The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 108

CAMILLA’S PO.V

I stood in front of the large double doors that led to my father’s room and I stared. Ryker stood right behind me not saying a single word but he didn’t need to. I was almost certain that he could hear and feel every single thought that was going through my mind at the moment. I slowly slipped the key into the lock and pushed the door open and the first thing that went through my mind was how large the room was.

The bed there could have fit at least five adult people. There was a huge chaise lounge at one end of the room with smaller chairs around it. At another end of the room was a large workspace with books placed carefully over it. The room looked almost spotless and dirt covered every surface. It looked like no one had gone into the room since he died. I had to bury my nose into my elbow to prevent the dust particles from bothering me as I walked in.

“It seems he was very minimalistic,” I drawled as I took in the extravagant nature of the room. It was one fit for a king and despite my sarcastic words, I found the room intriguing.

I immediately went towards the book and picked the first one up. I flipped through the pages hoping to see something useful but it only turned out to be some notes on the palace. It wasn’t anything that could have helped us with what was going on. I flipped through all the books on the desk while Ryker went through the closet but we couldn’t find anything.

“There has to be something here,” I told him as I patted down the bed. “If there wasn’t, my mother wouldn’t ask me to come here. Maybe we just aren’t looking hard enough.”

“That might be a possibility but Camilla, this room is empty. Christine said it was combed through after he died. If anything was here, it might have been taken away and burned with his other things during the cremation. That is the culture, is it not?”

I didn’t want to think of the possibility of him being right but it seemed more believable as the seconds ticked by. I knew we were not going to find anything but I still couldn’t brush off the feeling that there was something in the room. My mother asked me here, not directly anyways and unless I misunderstood her, then I knew that there was something for me to find, I just needed to look through it.

“Okay, wait, let us take a step back and think about this,” I told Ryker and he nodded. He walked over to me so he could give me his undivided attention. “What do we know about my father so far?”

“He was very powerful, he was the king and he was a people person,” I nodded and gestured for him to continue. “I believe he was also very private.”
