The Lycan King's Rejected Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

Chapter 62 I grinned satisfied as Nikkini began to shake and mention Herley’s name. So fickle, exactly what I need to help me convict these criminals. As soon as Nikkini mentioned Herley’s name, Alisa began to shake her head slowly with her eyes wide in fear. This was exactly why I had given the gag order. I would have given her a reassuring look but that would be hypocritical. Arnou looked at me softly and I knew he was requesting permission to speak. I nodded my head slightly and waited to hear what he had to say. “You cruel woman, you do realize that the person you’re accusing is a member of my court. Falsely accusing her is a crime worthy of heavy punishment,” I was shocked at Arnou’s defense of Herley. What was wrong with this family, why did they insist on keeping Herley around even though she was evil? Even now, that they are faced with evidence that Herley had tried to kill me, Alisa still looked immensely relieved that Arnou had spoken out in Herley’s defense. If I di

Chapter 64We all sat waiting in anticipation for the witness Nikkini claimed she had.When I asked her the name of the maid, she was unable to tell me. That’s understandable; I too don’t know the name of all the maids in the palace.Luckily she was able to explain the maid’s features and tell us that the girl was a kitchen maid.Herley didn’t seem rankled at the fact that Nikkini had a witness who had seen them together. She seemed quite smug.“Arnou, do you know who exactly Nikkini described?” I asked him in a quiet voice as I tried to piece together a reason for Herley’s smugness.“I have an idea who it is but I can’t be sure,” He whispered back.I began to panic as the guards with the maid arrived at the meeting room and their entrance was announced.“Arnou who?” I demanded in a quiet panic.“Here she is,” He replied as the doors to the meeting room opened up and two guards entered hauling a small figure between them.She seemed familiar and I squinted my eyes trying to figure out

“Alisa I don’t see why you think you deserve the same punishment. Do I need to remind you that this woman tried to kill me?” I asked Alisa incredulously with hurt in my voice.I felt so pained because Alisa and I had grown incredibly close recently and I thought of her as the sister I never had.“But it wasn’t proven that she worked with Nikkini,” Alisa whispered with tears streaming down her eyes.“Please,”“Alisa, be truthful. Just the fact that she’s a suspect and both Eden and Alisa testified against her makes it a probability. And you supporting her even in a potential situation is very hurtful to me. So please stop,” I replied to Alisa as I pulled my arm back from her.She nodded tearfully and returned to her seat.“That’s it?! Alisa, are you really not going to fight more for me? “ Herley cried out in a hurt voice.Alisa sniffled but didn’t reply to Herley.It warmed my heart, despite how much she loved Herley, she was taking my side.“Really? No one? Somebody, please say some

I lay on my bed with my eyes closed. Sleep hadn't come to lull me away yet and the events of the day kept running through my mind.I heard the sound of my door opening and I opened one eye to see who it was that had come into my room.It was Arnou.“How are you feeling now?” he asked softly.I sighed and sat up gently.“That's all everybody keeps asking me. What am I supposed to say? That I'm not fine?” I replied weakly.Arnou strode towards me softly and began to remove his shirt.“I know, you're not so happy with me because I supported Herley earlier,” Arnou said as he pulled the chair from my dresser and sat beside the bed.“Yeah, I'm not exactly happy about that,” I replied honestly.“But can you make me understand why? I understand that the both of you don't like each other. That's understandable, I mean I don't expect you to like everyone. But what exactly has she done to make you hate her so much?” Arnold asked me carefully.I could tell that he was trying his best not to trig

“You can come in,” I called out in a loud voice.The door pushed open and Gabriel came inside.Arnou shot me an inquisitive look and I smiled at him.“Good afternoon queen of queens. Lycan,” Gabriel greeted with a bow.“Afternoon,” I replied pleasantly.“Do you have the information I requested?” I asked him directly as I motioned for Arnou to pass me a glass of water.“Not entirely, but I have some information. It's all here,” Gabriel said as he reached into his waistcoat pocket and retrieved a piece of paper.I stretched out my hand and he handed me the paper.I frowned as I tried to make sense of his squiggly handwriting.“And what am I supposed to be looking at?” I asked with distaste.“I'm sorry high Luna, I don't know you would request it so soon. I would have written it out clearly,” he apologizedI waved his apology away and tried to read the paper.“So? Did you find out where she's from?” I asked him while I tried to make sense of the information on the piece of paper.“Who?”
