A Mate For The Last Lycan novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227: THE TRUTH ABOUT THE LYCAN

The morning before the ceremony, where Zuri was in the middle of the preparation with two personal maids that helped her to get into her dress and styled her hair, she was informed that Sir Lorent wanted to see her.

Sir Lorent was the king’s younger brother, but also his advisor, someone whom king Amidas protected to the point, he was willing to step down from his throne for. This was how Zuri made a deal with Jasmine.

Giving Jasmine an idea for her father to step down from the throne on his own, in order to get Khaos’s mercy for her uncle, since Sir Lorent involved in the massacre of the old dynasty three decades ago. He should have been executed along with the other offender yesterday, but because of the deal, he managed to keep his life.

"Great Queen Zuri."

Sir Lorent bowed down in front of Zuri when she allowed him to enter the room. She was curious what he wanted to talk about.

"Sir Lorent," Zuri greeted him with the same way and then waved her hand, indicating for all the maids to leave the room.

However their conversation turned out, it was not for them to hear.

"May I know why I am graced with your presence?" Zuri stood up. The dress felt heavy on her body and this restricted her movement, but she liked the golden color. It was the color of the old dynasty and Khaos would wear the same color as well.

"I want to thank you for saving my life," Sir Lorent said. He had this heavy and deep voice, like someone with wisdom and a pair of sharp eyes. He looked like a younger version of king Amidas, but with a thick wickedness behind his calm façade.

Zuri was alerted. This man might not attack her physically, but the fact he was here already raised a suspicion. It was enough to put her on guard.

However, the voices in her head chose this moment to start talking. From the corner of her eyes, she could see her father was standing with his arms crossed and mumbled something.

"I didn’t do anything."

"I know that you have offered the solution to make my brother step down from his throne in order to save my life."

Zuri raised her brows, she was not sure whether this was him being thankful, or he was mocking her. And as if he could see the doubt on Zuri’s face, he explained himself a little bit better.

"I am here to say my gratitude for you, Great Queen Zuri." Sir Lorent bent his body, his gesture looked genuine, but for someone like him, it could mean anything.

"What do you want, sir Lorent. I didn’t do that out of kindness of my heart." Zuri didn’t think there was even kindness in her heart. "Make it quick, I have a ceremony to attend."

Lorent nodded, he understood they didn’t have all day for sweet talk.

"I am here to show my gratitude. Because you have saved my life, I will save yours."

Zuri tilted her head, she crossed her arms and looked at him without saying anything, prodding him to explain with that statement.
