Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince 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.

B***d 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 b***d 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.

I instantly understood what he meant. I suppressed my smile and glanced at Edwin guiltily.

Werewolves’ healing power was naturally strong, and Edwin was powerful in his own right. The military doctor applied two band-aids with pink strawberry patterns on his hand.

“Can you change it for something… less pink?” Edwin stared at the band-aids on his hand with a complex expression.

The military doctor looked a little embarrassed. “The regular ones have been used up. As you know, soldiers are injured often in daily training, so the band-aids are consumed very quickly. How about I apply the ones with the yellow pigs for you?”

“No, thanks,” Edwin’s tone was monotonous, his expression stony.

After the military doctor left, Edwin seemed to be unable to stand the band-aids for one more moment. He quickly removed them and slipped them into his pocket. He did this stealthily, as if he was a thief, fearing that Leonard would catch him.

But I saw it, and I was taken aback.

Noticing my gaze, Edwin immediately pretended to be serious and coughed as if nothing had happened.

Leonard and Rufus had also done talking. It was time to leave.

Leonard touched my head. It was the second time that he had done this. His expression was a little sentimental. “I don’t know when we will meet again after we go our separate ways this time. Take care.”

I was very reluctant to leave him. My lips twitched and I said, “When I finish my mission and return, I will visit you as soon as I get the chance.”

He gave a relieved nod.

“And Mr. Edwin,” I added

Leonard’s smile abruptly froze. He coughed and urged, “Well, you should go now. Edwin and I are leaving too.”

Then he hastily left with Edwin.

The exchange was so strange. I scratched my head, feeling a little baffled.

When the army was ready to set out, Rufus took me to a corner, plucked a strand of hair from my head, and handed it to one of his men along with the handkerchief stained with b***d for a secret paternity test.

“Remember, inform me as soon as the result arrives. Don’t let anyone find out about it,” Rufus ordered his man in a frosty voice.

“Yes, sir.” The subordinate obeyed the order and left quickly.

As I watched the man’s receding figure, an inexplicable wave of panic suddenly swept over me.

I was afraid I would be unable to face the truth I would be presented with.
