Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince

Sylvia’s POV:

The news that Joanna attempted to assassinate the lycan king nearly scared me out of my mind. How could it be possible? It sounded even more ridiculous than a watermelon growing on a tree.

“What the hell is going on? Is the lycan king okay?”

No wonder Rufus was called away as soon as we stepped out of the car. He must have gone to deal with this matter.

Harry’s face was lined with worry as he replied, “The king is still unconscious. Joanna was caught on the spot.”

“How could this have taken place all of a sudden? Don’t you spend all your time with Joanna? Didn’t you notice her motives?” My brow was furrowed and my stomach churned uneasily. If something happened to Ethan, Joanna would definitely be executed.

“I indeed discovered that Joanna is actually a killer, and she arrived in the imperial capital with a mission. But I didn’t know her target was the lycan king!” Harry seemed to be in a foul mood, too. He sounded anxious and upset.

I was furious that he had concealed the fact that Joanna was a killer. I couldn’t stop my temper from flaring. “Even if you didn’t know who her target was, you should have at least informed us in advance. Now things turn out like this. If something happens to the lycan king, do you think Joanna will get to live?”

I knew that Harry liked Joanna. Maybe he thought that she was on our side and wouldn’t do anything to hurt us. But Harry was too naive this time.

He lowered his head guiltily. “I’m sorry. Joanna is my mate, and I think she is a good person. I thought I could keep a strict watch on her, but I didn’t expect the situation to turn out like this.”

I inhaled deeply and tried to calm myself down. There was no point in blaming anyone now. Since something catastrophic had already happened, we had to focus on finding a solution.

At this point, I could only pray that Ethan was not gravely injured and would regain consciousness soon.

“Sylvia, will you help me?” Harry raised his pitiful puppy eyes and watched me miserably.

I inwardly felt bad for him and wanted to help him, but there was nothing I could do. “The person Joanna assassinated is no ordinary man. He is the king of an empire. No one can help you now. The only thing we can do is pray that the lycan king is fine.”

Harry was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead. “After the incident, I managed to find a way to meet Joanna. She said she didn’t do it! When she entered the room, the lycan king was already lying unconscious. She was captured before she could do anything to help him. It was a trap!”

“How can you be certain that she didn’t lie to you?” I asked challengingly.

Harry ran his hand through his hair agitatedly. He was pacing back and forth. “How do I answer this question of yours? It’s my intuition. I spend every day with Joanna and I know her. She wouldn’t have gone to so much trouble if she truly meant to deceive me!”

My heart sank. After carefully considering all the puzzle pieces for a while, I finally agreed with Harry. “I will trust her this one time for your sake, Harry. You are my good friend, so I believe in your instincts. I will find a way to get to the bottom of this matter. In the meanwhile, don’t make any decision without consulting me.”

Harry gave me a big hug and gratefully said, “I love you so much, Sylvia.”

“Okay, stop it. You’d better go back and have some rest. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. I’m going to look for Rufus now.”

After bidding Harry goodbye, I went to Ethan’s palace in search of Rufus. The guard at the gate recognized me and let me pass through.

I entered the hall without any obstacles and spotted Rufus standing by the stairway. He looked haggard and was surrounded by several confidants. I didn’t know their topic of discussion.

When he glanced up and noticed me, he walked to me and asked, “Why are you here?”

“Harry has told me everything. How is your father now?” I asked worriedly.

“The doctor has said that he is in great danger.”
