The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 967

Crystal's POV:

After everyone left, Rufus walked over and finally answered my question. "Beryl's clothes got stained while she was eating. I asked the maid to take her back to her room and get changed."

"Beryl, is she..." My voice trailed off. I wanted to ask if she was getting used to living in the palace, but judging from Rufus' protective attitude towards her, I figured her life here must be very comfy

"Don't worry. The maids I assigned to look after Beryl were all carefully selected. They won't do anything bad to her. Those maids just now are of the lowest rank. It's my fault they aren't disciplined and even talk nonsense here. It won't happen again." Rufus thought I was worried about the maids hurting Beryl, so he reassured me.

"I trust you, Your Majesty," I said with a smile. Since Rufus decided to keep Beryl with him, I knew that he cared about her very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't spoil her like this.

"I took Arron to see the queen mother today." Afraid that Rufus would misunderstand my reason for being here, I took the initiative to explain.

"My mother really adores Arron. You should take him here more often."

I nodded wordlessly, feeling a little bitter in my heart. It was a pity that I would be leaving after a few days...

"Shall we head back? Beryl should have changed her clothes by now," Rufus suggested.

I quietly followed Rufus back inside.

On the way, I asked him in a seemingly casual manner. "You seem very tolerant of Beryl. I thought that after finding out she's my daughter, you'd—"

I paused, not knowing how to say the rest without sounding offensive.

One eyebrow raised, Rufus turned to me and snorted, "I'd what? Eat her?"
