Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 615

Sylvia’s POV:

I felt very indignant. Although I already knew that Richard would be released sooner or later, I didn’t expect that he’d be released this soon.

And he didn’t even look that affected—in fact, it looked like he had a great time in prison.

Rufus, noticing my annoyance, squeezed my hand to comfort me subtly.

And then, without batting an eyelash, he reported the situation of the mission to Ethan.

Ethan seemed to be in a good mood. He had a big, bright smile on his face and he even praised everyone who participated in the fight against the vampires.

Everyone was in high spirits.

That was, until Ethan brought up Richard’s name.

Harry, who had been chatting with Flora happily, immediately fell silent and rolled his eyes at Richard before turning his gaze to me.

Flora had to hide her face behind Warren’s back before she made a face at me, expressing her disgust towards Richard.

Ethan continued, “While you all were gone, so as to offset his previous mistakes, Richard put forward some constructive suggestions regarding the development of the military school and participated in the reform. He will be involved in political affairs again from now on.”

I felt sick to my stomach. The bad guy was only punished with a slap on the wrist. The soldiers Richard killed didn’t get the justice they deserved.

While it was true that the objection against Richard had indeed subsided a little, that didn’t give him the right to join society again. The citizens might forget the crimes Richard had committed, but that didn’t change the fact that the dead couldn’t come back to life.

Why else did we have laws and regulations if criminals could just roam around free?

What would the world become if everyone could just surpass morality and violate rules as they pleased?

And I highly doubted that an idiot like Richard could do what Ethan claimed he did. Although Richard was cunning, he was short-sighted. It became obvious that Ethan did everything he could to clear Richard’s name while we were absent.

Sure enough, it turned out that Ethan cared more about his bloodline and the heir to the throne than the voices from the bottom of the society.

I tried my best not to show my anger. Standing next to Rufus, I lowered my head and looked at the ground indifferently.

Just then, Rufus said, “Congratulations.”

I looked up in surprise and saw that he was looking straight at Richard calmly.

Both Ethan and Richard were stunned, especially Richard. Without thinking, Richard said thanks.

He didn’t realize what he had done until he finished his words. He looked a little embarrassed.

Ethan smiled with relief. “There is no irreconcilable enmity between brothers. I hope that you two will get along and cooperate to bring the empire to new heights.”

Rufus nodded casually.

His calmness was infectious. My anger gradually dissipated. After the escapades at the border, Rufus had become more calm and reserved, exuding the aura of a level-headed emperor.

Obviously, Richard also realized this. He looked at Rufus worriedly, as though he was feeling a sense of crisis.

Ignoring him, Rufus proceeded to ask Ethan about the candidates for Alpha of the border packs.

Wincing slightly, Ethan sighed and said, “This matter will be decided in a day or two. Selecting a new Alpha is no trivial matter and we have to carefully consider every angle. Also, Geoffrey will be imprisoned in the dungeon. I will interrogate him myself in a few days.”

“Okay.”

After exchanging niceties, Ethan dismissed us and told us to get some rest.

But Rufus and I went straight to Blair’s ward.
