The Lycan King's Fate Calling

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. "Okay, I'll shut up now." Sylvia raised her hand and made a motion as though she was zipping her mouth shut, but the mockery in her eyes was painfully obvious.
But my father didn't seem to notice. He was busy narrowing his eyes at me in suspicion. He didn't say anything more. Instead, he quietly ordered his attendants to look for Lucy.
I hurriedly volunteered my service. "Father, please let me look for Lucy too. I don't know what might've happened, but I think Lucy must be in a state of panic. She must want to see me."
My father smiled unnaturally and placed his hand on my shoulder. Squeezing my shoulder tightly, he said in a domineering tone, "No need. I'll explain everything to her when we find her." "Okay," I said in a trembling voice. I nearly lost control of myself.

The way he was behaving led me to believe he didn't believe a word I was saying. Maybe he had seen through all my little tricks. Alas, I was too naive! The only thing I @uld de how was pray that my
my men would find
Lucy first and kill her to keep her mouth shut. I didn't feel an ounce of guilt towards Lucy's baby. Without that bastard, I still had a chance at the throne.

"Don't worry. I'm sure we'll find Lucy safe and sound with the baby in her belly."
My father patted me on the shoulder meaningfully.
I forced a smile. "Yes, Father. Lucy is a blessed she-wolf. I just know she'll be
fine."
