The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 448

Sylvia's POV:

Although Geoffrey was vehemently scolding the leading guard, I felt that he was implying something else.

With a straight face, I eyed Geoffrey warily as my mind raced.

As his scolding came to a close, Geoffrey ordered his men to drag the leading guard away and execute him.

But before they could drag him away, I put a stop to this farce.

"Forget it. It was the five of us who broke the rules in the first place. He was just fulfilling his duty. He's not in the wrong."

As I spoke, I cast a cold glance at the sniveling leading guard.

He didn't seem to expect that I would intercede for him. His eyes went wide in bewilderment, but then he quickly nodded to me in thanks.

I looked away from him and turned to Geoffrey. "I think it'd be better to avoid bloodshed tonight." "If that's what Miss Todd wants, then I'll spare his life." Geoffrey raised his eyebrows and gave me a friendly smile. Then, to the leading guard, he growled, "Get out of my sight."

The leading guard yelped with joy and hurriedly crawled out.

Then Geoffrey asked the maids to bring us coffee and exquisite desserts. He said that he wanted to catch up with us.

I held the cup of coffee in my hand and didn't say anything. I had a gut feeling that he wanted to ask us some questions, like where we had been tonight.

Sure enough, after asking Harry about his father, Geoffrey turned to me to ask about our whereabouts tonight.

"Why didn't you take anyone with you? Why did you go out alone? Our pack isn't that big, but one can still get lost easily if they're not careful."

I sipped from my coffee silently.

"But you all should know that our humble pack is nowhere near as prosperous as the imperial capital city. In the evening, almost nobody goes out on the streets. If you're looking for some more fun, I'll have someone take you out tomorrow," Geoffrey offered sincerely. Then he turned to apologize to me, but I could tell he wasn't sorry from the look on his face. "I have to say sorry for one more thing."

"What is it?" I frowned slightly. Somehow, I had a sinking feeling that I wouldn't want to hear his next words. My gut told me that it had something to do with Rufus.

Sure enough, Geoffrey sighed and said, "I didn't know you came here with Prince Rufus. Worried that the lycan prince would feel lonely tonight, I specially arranged for a slave to serve him. If I had known you were here, I wouldn't have done such a thing."

Rage surged within me as he spoke. He even had the audacity to bring that up and pretend to be sorry. I really wanted to twist his head off.

But I had to consider the welfare of my team. Suppressing my anger, I forced a smile and shrugged it off nonchalantly. "It's fine. Other than me, Prince Rufus wouldn't get close to any she-wolf." "What?" Geoffrey looked surprised. "But the slave has been in Prince Rufus' room for more than four hours now and hasn't come out yet."

Hearing this, I lost my composure on the spot.
