Lycan King's Regret: Punished The Wrong Daughter novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71: 71- What’s So Funny?

Arabella Toussaint:

Jasmine held my face, forcing me to make eye contact with her, "Listen carefully. You can’t afford to make a mistake."

I moved back, freeing myself from her grip, "You already said that. What’s next?"

"Okay..." She whispered, her sharp eyes roaming behind me, "First, you’ll head to the Southern Gate. Don’t worry about the guards. They’ll already be distracted. A friend of mine will take care of that. Don’t stop. Don’t ask questions. Just walk out."

I swallowed, nodding my head, "What if... someone calls my name? What about Jacob, my bodyguard?"

"Your bodyguard will be handled. If you hear your name, keep walking. No one will stop you."

I wished I had even half of her confidence. She snapped her fingers in front of my face, "Be attentive, Lady Arabella. After you leave the palace grounds, take the left trail and keep walking until you reach the old oak tree."

She then reached into her pocket and pulled out a small piece of paper with a rough sketch, "You’ll find an old black Sedan parked there. Nobody will pay attention to it."

I nodded, trying to remember every detail. Just then the restroom door suddenly swung open, and a female warrior walked inside.

I tried to suppress the gasp and started fixing my hair, looking at the mirror. Without missing a beat, Jasmine pulled out her phone and leaned casually against the wall, scrolling through it as if she had been texting someone.

I tried to control my hammering heart and turned toward the sink to switch on the tap.

Come on. Act normal. Don’t be a fool!

I washed my hands and glanced at my reflection in the mirror, pretending to fix the loose strands of hair around my face. The warrior came out of the stall without paying attention to either of us. After washing her hands, she left, closing the door behind her.

Only then did I breathe I’d been holding.

Jasmine slipped her phone back into her pocket and shot me an unimpressed look.

"Why are you acting so scared?" She hissed and stepped closer, "If you panic that easily, you’ll never make it to Lucien’s room."

My stomach twisted. She was right. I needed to get a grip. In an instant she was back in her no-nonsense mode.

"So where were we?" She thought for a moment.

"The car..." I tried reminding her.

"Ah, yes. The car. So... the driver knows you’re coming. Get in, don’t ask him anything and don’t tell him anything... especially your name. No need to talk to him."

I took a slow breath, "Then?"

"He’ll drop you off at the main gate of the human city. Once you reach there, get out of the car and let him leave you. Understand?" She asked me sternly in her Head Warrior tone.

I quickly nodded my head, "After that?"

She shrugged, "After that? Disappear!"

My stomach fluttered. It sounded so simple yet so hard. What if it didn’t work?

"What if it didn’t work?" I blurted the words before I could stop them.
