The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 840

Sylvia's POV:

To make it appear as though I was utterly upset, I purposefully paced back and forth across the room and touched nothing from the small tea table, which was full of my favorite desserts.

I made a mournful face as I touched my baby bump.

At this time, Maya walked in, set down the fresh sheet in her hand, and asked, "What's wrong, Miss Todd? You seem to be in a bad mood."

"Nothing," I answered weakly.

It was raining cats and dogs outside today, and Harry didn't come to make trouble again, so the weather might have been a factor for that. Meanwhile, Rufus went to the city hall to preside over some important meetings, and he might come back very late.

Maya didn't leave. She walked up to me and asked gingerly, "Miss Todd, are you affected by the rumors circulating in the palace?"

I feigned a surprise reaction and asked, "Have you heard about them as well?"

Maya nodded cautiously.

I quickly pulled her to sit on the sofa. "Tell me more. Has it spread widely in the palace?"

"Yes, rumors had it that you killed the lycan king. They also said that you did all these for your sake, so Prince Rufus could ascend the throne and you could be the new queen. Despite Prince Rufus' best efforts to silence such a rumor, it is still being discussed among the servants behind closed doors."

After hearing what she said, I fell silent and pulled a long face.

The sky outside erupted in a flurry of lightning and a heavy downpour.

A warm fire from the fireplace kept the room warm. Maya held my hand and comforted me gently.
