The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 473

Sylvia's POV:

I didn't believe that.

If the lye an king had acquiesced, Rufus would have known it.

"I know you don't believe me. You come from the imperial capital and have lived a happy, peaceful life..."

"You are wrong, Felix," I interrupted him. "I used to be a slave. My life was no better than yours."

Felix was silent for a while, and his face finally softened. "It doesn't mean others are the same as you. In all these years, the lycan king has not once asked about the situation in our pack. Either he feels guilty or he just doesn't care."

"Enough! Felix, you can't make claims without evidence. I don't want you to get yourself into trouble because of spreading this rumor," I reprimanded him. I didn't want the innocent boy to get into trouble by making false claims.

But my mind was a complete mess now. I couldn't help but think of Ethan being paranoid about power and inheritance. Even though Richard had committed such serious crimes and taken the lives of many innocent soldiers, Ethan still spared Richard's life because only he could extend his bloodline.

Ethan was probably more ruthless than I thought.

Felix didn't utter another. He lowered his head, and my heart broke at the sight of the little boy who looked broken and dejected.

Felix smiled bitterly. "Not exactly. The children inside are all our family members. We've sent them there in person though." "Why?" I was confused.

Felix remained silent for a while. When he looked up at me, I could see the pain in his eyes. "The best resources, education, and living environment is available only inside the wall. We can also visit them once a month. The children live a happy, comfortable life there. Even if their relatives outside the wall die, the children inside would live a secure life, free of fear. They would also receive a generous pension as compensation." He smiled sadly. "So I guess you have an idea now as to why the werewolves outside the wall are eager to become prey for the vampires. We want to secure the life of our dear ones."

Felix sounded calm as if we were discussing the weather. I could see life had toughened the innocent boy -- he had become numb. However, his eyes lit up every time he spoke about Alva.

"I'm doing all this for Alva. How can such a young child face this cruel world all by herself?" Felix grew depressed. Talking about Alva seemed to reveal his vulnerability.

My heart broke as I silently watched the little boy risking his own life just to keep his little sister happy.
