The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Rufus' POV:

I ordered my private soldiers to secretly investigate what Sylvia had done after she left the palace today.

In less than an hour, one of my subordinates came back to report the result of the investigation.

"Miss Todd went to the black market to see Murray during the day. We don't know exactly what they had talked about because when we went there, Murray wasn't in the cottage. However, our people have taken photos of Miss Todd in the black market," my subordinate said before handing me a sealed envelope.
