The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249: He’d Cut Off His Legs for Me

Edmund looked unsure, his brows furrowing slightly like he wasn’t convinced. It was the kind of look people wore when they heard something that sounded too good to be true.

To be fair, she hadn’t actually talked to Raven about it yet. They simply hadn’t had the time because after the Marquess’s death, Primrose had to return to the palace immediately because of the tiger tribe’s sudden attack.

Now, worry started creeping into her chest.

She had promised Hazelle she would help free her. She couldn’t bear the thought of letting her down now ... especially if Raven wasn’t actually able to break the seal.

"I ... is that really impossible?" Primrose asked hesitantly.

Salem had once said it was, but he also mentioned that Raven had managed to break a few slave seals in the past. Even so, Primrose knew she probably shouldn’t have given someone hope so easily. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

But at that moment, she did it because she thought it might be her only chance to speak with Hazelle privately without Silas around to interrupt.

Still, maybe she shouldn’t have told Hazelle too soon.

"No ... it’s not exactly impossible," Edmund finally said. "If we know the secret words used by the person who cast the seal, it’s actually easy to break. But if we don’t know the words, then we’ll need someone with real expertise to destroy it."

"I don’t know much about Lady Raven’s abilities," he added, "but if the Marquess of Moonshadow wanted to marry her, then she must be incredibly skilled. Besides that, since you believe in her, then I will too."

That wasn’t the kind of solid confirmation Primrose had been hoping for, but the way he said it, so sweet and sincere, made her heart soften anyway.

It reminded her how lucky she was to have a husband who trusted her so deeply.

"If you really want Sir Vesper and Lady Raven here as soon as possible," Edmund said, "I can send some soldiers to Moonshadow now. They might arrive by sunset, depending on the situation."

Primrose went quiet for a moment, thinking.

The beasts truly could travel great distances much faster than a carriage would.

She made a mental note to start building her strength in case one day she’d have to travel without a carriage.

"That sounds good," she said with a smile. "Thank you, husband."

Edmund was still kneeling on the floor beside her bed, and no matter what she said, it didn’t look like he had any intention of getting up.

Even though she’d hinted that her illness might be caused by poison, not exhaustion, he still blamed himself.

[If it really was poison,] he thought bitterly, [how could I have missed it?]

[Why do I keep failing to protect her?]

[What kind of husband am I?]

[I’m such a failure,] he thought, his heart sinking. [I’m nothing but a loser.]

"Husband!" Primrose suddenly cupped his face and gently lifted it until their eyes met.
