Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 460
Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Sylviaâs POV:
If there was one reoccurring theme in this packâs architecture, it was the low buildings.
I had not seen any tall structures ever since I got here. The highest one was probably the city hall in the center, which was only almost thirty meters tall.
The huge wall was likely the highest landmark in the entire pack.
Barlow was quite polite, but he seldom talked to us.
Meanwhile, Flora kept talking to him with great interest. âAre all the werewolves here always so hospitable?â
I looked at Barlow, curious to hear his answer as well. Flora and I received a lot of food from the citizens along the way. Each person had a friendly smile on their faces and showed no intention of rejecting us.
Barlow smiled proudly. âNot only do we have hospitable citizens, but we also have great public security. We donât even need to lock our doors at night.â
âOh, what about outside that huge wall? Isnât that the same pack too? It seems to be quite different over there,â Flora blurted out.
Barlowâs look turned suspicious instantly. âYouâve been outside the wall?â
âNot really. We only passed by it when we first arrived.â I quickly covered up. âThe buildings outside just look much older than the ones here. Thatâs all. We donât really know much, since we just got here. Weâre just saying what weâve seen so far.â
There was relief on Barlowâs face, and his smile returned. âYes. In fact, it is quite similar outside and inside the wall. The only difference is the social classes that reside. Outside, it is the suburbs where once only few werewolves lived. As time went on, more and more werewolves who were at the lowest social class rushed out of the wall in search for jobs. Over the past years, our Alpha has made great efforts to help develop the economy outside the wall.â
I simply smiled, not saying anything. Barlowâs words sounded reasonable, but it still did not make sense to me.
If it were truly that simple, why were the werewolves outside forbidden from entering the wall?
What Barlow said was also the exact opposite of what Felix said. Felix was very clear when he said that the werewolves outside the wall had already been abandoned by Geoffrey.
Still, I chose not to ask Barlow what else happened outside the wall. I just followed quietly and observed what was going on here inside.
After a whole day of sightseeing, I couldnât find anything wrong.
But to me, it looked too perfect here. Even the imperial city couldnât achieve such good public order like there.
It was joyous everywhere, just like heaven. Being here, it was actually hard to imagine that hell was right outside the wall, within the same pack.
I wanted to walk by myself to investigate more, but Barlow was following us closely, making it difficult for me to find any opportunity.
Thankfully, Flora caught on to what I was trying to do and covered for me.
But Barlow was still cunning. While he tried to retain his respectful attitude, he suddenly became tougher when we said that we wanted to walk around on our own.
It seemed to me that Geoffrey had already warned him not to let us out of sight.
We had no choice but to go sightseeing with him. At least, we were able to get familiar with the place.
We walked from east to west of the city. When we passed by a building with pink and blue walls, we heard laughter come from inside.
âIs that a kindergarten?â Curious, Flora asked. She couldnât see much because thick branches blocked her view.
âItâs an orphanage,â Barlow replied casually.
âWow, this orphanage is quite large.â I approached the iron fence and wanted to look inside, but the orphanage was surrounded by densely packed trees.
It seemed that Barlow didnât want to stay too long at the orphanage. He only said a few words to introduce it.
A part of me grew suspicious. I walked to the small side door, hoping to walk in and take a look.
