The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Rufus' POV:

After Flora and Joanna left, I remained quietly on the throne for a while, thinking about our conversations from earlier. Then, I asked a subordinate beside me, "What do you think of their stories?" As for me, I didn't buy a single word of it. Actually, both their accounts were consistent, but they were pretty far-fetched.

Joanna was brought up by Noreen and was trained as a killer since she was a child.

I had never met Noreen in person, but I knew from my mother that that black witch was a ruthless and powerful woman. Noreen would never do meaningless things, nor waste her time cultivating a fool. Since Joanna could disguise as a boy and lurk in the school and the army for so long, she must have a rigorous and low-key way of doing things. If that was the case, stealing a dress would be the last thing she would do. Her justification for trying on the dress was that she was sick of wearing men's clothes all the time.

She would never do such a stupid thing.
