The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 534

Rufus' POV:

Geoffrey's story left me shell-shocked.

I only knew that this place had once been ceded because I had accidentally overheard my father, King Ethan, talking about it.

But later, Leonard and I launched a war against the vampire race and won. Our victory let us successfully take back the ceded territory from the vampire race.

At the time, the royal family had sent envoys to check on the state of this place, and we had received a report that the life here was in order. It was said that the vampires hadn't treated these defeated slaves too harshly, and that the werewolves here lived and worked in peace after we retrieved the lands.

This later become the foundation for the peace agreement between the werewolf race and the vampire race.

But what Geoffrey was saying now was completely different from what the royal family knew.

What the hell had happened?

"For the sake of the rest of us, my father had no choice but to turn a blind eye to my mother's situation. The vampires ended up torturing her to death. Then, everyone worked together to fight off the vampires desperately until the construction of the wall was finally completed. This hard wall is easy to defend and hard to attack. That was why we had a little breathing room for a while." Geoffrey's voice became lower and lower, as though retelling the tale of this pack's history was slowly suffocating him.

"Why didn't you ask the royal family for help?" I couldn't help but ask. "We never gave up on you. Even now, we were sent here to support the border and make it better."

"That's right. We really don't know anything about what you said. If you didn't tell us just, I'm afraid we still wouldn't have known anything," Flora added with a frown.

"You hid the truth and kept playing dirty tricks on us. Even if you encountered hardships in the past, that doesn't justify your crimes today," Harry shrugged unsympathetically. "If there was a problem, you should've just said so. We came here to solve the problems. We just wanted to help you. So why didn't you ask the royal family for help from the very beginning?"
