The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 390

Sylvia's POV:

I felt aggrieved after being scolded by Leonard. Was it wrong that I didn't want to admit defeat? Wasn't it worth it if I traded my own life for the safety of others?

But Leonard disagreed with me. He sneered, "You're still too young."

I couldn't speak as if something was stuck in my throat. Leonard's opinion completely overturned my previous cognition.

"As a qualified soldier, the first thing you need to understand is that losing is not terrible, and death either. What's terrible is that you could have protected your comrades and your people, but you died because of your unnecessary courage. At the same time, you would also hurt those you should have protected."

Leonard was no longer angry. But the calmer he was, the more awed I became.

The disappointment in his voice left me wondering what to do.

My life as a slave in the past had limited my knowledge. Besides, all I had to face all the time were the intrigues between the she-wolves and the bullying of those powerful werewolves.

In the past, my only wish was to live, so I tried my best to survive.

Later, I was admitted to the military academy with the goal of serving the empire. I thought it was normal to dedicate my life to the empire and the people.

But Leonard's words today caused a huge wave to ripple in my heart.

It turned out that not every sacrifice could be respected, and sometimes it could backfire.

Not all efforts would be well-received.

In the face of war, life was so small and yet so heavy.

I was so depressed that I didn't say anything.

"Yes, you have some abilities and a little bit of cleverness. With these skills, you may get a high position in a small pack. But they are far from enough for you to become a true royal soldier and shoulder the responsibility of the entire werewolf race."
