Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince novel Chapter 266

Richard's POV: 

When Sylvia brought up the moon grass, I secretly let out a sigh of relief since I had already had my men uprooted the moon grass before Ethan came here.But the damned bitch had apparently taken a video.I nearly had a panic-stricken meltdown.

Fortunately, my father chose to side with me.I looked at Sylvia smugly.

"The king is right.How can you accuse me with just a video? Do you have any other proof?"

"These clearly prove your guilt.How dare you still deny it?" Sylvia was seething with fury.

If she wasn't busy guarding Rufus, she would've attacked me on the spot.

With my back to the king, I sneered at her triumphantly.I faked being hurt and whined, "I didn't know anything about this, I swear! Someone must be framing me!"I deliberately tried to piss Sylvia off, hoping she'd lose her temper and attack me.

Then she'd be charged with assault and would have to be imprisoned with Rufus.But contrary to my expectations, Sylvia suddenly calmed down and didn't say anything more.She simply stared at me intently, as though she was thinking about something.

After a while, she asked softly, "So where was Lucy? I didn't see her."At the mention of Lucy's name, my heart got caught in my throat.

As expected, thanks to Sylvia's reminder, my father looked at my sharply.

"Didn't you say that Lucy was in the manor? Where was she? “ I quickly averted my gaze, not daring to look into his eyes.

My mind went completely blank and I had no idea what to say.

Sylvia sneered smugly.

"The mastermind behind all of this wanted to use Prince Rufus to kill Lady Lucy.Thankfully, I got here just in time to save her.As long as we can find Lady Lucy talk to her, the truth will be revealed."

As she spoke, Sylvia looked at me meaningfully, which made me break into a cold sweat.

Anger surged through my veins.

For the first time in my life, I was trumped by a mere slave.

"What the hell are you talking about? I already said I didn't do it.What can't you understand about that?"

"I didn't say you were the mastermind, Prince Richard.Why are you so agitated? Is the guilt getting to you?" Sylvia laughed cynically.

The disdain on her face could be compared to that of Rufus.

"You're nothing but a slave! So learn your place and shut your mouth!"

I was so angry that I nearly pounced on her and beat the crap out of her.But my father was here, so I had to behave.
