The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 508

Chapter 508: The Lycan King Who Deceives The Foolish King

Fortunately, it wasn’t strange for husbands to act that way toward their wives. Most of them saw their wives as their property. Because of that, they would do anything to make sure no one else touched what they believed belonged to them.

In the past, some men who went to war even forced their wives to wear chastity belts because they were afraid their wives would cheat. That dark period caused many women to suffer infections, and some of them even died because of it.

Even though people no longer do things that extreme, the mindset hasn’t fully disappeared. Some men still ask others to keep an eye on their wives whenever they go out. If a wife disappears without telling anyone, she might even be punished.

Well, Edmund also always kept an eye on her, and... yeah, it was borderline obsessive. But at least he wouldn’t do anything if Primrose deliberately covered her tracks or didn’t wear her ring.

Besides, that ring was also useful in the beastland, where danger could appear at any time.

"He asked me to do something bad with him," Primrose finally said. It was a lie, and she knew it. She said it on purpose. "I don’t think those words are appropriate when he’s using your face."

Averon narrowed his eyes. "And what did you say to him?"

"I rejected him, of course," Primrose replied calmly. "I would never have an affair behind my husband’s back."

[But that’s because she was being watched by others,] Averon thought. [If she were alone, would she still reject a man who had my face?]

Primrose almost choked when she caught that thought.

Instead of worrying that someone was trying to ruin his name, he was busy wondering what she would do if she were alone.

What a jerk!

Of course, she would still reject him even if she were alone! Besides, who would get turned on by looking at Averon’s average face?

Even if an unbelievably handsome man asked her out, she would still choose her husband because her husband was not only handsome, but kind and loyal. Therefore, she would be a fool to throw that away.

"Your Majesty, shouldn’t you focus on finding this person?" Edmund asked calmly. "If he commits a crime in your kingdom, you might be blamed for it."

Averon let out a breath. "Yes, I should place a bounty on him. But if he can truly change faces, it won’t be easy to catch him. And... you might need to be careful too."

Edmund frowned. "Why?"

Averon looked at Edmund in disbelief. "Because... he can change faces. Doesn’t that mean you are also prone to being accused of his crimes?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

[I don’t even know who that person is... but instead of targeting me, wouldn’t it be more interesting to frame the Lycan King?] Averon thought bitterly. [If the Lycan King is accused of a serious crime, then maybe I can take Primrose as one of my concubines.]

This man was truly sick!

He was actually wishing for another man’s downfall just so he could steal that man’s wife.

"You don’t have to worry about me," Edmund said. "I have made sure to always stay near other people while I am in this kingdom."

Oh, Primrose just realized that.

During their stay in Azmeria Kingdom, Edmund had never gone anywhere alone. He was always with her, with Lazarus, or with guards from the manor.

He had been building an alibi. He was making sure people saw him and making sure he could prove where he was at any moment.

If Primrose’s words were considered irrelevant in court, at least he could use Lazarus’s words or other people’s testimonies.

More than that, the people in Illvaris had also begun to grow fond of Edmund since he joined their celebrations and prevented bandits from robbing Miss Talia’s bakery.

He had even shown other people at the banquet that he was a decent man and a loving husband.

All this time, Primrose thought that she had to try her best to help her husband gain people’s trust, but without her realizing it, her husband had also been doing his own part to prevent others from framing him.

"But honestly, there’s something that’s been bothering me, Your Majesty," Edmund spoke again to Averon. "You know, I once caught a soldier who helped the bandits rob businesses around the kingdom."

Averon seemed to remember. "Ah, that one." He waved a hand lightly. "You don’t need to worry about him. He was just a traitor. He killed himself before he entered the dungeon, so there’s nothing left to investigate."
