Chapter 337 Defeat


    Rufus'' POV:


    When ir walked by, we exchanged nces.


    I was able to understand what he was trying to convey. For some reason, Peter must have decided


    to turn his back on Richard, and that was why ir brought him here.


    Peter was in terrible condition. He hadpletely lost one of his arms. There was a wound on his


    face so deep that bones could be seen through it.


    But without even looking at Peter, Richard immediately told our father that he had no idea who this


    man was.


    Sylvia retorted angrily, "Peter told me himself that he worked for you from the very beginning. He


    even lurked around the school to keep an eye on me and Rufus."


    "I don''t understand what you''re saying. I''ve never seen this man in my life until this moment!"


    Richard was determined to y dumb to the end.


    Peter then raised his head and red at Richard. Finally, he spoke up and revealed the truth. Not


    only did he enumerate every single detail of Richard''s sinister n, but he also confessed that


    Richard was nning to kill him as well.


    "You are cruel, Prince Richard. I did exactly what you asked me to do, but then you sent someone


    to kill me in the forbidden forest. You wanted me dead and buried with your secrets!"


    Peter was crying out in despair. What remained of his limbs were also mutted. Even if his wounds


    healed, he would never live life the same way again.


    "Your Majesty, Peter is telling the truth. When I found him in the forbidden forest, he was being


    chased by Richard''s own men. Had my subordinates found him a secondter, I''m afraid he


    wouldn''t be alive and speaking before us right now," ir added.


    Peter pounded the ground with his left fist. "I was wrong! I should never have followed Prince


    Richard from the beginning. He is nothing but a cold-blooded man! He is cruel even to his own


    people. He does not deserve to be a prince at all!" Peter''s cries echoed throughout the hall, filling


    the air with desperation.


    I was standing aside and watched with nothing but indifference in my eyes. The truth was that the


    person chasing after Peter was actually my subordinate. Back in the forbidden forest, I told ir to


    task one of our men to pretend to be on Richard''s side.


    So far, this n was turning out the way I hoped.


    This made my father very angry. He mmed the table and bellowed, "Richard! You are


    unbelievable!"


    The expression on Richard''s face immediately changed. He rushed over to Peter like a madman.


    "How much did Rufus pay you, huh? Why are you ndering me like this?"


    It looked like he was about to punch Peter, but I stopped him.


    In his anger, my fathermanded his subordinates to seize Richard and pin him to the ground.


    Unwilling to yield, Richard argued, "Father! They''re all lying to you! What about Rufus? Aren''t you


    going to punish him for breaking out of prison? And Sylvia! She is manipting animals to bend to


    her will! That''s an evil skill if I''ve ever seen one! It''s her you should be investigating. We cannot


    allow our country to be infiltrated by aliens. What if she is actually a spy?" "I only broke out of prison


    because my subordinate told me about your evil n. I had to run to the forbidden forest to rescue


    your victims. But before I could report this to father, you chased me down and even intercepted me.


    Ask the prison guards. They can testify for me." With a calm expression on my face, I gave Richard


    a look that told him he was doomed this time. "Oh, and that evil skill of Sylvia''s? Ridiculous. The


    wild wolves listen to her only because she once saved their leader. Sylvia didn''t even use them to


    hurt others. She enlisted their help in rescuing the injured."

    "Bullshit!" Richard ripped the gauze off of his body and revealed the bite marks on his skin. "Are you


    saying the wild wolves didn''t hurt anyone?"


    "You deserved it," I coldly retorted.


    Those wounds on Richard''s body were from Rin. If it weren''t for Rin that day, Richard''s n might


    have actually seeded.


    "You!"


    A guard rushed in all of a sudden. "Your Majesty, there''s a big group of injured soldiers waiting


    outside the pce to see you. They want to report to you what happened in the forbidden forest."


    "Okay, let them in."


    After receiving the king''s order, the group of soldiers walked into the hall as orderly as they could


    with their injuries.


    I was surprised that only a small half of these were my men, and the other half was Richard''s. The


    leader of this group was one of Richard''s confidants.


    The man walked ahead of the others and was the first to speak to my father.


    "Your Majesty, we are here to testify for Miss Todd. She was the one who sent the wild wolves to


    save us and carry us out of the forbidden forest. If it weren''t for Miss Todd herself, all of us would


    have probably died in that forest."
