Chapter 274 Inquiries


    Sylvia''s POV:


    Before heading to town, I went to a shop in the suburb and bought a cloak with a hood. I wanted to


    hide myself as much as possible.


    There were many soldiers at the gate of the city, and everyone who entered the city had to undergo


    an interrogation.


    If I went straight to the gate, I might be caught on the spot. I tightened my hood and looked around


    vigntly.


    Today was market day, so most werewolves who entered the city were pushing a cart.


    I observed for a while before I chose the most inconspicuous cart and hid in it.


    I wasn''t surprised to know that the soldiers were searching for Rufus and me everywhere in the city.


    I hid in a bucket full of hay and heard the loud noises of the soldiers outside.


    When the cart I was in was stopped, I quietly moved the bucket lid a little bit. After making sure that


    no one noticed me, I jumped out and quickly ran into an alley.


    I deftly avoided the patrolling soldiers and managed to sneak into a pharmacy.


    Fortunately, no one else was in the pharmacy except an old doctor who was reorganizing the herb


    cabs. The smell of various kinds of herbs were mixed together, creating a strange herbal


    fragrance.


    "Doctor, if a patient is in aa, what medicine can he take?" I immediately asked when I stepped


    forward.


    The old doctor pushed his sses and said, "I guess he has lost too much blood. I''ll find you some


    medicine that can replenish blood. But if he still doesn''t wake up, you have to take him to the


    hospital as soon as possible."


    "Okay, doctor. Thank you." I deliberately lowered my voice and looked at the door, making sure that


    no one was there. Then I pretended to ask casually, "By the way, why are there so many soldiers in


    the city?"


    While taking out a few boxes of medicine from the cab behind him, the old doctor sighed and


    said, "There was a murder."


    "Who was killed? Have they found the murderer?" I asked, pretending to be surprised.


    The old doctor sighed again. "A child died, and the murderer was the famous Prince Rufus. Did you


    went to the parade?"


    "I had something to do at home, so I didn''t get the chance to see the parade." I also sighed. "But on


    my way here, I heard some rumors. I wasn''t sure whether they were just gossiping or telling the


    truth though."


    "Oh my God! It was actually a very tragic scene. It was a good thing you didn''t go there." The old


    doctor shook his head, took out a bag, and slowly packed the medicine on the table. "That child was


    too little, but he was torn alive." "How did it happen? Was it during the parade?" I continued to ask.


    If it had happened at the military parade, the lycan king should have immediately known it. The


    soldiers wouldn''t possibly waste time. They would report to him as soon as possible.


    "No. The boy''s dead body was found in the dense forest in the suburb, near the swamp. It was too


    awful. The boy''s body seemed to be torn apart by a beast. Nothing was left intact. It''s said that even


    the bones of his hand were broken into pieces," the old doctor said indignantly. "Prince Rufus wasProperty ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    too cruel. That boy was the one who offered him flowers earlier. The boy''s only mistake was


    throwing a rotten egg at him. But he killed the poor little boy so brutally."


    Everything the old doctor said made me more and more suspicious.


    If the boy''s body was found near the swamp, it shouldn''t be Rufus. He had absolutely no reason to


    be there. As far as I could remember, I didn''t see any moon grass along the way leading to the


    swamp. Rufus was actually attracted by the moon grass all the way to the manor in the suburb. It


    was impossible for him to pass by the swamp.


    "At the moment, the boy''s family is crying and protesting at the gate of the pce. If they don''t get


    an exnation, they will all hang themselves at the gate of the city." The old doctor seemed to have


    never heard of such a thing before. He sighed again. "What on earth is going on with Prince Rufus?


    Has he really be a monster?" "How can you be so sure that it was Prince Rufus who killed the


    boy?" I asked him, pretending to be curious.


    "Of course, there are witnesses."
