The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208: The Queen Who Manipulates People

Edmund stood up quickly and walked away without even looking back. His steps were fast, almost desperate, as if he couldn’t get away from her soon enough.

"No! No! Wait!" Primrose’s heart dropped the moment she realized he had completely misunderstood her reaction. "Edmund, stop! Please!"

She chased after him without thinking, her dress catching on the grass, her breath catching in her throat.

Yes, she was shocked by what he said, who wouldn’t be? But that didn’t mean she saw him as a monster.

In fact ... she didn’t feel afraid of him at all. If anything, she felt sorry for him.

She felt genuinely sad for him.

She knew Edmund wasn’t a psychopath who took pleasure in killing. She knew, deep down, the boy he used to be didn’t kill because he was cruel.

Maybe it was something he had to do to survive.

Maybe it was just an accident.

But whatever the reason was, Primrose was sure of one thing, that moment was probably the root of everything. The reason why Edmund always thought of himself as a monster.

The reason he believed he was broken. The reason he thought he didn’t deserve love.

Because from the moment he could remember, he had lived with blood on his hands ... and death at his feet.

"Edmund! Please don’t run away from me!" Primrose shouted as loud as she could, but he kept walking, pretending not to hear her.

A few soldiers who passed by turned their heads in confusion, unsure if they should step in or pretend they didn’t hear anything.

[Are they fighting? This is the first time I’ve seen them argue.]

[Is His Majesty cheating on his wife?!!]

There could be so many reasons for a couple to fight, and that was the first thing they came up with?!

If Edmund was cheating, wouldn’t he be the one chasing after her, not the other way around?

"You there!" Primrose pointed to a nearby soldier. "Yes, you! Help me—" She bent forward, hands on her knees as she tried to catch her breath because she couldn’t keep up with her husband’s pace. "Help me restrain my husband and bring him back to me."

The soldier’s face immediately turned pale. "W-what? Me?" He slowly backed away from her. "I—I don’t dare ... I really don’t dare restrain the King!"

Primrose straightened up and gave him a sharp glare. "But you do dare to ignore your Queen’s order?"

The poor soldier glanced back and forth between her and Edmund, who was getting farther and farther away. He looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just stood there like a statue.

[Why does Her Majesty look scary too tonight?!]

[Is His Majesty really cheating on her? Is that why she’s this angry?!]

Primrose let out a frustrated sigh and put her hands on her hips. "Fine. Forget it." She straightened her posture and exhaled hard. "There’s no point in chasing him if he doesn’t want to be caught."

If Edmund really didn’t want to be caught by her, then no one, not even the entire palace guard would be able to catch him.

Besides, if he was trying to avoid her, he might not even go back to his room, and even if he did, there was no guarantee he’d open the door for her.

But would Primrose give up trying to talk to her husband? Not a chance.

She had sworn to herself, sworn to the gods, that she wouldn’t let misunderstandings ruin her marriage in this lifetime.

Her eyes slowly shifted toward the lake near the stables. She had never been particularly interested in the lake because it wasn’t exactly eye catching.

It was surrounded by wild grass, mostly used by horses for resting or by young soldiers learning how to swim.

Still, she had an idea.
