The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Rufus' POV:

The muddy little girl clung to my leg tightly and didn't let go. I didn't know what she was muttering.

The two robbers groaned painfully on the ground. They were being very noisy.

I shot them an annoyed glance, and the soldier immediately understood. He approached them and punched both of them hard, knocking them out cold.

The little girl curled her fingers into my trousers and tried to get to her feet, but she was struggling. She was still mumbling something.

I picked her up with one hand and bent my head closer to her mouth, trying to hear her clearly, but she had lost consciousness.

"My King, let me hold the child." The soldier nearby approached me carefully with the intention of taking the child. However, the kid's hand was tightly gripping mine even after she had fainted, and she refused to let go.

I scowled and tried to pull my hand away, but she held on even more tightly.
