Chapter 257: The Royal Manor


    Sylvia’s POV


    Maya pointed in the direction of the suburb.


    At this time, there was almost no one along the road. And everywhere I went, there were mess and


    bloodstains. I followed these traces and quickly arrived at the gate of the city. The soldiers guarding the


    gate had disappeared.


    So I was even more certain that Rufus went out of the city.I no longer hesitated. I turned into a wolf and


    rushed to the suburb at the fastest speed.


    Yana suddenly eximed excitedly, “Moon grass! Oh, I love it the most!” Yana was excited, but she didn’t


    slow down.


    “We’lle back to get you some moon grass after finding Rufus.” The forest in the suburb was vast.


    We passed by here when Rufus took me to see Lenast time. But now that I was here again, my mood


    was totally different.


    Yana quickly passed through the forest, then there was a fork in the road, each leading to a different


    ce. One of them would lead us straight out of the imperial capital. She stopped, wanting to find some


    clues before making a choice. “Choose the road with moon grass. Trust me, Yana. I have a gut feeling


    that’s the one,” I said to Yana with certainty. “Okay, if you say so.” Yana ran directly into the road with


    moon grass. But as she ran, I felt that something was wrong.


    “Howe there is so much moon grass here?” Yana also noticed it.


    She slowed down and carefully observed the row of moon grass nted on the roadside. Although moon


    grass was not something precious, one could rarely see it in daily life. However, this road had


    inexplicably grown so much of it conspicuously. Logically speaking, this road was not a sparsely


    popted trail. And since werewolves liked moon grass so much, they should have uprooted the nts


    here.


    “This is definitely not a coincidence,” I said to Yana. Everything seemed to be carefully arranged. Was it


    to deliberately guide Rufus in this direction? “Sylvia, I know what you’re thinking. I also think that Rufus


    took this path because he was attracted to the moon grass. If I lose my mind and only rely on my instinct,N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    I might also be lured in this direction by the smell of the moon grass. After all, it’s normal for werewolves


    to be attracted to moon grass.” Yana was rarely serious. Then she changed her tone and shouted


    angrily, “It must be that bastard Richard who yed this trick! What the hell does he want to do?”


    I thought for a while and finally realized what was going on. “It’s Lucy! It was written on the note that


    Richard wanted Rufus to kill Lucy personally. This road must lead to where Lucy is. Hurry! We need to


    find Rufus as soon as possible.”


    “Yes! We can’t let that bastard seed. Let’s go!”


    This time, Yana quickened her pace. And to have evidence, she picked a moon grass and brought it with


    her. She also used my phone to record the scene along the way until she passed through a dense forest


    and arrived at the gate of a magnificent manor. 1 I became extremely vignt, observing the


    surroundings. I remembered that Rufus mentioned to me one time that there was a manor in the suburb


    for the royal members as their summer retreat. He even said that he would take me there in the summer.


    I guessed this was the manor he was talking about. Logically speaking, there should be guards and


    servants guarding and cleaning the royal manor all year round.


    But at this moment, the gate was locked, and no one was around, not even a guard. This was very


    unusual
