The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327: The Queen Who Doesn’t Care About Rumor

"Oh, I ... I had never really seen you before you came here," Edmund admitted, his voice carrying a trace of guilt.

They had only crossed paths once in Primrose’s homeland, and back then, she had still been just a little girl, so he hadn’t formed a strong impression of her.

More than that, Edmund had never truly known what kind of person Primrose was while she lived in her own kingdom.

He couldn’t help but feel guilty because, in their first life, he hadn’t tried hard enough to bring her back to the Azmeria Kingdom. He had been too afraid she would hear all the terrible rumors about herself that the spies had spread among the public.

"So ... in our first life, were there many bad rumors about me too?" Primrose asked softly, almost like she was seeking reassurance from her husband. "Can I know what they were?"

"I think you’d feel uncomfortable if you heard them," Edmund said with hesitation. "The rumors ... they were awful."

Although he didn’t want to say it out loud, he accidentally thought about it in his mind.

[Some said my wife had ruined her face, so I didn’t want to touch her.]

[Some said she had slept with countless beasts behind my back.]

[Some—]

"Husband, I’m afraid those same rumors were also whispered in our palace back then." Primrose let out a small, awkward laugh. "Honestly, it wasn’t anything new to me."

Edmund froze at her words. "So ... you heard them too." His voice lowered as he continued, "Back then, I tried to find and punish the people who spread those lies about you. But even after I dealt with them, the rumors never stopped."

"I’m sorry, wife." Edmund lowered his head, and Primrose could clearly see the guilt etched on his face as he recalled their first life. "I failed you."

Primrose sighed gently and cupped his cheek. "Oh, husband, rumors are always like that. Once they spread from mouth to mouth, they can never be erased completely."

Yes, Edmund could imprison or even exile those who spread the lies, but that didn’t mean the rumors would vanish. Even if the Lycan King himself never heard them, the whispers would still sneak around, passed quietly between soldiers or maids.

"The only way to fight rumors," Primrose said calmly, "is by showing them with our own actions that we’re nothing like what they claim, and if people are too blind to see the truth ... then let them be."

People only believed what they wanted to believe. No matter how hard she tried to change their minds, if they refused to see the truth, nothing would work.

"As I said before, the only opinion that matters to me is yours," she whispered. "The rest? I don’t care."

She didn’t bother with what others believed anymore. To her, Edmund was the only one who truly mattered.

Who cared if someone claimed she liked to sleep with soldiers? As long as Edmund didn’t believe it, that was more than enough.

"I also don’t care about other people’s opinions," Edmund said firmly. "That’s why, my wife, if you ever hear ugly rumors about me ... I hope you won’t believe them either." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
