The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Alina's POV:

The queen's hall dazzled with lights. I took the tea from the maid and brought it to Laura.

"Your Majesty, please taste this. I made it with dew," I said softly.

Laura nodded and took a sip. Then, she raised her head and smiled at me. "You're so considerate. Only you care about me."

"Your Majesty, you are kidding, right? Prince Rufus also cares about you." I pursed my lips and smiled, faking obedience in an effort to impress her.

"Rufus?" Laura snorted and knocked the teacup on the table. "I can't remember a day that he doesn't piss me off. Richard also makes me worried. He has been lawless and doesn't give a damn about me because the king has been paying more attention to him."

"Please don't be angry." I slyly winked at the servants, gesturing for them to leave. Then, I turned to Laura and said, "Richard is not a legitimate prince after all. He will never be as good as Prince Rufus." Laura's face visibly relaxed. "I know that. But Richard's existence is like a thorn in my heart. I can't stop worrying until I get rid of him."
