The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Laura's POV:
"All right." Rufus didn't say anything more and agreed to hold a ball to choose a wife.
I nodded, feeling very satisfied with my decision. "In this way, I can personally evaluate every woman and know more about her character and personality."
But I just hoped Rufus could choose a girl by himself, so that I would just need to stand by and watch. That way, if Rufus ended in an unhappy marriage, I wouldn't be blamed for it.
"It's settled then. We're holding a grand ball." I was so excited that I began to chatter about how we would plan it.
Initially, Rufus wasn't too enthusiastic with the idea of holding a grand ball. But with my persuasion, he finally gave in.
I knew that this news would spread like a wildfire in the entire empire. After all, the lycan king was holding a ball for him to choose his wife personally.
"In that case... The day of the military parade is approaching. Coincidentally, Alphas from all the packs are coming, which means they could also bring their daughters along. It's like hitting two birds with one stone." Rufus suggested.
I didn't think too much and agreed. Anyway, it was perfect like this. There would be a dinner party after the military parade and we could just turn it into a ball this time.
The Alphas, I assumed, must be very happy, and this year's military parade ceremony should be very lively.
Rufus' face darkened at the mention of the parade. "I just received the news that the Alpha of the border pack will not come this year."
"Perhaps the Alpha is just really busy at the moment with pressing matters. The border pack has always been unstable and the Alpha has to stay in the pack," I said casually. Of course Sylvia wouldn't come. Not only this year, but also in the future. The capital city would surely be packed and crowded during the military parade. It was hard to guarantee that no one would recognize Sylvia. More than that, there was a risk of Rufus seeing her and triggering his memory back.
Although I took Rufus' statement to be a passing remark, I was taken aback when he immediately scoffed. "The Alpha of the border pack suddenly took office five years ago. She didn't have any qualifications or merits that I could recall. How could she be qualified to take that position in the first place? I have always suspected that there is someone behind it."
An uncomfortable smile crossed my face. "What are you talking about? Your father has seen that Alpha before. She's a young lady with integrity, competence, and good manners. She has brought peace and prosperity to the border over the past few years. A competent subordinate like her is a treasure."
Rufus lowered his eyes and asked with an unfathomable expression, "Really? But why has she never come here to the imperial capital to pay her king a visit?"
I was stunned into silence, almost losing control of my expression and wanting to scold him. Since he had lost his memories, Rufus has been increasingly challenging to work with. It was hard to hide anything from him.

Still, what he said made sense. Since Sylvia assumed the position of Alpha, she had remained hidden in the
border. It was really strange that an Alpha had never come to the capital city to visit the lycan king. "I'm having the impression that she doesn't take the royal family seriously at all." Rufus sneered and convicted Sylvia. sah th FindNI.n't website on Gøøgle to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest chapter there!

That left me at a loss for words.
"How could it be possible? That's the Alpha chosen by your father. I'm sure your father had done a thorough background check on her. There won't be a problem with her character and identity. As for not taking the royal family seriously, that's too ludicrous. Don't you believe your father's judgment?" The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest chapter there!

"It's not that I don't believe him. I'm
just concerned that my father's illness prevented him from making sound judgments about other people at the time. It's not that I'm thinking too much. The border pack is far away from the imperial palace. It would be easy to pull something sneaky behind my back. For some
reason, I have a bad feeling that Alpha might rebel against me," Rufus
said in a determined tone with his

Anxious after hearing him, I couldn't hold the cup steadily so I hit it on the table
and it chipped. Oh, god! It was an antique I had treasured for many years!
