The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 425

Sylvia's POV:

"Isn't this dagger very important to you? You've always carried it around with you, haven't you?" Edwin asked Leonard in surprise.

Leonard waved his hand disapprovingly and sighed, "This dagger used to accompany me in every battle and has saved me several times. To me, it was like a talisman. However, I can't go on the battlefield anymore. It's time to hand it down to the younger generation."

I hadn't expected this dagger to be so precious. For a moment, I was unsure if I should accept it or not.

Leonard chuckled and placed the dagger in my hand. "This is a gift from your elder. Take it."

Mixed emotions flowed through me as I held the dagger in my hand. This was the first time an elder had given me a gift, and it was very special to me.

"Although it looks a little old, it's still sharp. Don't underestimate it." With his hands clasped behind his back, Leonard looked congenial.

"Thank you," I said in a soft voice.

Leonard nodded with a smile and replied, "You are my student. You don't need to thank me. I have also given you this dagger as a weapon of self-defense. Sometimes, a small weapon like this can also have unexpected advantages. Make good use of it and it can be your good assistant on the battlefield."

Happiness spread through me. This gesture meant that Leonard had completely accepted me.

I swung the dagger randomly in the air. Unexpectedly, Edwin raised his hand at the same time, and the sharp blade slashed the back of his hand.

Blood gushed out instantly.

I hastily put away the dagger, unsure of what to do. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean for that to happen. You..."

Edwin covered the back of his hand and smiled at me. "It's not your fault. I was careless."

Leonard immediately instructed his subordinate to summon the military doctor. Although the cut was not deep, it was still bleeding.

I rummaged in my pocket, wanting to find a handkerchief to cover Edwin's wound, but came up empty.

At this moment, Rufus, who was standing behind me, extracted a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Edwin to cover the wound.

The military doctor also arrived in a few minutes and tended to Edwin's gash. Rufus took back the handkerchief and winked at me discretely.

For a moment, I was confused, and then Rufus ' meaning hit me. My heart soared with joy.

I had assumed that it would take forever for me to get an opportunity to get Edwin's blood for the paternity test, but now, I had obtained it without much effort.

"Ahem!" Rufus gave a dry cough, reminding me to restrain my excitement.
