The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Chapter 23

Sylvia's POV:

"Why don't you just tell Rufus that the head maid is belittling you?" Yana asked in confusion.

I walked around the long corridor and paused. "If I complain to him, it will only make people look down on me even more."

"I don't think so. If they see that Rufus is protecting you, who will dare to bully you?" Yana said playfully.

"I'm afraid that the news that I'm the daughter of a traitor has already spread all over the imperial palace. No matter how Rufus defends me, I'm just a humiliating accessory in the eyes of others.

"Dear, do you know how to get there?"

"What?"

Yana's question brought me back to my senses. It was only then that I realized that I had got lost. I was in the middle of nowhere, and there were no guards around. The sky was already slightly dark, and the wind was cold. The lights on both sides were dim, and the shadows of the trees under the eaves were swaying, giving off a sense of gloom.
