The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 598

Chapter 598: Back to Their Everyday Lives (II)

Salem had even proudly written that he had finally managed to teach them how to read properly. On top of that, he had started teaching them some basic medical knowledge as well.

Every time Primrose received one of his letters, she could almost imagine Salem sitting among the children with a book in his hands, patiently teaching them one word at a time.

At least while Primrose was busy helping the kingdom recover, the children were slowly beginning to build new lives of their own.

Things had been peaceful for the past two months. Unfortunately, that peace did not last forever.

"Your Majesty, we finally found Pippa’s parents."

Primrose immediately looked up from the documents on her desk when Solene entered her office with the news.

Now that Primrose had gotten used to handling the kingdom’s affairs, Sevrin no longer needed to stay by her side all the time. He would still help whenever she needed some rest due to her pregnancy or simply did not feel like dealing with something herself, but most days, Primrose could handle everything just fine on her own.

Today happened to be one of the rare days when Sevrin was busy with some personal matters. Because of that, Primrose was alone when Solene brought her the news she had been waiting for.

They had finally found the parents of one of the women she had brought back to Noctvaris: Pippa, the hamster beastwoman.

And apparently, her own parents were the ones who had sold her to Averon.

Primrose’s expression immediately darkened. "It was really difficult to find them," Solene continued. "They belong to a tribe that isn’t registered under Noctvaris’s administration."

That information only made Primrose more confused. "A tribe that isn’t registered?"

Solene nodded. "The Holan Tribe. They have never sent their strongest warrior to challenge His Majesty the Lycan King."

Normally, tribes that wanted to remain independent had to send their strongest warrior to fight Edmund. If their warrior lost, they would have no choice but to accept Edmund’s rule and follow the laws he had set.

However, the Holan Tribe had avoided doing exactly that.

"They know they would lose," Solene explained. "And once they lose, they would be forced to follow His Majesty’s rules."

Primrose slowly leaned back in her chair. "Is there a particular reason why they’re so determined not to join Noctvaris?"

Solene did not answer right away. For a moment, she simply stood there in silence, and the hesitation on her face made Primrose’s frown deepen.

Finally, Solene spoke. "Because the Holan Tribe still practices an old tradition." She took a small breath before saying, "They sacrifice the most beautiful girl in their tribe to be killed as their God’s sacrifice."

Primrose immediately gritted her teeth. Of all the answers she had expected, that was the one she hated the most.

For a few seconds, she said nothing. Her fingers slowly tightened around the paper in her hand as memories she would rather forget began creeping back into her mind.
