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.

I took the envelope and put it on the table. Then, I ordered my subordinate to leave.

I stood up and poured myself a glass of whiskey. I didn't open the sealed envelope immediately and just looked at it for some time.

While I was lost in thought, I heard someone knock on the door before saying, "Prince Rufus, it's me, Maya. I'm here to bring you something to eat." S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
