The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 389

Sylvia's POV:

At first, I wasn't convinced.

Leonard was strong and I wasn't a match for him at all. I had tried my best in battle, but I knew it would be futile. Just when I had found an opportunity to fight back, he stopped me...

With his hands clasped behind his back, Leonard narrowed his sharp eyes at me, as though he had seen right through me. Sure enough, his next words were, "I know you're not convinced."

He exposed me, which was a little embarrassing.

"I am, sir," I replied stiffly.

Leonard snorted. "Your thoughts are written all over your face."

Unable to retort, I lowered my head and didn't say anything. Leonard's show of strength now made me realize just how weak I really was.

Neither of us said a word for a while.

Finally, I took the initiative to break the silence.

"So what were my three fatal mistakes?" Feeling a little awkward, I fidgeted with a button on my uniform.

"Mistake number one: when you pushed the door open and walked in, I hid just behind the door, but you didn't even notice."

I looked up at him in surprise. "You were here from the beginning? But I didn't even hear you breathe."

Werewolves had especially sharp senses, especially those who had received professional training. I should've been able to sense Leonard's breathing the second I walked in here.

Leonard looked at me with reproach. "That was your second fatal mistake. You were likely blinded by what you saw with your eyes first. You saw an empty training gym, so you convinced yourself that the place was empty. But the fact of the matter was that your enemy was hiding in the dark, watching your every move."

"Who would've foreseen such a sneak attack?" I stubbornly muttered under my breath.

Fortunately, Leonard didn't seem to hear me murmur. With a straight face, he continued to criticize me. "You entered a new place, yet you not only let your guard down, you exposed your back to your enemy so easily. I didn't even have to lift a finger. Do you think you're ready to go on a mission? You'd die a thousand times over."

Frowning, I became even less convinced. "This is the Royal Army. I came here to attend a class. I didn't expect it'd be dangerous."
