Chapter 260: Eavesdropping

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

I tugged on Sasha’s sleeve, almost wanting to pull her along and escape.

Even if I didn’t know the rules of the palace, I knew what kind of existence the Lycan King was. He was the king of all werewolves, representing supreme authority. It was a provocation to knock on the door.

But soon, I heard footsteps behind the door. I froze in place. Following the sound of the door being opened from the inside, I felt my heart stop beating.

At that moment, I thought in despair, ‘I won’t become one of those werewolves who are expelled on the first day I come to the palace, will I?’

“Hey. Cecily, why do you keep looking at the ground? Come in quickly.” I only raised my head when I heard Sasha’s voice.

Then, I realized that the person standing before me wasn’t the Lycan King. Instead, it was someone I was pretty familiar with – Samuel.

Samuel frowned at Sasha and said, “What are you doing here?”

Then, he turned to me and said in an emotionless voice, “His Highness asked you to stay in the room. Why did you follow her out?”

“We’re here to borrow something from you,” said Sasha, ignoring Samuel’s coldness.

“No,” Samuel said.

“I haven’t even said what I want to borrow, and you’re already rejecting me,” Sasha said to Samuel with wide eyes.

“No matter what it is. You should not have come here,” Samuel said. “Please leave.”

I stood at the side and looked at Sasha, then at Samuel. I couldn’t help but ask, “What is this place?”

Samuel looked at me coldly. He had no intention of answering my question.

I looked at Sasha pleadingly. Sasha spread her hands and said, “This is the palace’s security center. Samuel was in charge of the palace’s security. I’m looking for him because I want something my teacher made.”

I was still a little confused. What did this have to do with her saying that she would take me to Michael?

Sasha winked at me to stop me from asking any more questions.

“Mr. Thomas’s work has already been put to use. It’s impossible to hand it over to you. Please go back,” Samuel said.

“Then, I’ll take a look and do some research, right?” Sasha said, not giving up.

“This is the security center. Unauthorized people are not allowed to enter,” Samuel said.

“Come on, Samuel. I’ve lived in this palace for decades, and there’s no place I can’t enter,” Sasha said without holding back. “As for Cecily, you know that she is Michael’s mate. Even if she is not officially crowned yet, she has the authority to enter and leave the palace freely.”

Samuel stood there in silence.

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it that I can do as I please. Come, Cecily.” Sasha waved and called me over.

I observed Samuel’s expression again. He didn’t seem to have any intention of retorting. It appeared that what Sasha said just now was reasonable. He had no reason to stop us.

I followed Sasha into the room. A display screen on the entire wall showed the locations in every corner of the palace. Sasha picked up the two earphones on the table and handed me one. Then, she pressed two buttons on the table.

I put on my headphones. At first, there was only the sound of an electric current, then two people’s voices came through.

I looked at Sasha in surprise. Sasha looked pointedly at Samuel and then gestured to me to keep quiet. I nodded in understanding and listened carefully to the conversation in my headphones.

“I heard that Joanna is also involved in this. What’s up with this child?” An old but dignified voice said.

“Just like I said in the report, she did something that can not be undone.” It was Michael.

I looked at Sasha in surprise. Sasha winked at me and smiled.

“It’s a pity. She was a very good candidate. I thought you would choose her to be the Princess Consort, and her family would be happy to promote this.”

The majestic voice sighed. “But it doesn’t matter. There are many suitable girls in the royal family. I will choose a noble and moral girl for you. You can select one of them to be your mate.”

My heart twitched with his words.

I finally understood who Michael was talking to. He was the King, the true ruler of this country.

But why did he say he wanted to introduce Michael to other girls? Didn’t he know that I was Michael’s mate?

My heart kept beating faster and faster. I tried to calm down, but I found that something was wrong. It wasn’t just my emotions that made my heart beat faster, but also Michael’s anger.
