The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Sylvia's POV:

The tit for tat conversation ceased because Ethan, the lycan king, arrived. I breathed a sigh of relief. I also realized that the queen, Laura, wasn't easy to get along with, and she didn't seem to like me either. But it didn't matter. Their opinions didn't mean anything to me, Once my mother's case was redressed and Rufus' curse was removed, I would leave here and find a comfortable place in the mountain, along the banks of the rivers to live. That was the only thing that seemed to comfort me.

The bell chimed, and the banquet officially began.

Rufus held my hand and led me to the main table along with the king and queen. The king sat at the head of the table wearing his traditional court dress.

Rufus pulled out a chair like a gentleman and gestured for me to sit down.

I looked up at him and smiled gratefully. When I was about to sit down, Laura spoke, "Not everyone can sit at the main table. A slave belongs in the kitchen. Don't stain the good wine and dishes on the table." Laura raised her glass and took a sip, shooting a disdainful look at me. My body froze; I didn't know where to rest my hands and feet. My face flushed, and I couldn't contain my embarrassment. That was Laura's sly way of asking me to get out.
