behind his back, my father sharply looked at the soldiers.

The head of the group heaved a deep sigh and gathered his courage. "Yes, Your Majesty. We admit to this. If Miss Todd hadn't sent the wild wolves to rescue us, we would already be dead right now. Facing death again is nothing new to us anymore. Our only wish now is that the future of this nation will not fall into the hands of a leader like Prince Richard."

My father turned to Richard and scoffed. "Is there anything else you have to say for yourself?"

Now that Richard's own confidant turned against him, Richard had no excuses left. Lowering his head, he said, "I'm sorry, father. This is all my fault. I should have never done those things. I shouldn't have buried bombs, knowing that it would kill innocent people."

At this point, my father's anger overwhelmed him so much that he trembled and staggered backwards. Immediately, my mother got up behind him and helped steady his footing.

"Ethan, calm down. The doctor already said that you must avoid extreme emotions."

My father pushed her away and walked over to Richard, kicking him in the stomach. "You bastard! Do you have any idea how many people you've killed? I cannot imagine that I raised such a heartless person like you!"

Richard was at a loss. He tried to get up awkwardly. "Father, please listen to me. This is all Rufus' fault! If he hadn't suppressed me in every way all my life, I wouldn't have turned out like this!"

Richard was spouting nonsense. Ever since the beginning, it had been Richard who always plotted for my demise. I never took it personally. I never even fought back by playing tricks on him.
