Yarin’s POV: 𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂

My willfulness made Lily’s situation worse. Running away from home was her only way to get a temporary release, but I made it impossible.

I made Lily an ‘abductor’. Although no judge had pronounced this crime, to Aunt Teresa, who viewed her daughter through prejudiced glasses, this crime had been confirmed. Even Lily’s disappearance had become a prank that could be used to vent her dissatisfaction.

This was not a story of the boy who cried wolf. Shepherds at least cherished their flock of sheep, but Lily’s parents treated her like nothing.

“I don’t usually tell others about our family matters,” Alfred suddenly said. He was a rather tall teenager, and a year of military life was enough to make him muscular and serious. Therefore, when he became serious, it would unconsciously make others serious.

I looked at him in confusion. He explained, “Don’t air your dirty laundry. The so-called nobles always like to cling to these cliches and maintain their dignity in front of outsiders. But I don’t think you’re a person who likes to talk nonsense, Your Highness. Your concern for Lily comes from the bottom of your heart. You’re Lily’s true friend, so you defended her before my mother just now.”

“That’s right, Lily is my good friend…”

It was fine to admit it, but I blushed for no reason.

“You looked like you wanted to say something but hesitated just now. I think you have something to say to me, right?”

Alfred saw through my plans. His calm gaze fell steadily on me, waiting for me to tell him everything.

I must admit that Alfred was different from all the other people I had met in his generation. He was not as arrogant and tactful as the descendants of nobles or officials in the Lycan pack, nor was he as naive and ignorant as my classmates in school.

His calmness allowed him to transcend the limitations of his age. It was impossible to tell that he was just a seventeen-year-old teenager.

Perhaps he was indeed trustworthy?

But at the same time, his calmness deterred me. Would he agree to leave with me to look for Lily?

Just as I was stuck in dilemma, I heard Alfred say, “You want to find Lily, right, Your Highness?”

“Yes, I was just about to… Wait, how do you know?”

I looked at him in astonishment. Alfred smiled and said, “Your thoughts are almost written on your face. If I’m not wrong, you came to look for my mother just now for this, right?”

“That’s right, but Aunt Teresa doesn’t seem to agree.”

“Mother will never agree, not just because of your identity, Your Highness. She and Lily… Sigh.” Alfred sighed bitterly. “I won’t say anything else. How do you want me to help you, Your Highness?”

“You’re agreeing to the deal just like that?” I asked in disbelief.

“Of course, I have no reason to disagree. Lily is my sister, and I desperately want to find her. I don’t need to worry about your safety. Countless warriors are hiding in the shadows to protect you. I can’t see them, but I can feel them.” “What? Is someone following me?”

I immediately looked around, but there were tourists everywhere. I didn’t see any suspicious people.

I knew someone would protect me secretly, but I thought that was only when I was out of my parents’ sight. I didn’t expect that someone would be watching over me even if I stayed by their side!

“So I think we don’t have to be so secretive. No matter what we do, we won’t be able to escape His Majesty’s eyes in the end.” Alfred shrugged, his ruffian aura instantly destroying his upright and calm temperament. “But since we’re standing here, it means His Highness has at least acquiesced to our actions.” “Silent consent? But how did my mother know that we wanted to do it…What…”

I realized that this was a stupid question. Since someone in the dark could protect me without my noticing, it was unsurprising that there were strange ways to hear our conversation.

My mother knew I wanted to look for Lily but didn’t stop me. It couldn’t be because she was too busy to remember that she had a son.

My mother actually agreed, which made me feel incredible. She used to try her best to avoid putting me in danger. Why did she let me go this time?

I didn’t understand. There are more important things in front of me.

“Well, I think Lily’s disappearance is related to those criminals. I want to go to those streets to look,” I said.

Alfred shook his head. “But the criminals have already been brought to justice. We only have to wait a few minutes. The werewolf grandmasters have ten thousand ways to make them reveal traces of Lily.”

“But what if the criminals we arrested are not all criminals?” I looked at the busy streets. Everyone rejoiced, but who knew what purpose was hidden under their happy expressions?

“Out of the three streets, only two were attacked. I feel that there is something fishy about the remaining one. Since the criminals could attack the weakest place, there was no reason to let the third street go. Creating more chaos was beneficial to them, right?”

“Are you saying that there are still undiscovered criminals hiding?”
