Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 682
Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Rufusâ POV:
I was glad that Sylviaâs wound was only a small one, but I still felt bad for her when I caught a glimpse of the b***d stain on her palm.
I took her hand and carefully treated her wound. I didnât let her go until I was sure she wasnât bleeding any more. After what Alina did, everyone now wasnât in the mood to continue eating anymore.
Leonard sent his men to arrange for a place for Floraâs parents to stay and then left with Owen shortly after talking to me about some political affairs.
Sylvia wanted to go back with me, but Flora clung to her, looking quite desperate.
âSylvia, please stay with me tonight,â Flora said. She looked restless, and it seemed like she didnât want to talk to Warren.
Sylvia wanted to say something but decided against it. She probably thought Iâd be mad at her if she would choose to go with Flora.
I gave her a small, reassuring smile. âDonât worry. You can go with her. Just be sure toââ
âYouâre the best, Prince Rufus!â
Flora cut me off with a happy cheer before I could finish what I was about to say. Then, she dragged Sylvia away. I looked at Sylvia. âDonât stay up late, okay?â
âI wonât let her stay up late. Donât worry!â Flora reassured.
Sylvia smiled as she turned to look at me. âWeâll get going now.â
I reluctantly nodded. âOkay.â
After Flora and Sylvia left, I turned around and caught up with Edwin. He was talking to the guards.
He looked quite surprised when I stopped him. He probably didnât expect me to talk to him in private. After all, he was just an ordinary elder in the pack, and there were many things he wouldnât be able to help with. Leonard would be an ideal person if I ever needed help, but that wasnât the case here.
âMay I have a word with you?â I asked as I handed him a cigarette.
Edwin went silent for a moment before he nodded. âWhy donât we find a quiet place for us to talk?â
âAlright.â
With that, Edwin took me to his room. He told the guards to leave and then asked me why I came to him.
I lit a cigarette as I sat down on the sofa. Then, I shifted my gaze to Edwin. âBefore I came to the Silver Moon Pack, I happened to notice someone lurking in a dark, wanting to harm me and Sylvia. Because of that, I carried out a thorough search of the imperial palace.â
Edwin seemed a little surprised. âDid you catch that person yet?â
âNo, but I found something rather⦠interesting,â I replied with a smile before I stubbed the cigarette out.
Edwin didnât say anything. He just quietly listened.
My throat felt dry, so I involuntarily coughed, causing my voice to become a little hoarse as I spoke. âEven though the person ran away, I found out that there was a mole in my private medical team. I thought they were an enemy, but after a thorough investigation, I found out that this person did nothing but replace the b***d sample for a test I demanded.â
I coughed again after saying that. Edwin poured me a glassof water.
I took the glassand gave him a small smile. âThank you.â After drinking some water, I felt a lot better, so I continued. âGuess whose b***d the sample is.â
Edwin didnât directly look at me and avoided eye contact. He poured himself a glassof water and slowly sipped it. âWhat are you trying to say, Prince Rufus?â
I chuckled before taking out a thin piece of paper from my briefcase. âWhy donât you have a look? This is the original report.â
Edwin sat still. He just stared at me for a few seconds.
I curled my lips and put the report in front of him. âLeonardâs men are all capable people, and you are no exception, Edwin. If it werenât for the fact that weâre trying to eliminate all the dissidents, Iâm afraid I wouldnât have found out that someone had tampered with the paternity test. I wouldnât have expected that the person who snuck into my private medical team was your former student either.â
