The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 851

Sylvia's POV:

It was late at night, and the streets were mostly empty.

Still, in order not to draw any unnecessary attention, Harry and I took a secluded path. About half an hour later, we drew near the imperial palace and finally slowed down a little to catch our breaths.

I turned to check Rufus' condition. He was still asleep.

Harry glanced at me questioningly and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with Prince Rufus? Did Noreen put him under a curse?"

"No, it's a long story. I'll explain everything later." I sighed helplessly. Now it was my turn to ask him a question. "Why'd you suddenly show up?" Embarrassed, Harry scratched his head and faltered. "You... You've been avoiding me the past few days, and there's a rumor going around that Joanna will be executed. I grew restless so I've been snooping around. Earlier, I saw soldiers escorting the prisoners out of the palace. I thought Joanna was one of them, so I followed them."

"Without you, I wouldn't have escaped from Noreen so easily." I looked at Harry gratefully. If it weren't for him, Noreen might've successfully taken me away.

"That's what friends are for, right? No need to thank me." Harry patted his puffed-out chest and smiled heartily.

I was moved by his kindness. "Don't worry. I've figured out what happened to Joanna. She'll be fine."

"Are you serious? Oh, my God! That's wonderful!" Harry's eyes instantly lit up.

I smiled at him and promised, "Joanna will come back safe and sound, so stop worrying about her, okay?"

"Okay! Thank you so much, Sylvia!"
