Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 422 Infidelity
Leonard’s POV:
I looked at the smiling girl in front of me and couldn’t help but sigh contentedly. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I’d get to sit and chat happily with Sylvia one day.
“You and Edwin are on good terms,” she said suddenly. Sylvia tilted her head and looked at me curiously. “You mentioned he grew up with you. Did you mean that you’ve never been separated?”
I nodded. “Yes. When we were young, we went to military school together and even fought battles together. We’re not related by blood, but we might as well be brothers.”
Sylvia pouted enviously. “How nice. Such a friendship is hard to come by. But he’s a lot like Owen, am I right? They’re both always so serious.”
I shook my head and chuckled, thinking about how Owen and Edwin used to bicker with each other every day. “You couldn’t be more wrong. They both just pretend to be serious in front of the younger ones like you. Neither of them is serious at all. Actually, they’re both chatterboxes!”
“No way!” Sylvia shook her head in disbelief.
Later, she asked a lot of more questions about Edwin. Gradually, I began to sense that Sylvia was after something.
“Edwin must be a father, right? Does he have a child around the same age as Warren?” Sylvia asked with great interest.
I looked into her clear, doe-like eyes and felt conflicted. I wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. “Why do you ask?”
Sylvia stammered, “I… I’m just… Curious.”
Her unnatural expression confirmed my guess. My eyes went wide with shock. Damn it! How could Sylvia have a crush on Edwin?!
I awkwardly cleared my throat and quickly changed the topic. “When you have time, you should practice fighting with Rufus. He’s the strongest werewolf in your generation, even better than me in my prime. I’m already a thing of the past.”
Sylvia nodded in agreement. “Rufus has been giving me some tips.”
“He’s been integral to maintaining the empire’s stable development over the past few years. The vampire race has come to fear Rufus. It can be said that he’s the werewolf race’s trump card,” I sincerely praised Rufus.
After spending just a few days with Sylvia, I thought that she and Rufus were a perfect match. What the hell was wrong with her? Why was she interested in Edwin? If Rufus knew this, there would only be trouble. Rufus would never tolerate an unfaithful mate.
I continued praising Rufus deliberately, hoping that Sylvia would give up on Edwin.
As we chatted, the sun dipped in the horizon. It was time for us to go our separate ways. But before we parted, Sylvia suddenly invited me to dinner at Rufus’ palace. “I really appreciate all your help these days. Please come,” Sylvia begged.
I couldn’t help but sigh internally. She was such a good girl. I really hoped that she would forget about Edwin.
Just then, Sylvia smiled and added, “Oh, and please take Edwin with you.”
I nearly failed to keep my composure. How dare she?! How could she invite Edwin to Rufus’ palace? Did she want Rufus to know of her infidelity?
I replied as vaguely as possible, saying I’d go to the dinner but not promising whether I’d bring Edwin or not. Sylvia nodded and bounded off happily. She probably thought I was bringing Edwin.
I closed my eyes and pressed my fingertips against my aching temple. To my surprise, when I brought it up with Edwin, he insisted on going with me.
I couldn’t help but roar, “What exactly is your plan?”
Edwin glanced at me calmly and teased, “I’ll make sure you won’t eat anything that you shouldn’t eat.”
This rendered me speechless.
Once upon a time, I attended another pack’s banquet. There, a particular dish was served—spicy rabbit head. I loved it so much that I couldn’t help but eat a lot of it. As a result, my stomach bled and I was sent to ICU.
From then on, whenever there was a banquet, Edwin would go with me no matter what.
Things would’ve been fine if he was coming with me just for this reason.
But when I saw him dress up so carefully for the dinner with Sylvia and Rufus, I couldn’t help but feel that something was off…
