The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 1140

Crystal's POV:

It was now obvious that the one behind this was the person who provoked the groom.

I rushed forward and questioned the man kneeling on the ground, "Who ordered you to take Arron away?"

The groom's face was stiff. His tanned face was severely grazed and bleeding because of Rufus' kick. He tightened his lips and pretended not to hear my question.

Irritated, I paced around the room frantically. I didn't know how to get the truth out of him.

To calm me down, Rufus patted my shoulder with his hand. Then, he looked at the groom with disdain and questioned, "Are you going to continue to be stubborn?"

The groom raised his head and eyes at Rufus. His face twitched ferociously. He blinked, but still remained silent.

"Your Majesty, I have nothing to say."

Rufus flew into a rage. He pointed at the groom and shouted, "Let's see whether you can keep your mouth shut when you're in prison!"

After that, he threw another kick at the groom. The man was hurled to the ground and rolled for a short distance before coming to a stop.

Stunned, I stared at the irate Rufus in disbelief.

Rufus wasn't a man who would resort to brute violence.

A man, clearly distressed, ran up at this moment and kneeled before Rufus.

"Your Majesty, what he did has nothing to do with me! Please don't kill me!"

Rufus approached me and said in a low voice, "I've

heard that this elder is quite a hermit and seldom quarrels with servants. Yet his actions today contradict what the others have said. Perhaps he regularly beats his servants behind closed doors. In that case, it's possible that this has nothing to do with this elder. It seems that the groom may have already harbored a grudge against him. It might be that he is taking this opportunity to extract revenge. This hypocritical elder may not be the one behind the whole thing."

I understood what Rufus said, but I was completely befuddled at this point. Who else might have fit the description of a terrible guy if not this elderly person? Where on earth was my son? A myriad of thoughts crowded into my mind.

Rufus waved at the bodyguards beside him and ordered, "Throw this groom into prison and interrogate him harshly until he tells us who is behind it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guards picked up the groom off the floor and dragged him out the door.

"Don't worry about it." Rufus tilted my head back and said, "I promise I'll take care of this and find your son."
