The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 834

Sylvia's POV:

Noreen was too cunning. Until now, I still couldn't figure out her true purpose.

If she didn't hate Ethan, why did she insist on killing him?

My thoughts wandered to all the things that she had done. It didn't seem like she had a clear purpose either.

It seemed like everyone around me had already been Noreen's pawns.

"Actually, there' s another thin g I h aven' t told you," Joanna suddenly said.

"What is it?"

"My mission in the imperial palace was to assassinate the king and then pin the blame on you." She looked at me cautiously before lowering her head and clenching her fists. "Because of the relationship you have with Harry, I haven't been able to make up my mind about carrying out the task."

"I guess I should consider myself lucky to have Harry as my friend, then," I replied. I wasn't surprised or disappointed at that point. Even if someone told me that Noreen was transsexual, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Joanna went silent for a while before she added, "You know what? After we got along with each other, I thought you were a good person. That's why I delayed the task for as long as I could. I actually didn't go there to kill Ethan. I just received a secret signal requiring a meeting. Unexpectedly, he already fainted when I arrived there and I was caught red-handed."

"Did Noreen leave the secret signal for you?" I asked with a frown.

Joanna shook her head. "I thought it was her, but I denied it after careful consideration. If it was a secret signal that my adoptive mother left, she would have also left a totem of the Big Dipper, but I didn't find it this time. She took so much effort to raise me and train me to be a killer because she wanted me to kill the king someday. I just don't see it as why she wanted to frame me."

"Is there any possibility that Noreen found out that you wanted to betray her?"
