The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 351

Rufus' POV:

For a split second, my heart softened.

My father had went through great lengths looking for a way to remove my curse. And I also knew that he was worried about me but felt guilty that he couldn't find a way to help me, which eventually caused his own deteriorating condition.

I understood where his sadness and helplessness was coming from, and I knew he was telling me the truth.

But when all was said and done, I knew that I wasn't as important to him as the throne and the continuation of his bloodline.

My father put our bloodline on a pedestal. I wondered how he would react if he found out that the baby Lucy was carrying might not be Richard's...

For a moment, I wanted to tell him.

But the truth was just too cruel. Even I didn't have the heart to break it to him, especially when I looked into his wrinkled, sunken eyes.

"Fine. I promise. If we don't find a way to get rid of the curse, I'll support Lucy's child to inherit the throne."

My father finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he closed his eyes and winced. "Go and see your mother now. She is very dissatisfied with how you handled things earlier. You need to solve this matter by yourself. There is nothing I can do to help."

His tone was sullen, as if something was weighing him down in his mind. An unnatural expression appeared on his old face.

I shrugged. I was under the impression that my mother had also given him a hard time because of Richard.

I excused myself and stood up to go find my mother.
