The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 842

Maya's POV:

I had been keeping an eye on the imperial palace ever since hearing the news from Sylvia.

Thankfully, nothing happened the following day. Then Harry, who was gone for two days, suddenly turned up near the palace again. He looked ghastly pale and haggard. Rumors in the palace had that Sylvia would use Joanna as a scapegoat.

This would ultimately put Harry and Sylvia's friendship at stake.

I told the guards to keep an eye on Harry and not let him in.

Meanwhile, Sylvia spent the entire day in her room. Even though she wasn't particularly hungry, she gobbled up a bunch of chicken wings. She ate them while watching a movie and soon the bones had already filled a small bucket. Compared with yesterday's restlessness, Sylvia was in better spirits today.

Rufus must have comforted her last night.

After I had finished my work at the palace, I went for a walk to clear my head and settle my stomach. Like always, I took the path from the secret prison to exit the palace.

This path was very remote, and behind it was a forest. Unless some prisoners were being secretly escorted to somewhere else, relatively few people would normally pass by.

I checked the time and learned that it was nine o'clock in the evening. It was time for Sylvia to drink her milk. So I hastily returned to the palace and brought a glass of milk to her room.

Sylvia was lying in a rocking chair, taking a nap. She was wearing a loose-fitting white nightgown that accentuated her pregnant belly, and her longhair cascaded down over her shoulders. Her stunning features seemed at ease.

I walked over quietly, set the milk down, and said softly, "Miss Todd, if you are tired, why don't you sleep on your bed?"

Sylvia slowly opened her eyes and yawned. "Okay. Put the milk here and I'll drink later. Rufus will not be home until very late tonight. He has something important to deal with. You don't have to wait up. Go and have a rest."
