The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463: The Lycan King Who Didn’t Bite

He continued, "And I promise you, I will never harm those who treat my wife with such kindness and gentleness."

Edmund’s gentle words made the people around them fall into silence. Some of them even wondered in their minds whether the man standing before them was truly the bloodthirsty Lycan King they had heard about.

His handsome face alone could certainly deceive people, but they were not foolish enough to trust a beast just because he was good-looking.

In the end, it was his gentle attitude toward his wife that managed to win their hearts.

Primrose looked completely at ease beside him. There was no fear in her eyes, no stiffness in her body. She didn’t look like a prisoner, nor did she look like someone forced to stay by his side. She certainly didn’t look like a mere tool or a slave sex.

Anyone with eyes could see it clearly that they looked like a couple deeply in love, and the small, natural gestures Primrose showed toward Edmund made it obvious that he had never raised a hand against her.

[So the rumors were wrong.]

[We really shouldn’t have believed them so easily.]

[How could people spread such horrible rumors when this couple looks so sweet?]

Primrose didn’t say anything more. She only smiled, pleased that so many of them had finally realized Edmund wasn’t the monster they imagined him to be.

For a moment, the atmosphere felt awkward, until a little girl stepped forward and held out a batch of freshly baked apple pies toward Edmund.

[Aaaaaa! Why do I suddenly have to give the pies to the Lycan King?!]

The little girl stayed silent for a while, so Primrose bent down to look at her face more clearly. Then she asked gently, "Do you want to give the pies to His Majesty?"

The girl bit her lower lip and sneaked a glance at Edmund standing behind Primrose. "Y-yes."

"Then you should ask him," Primrose said with a warm smile, lightly guiding the girl closer to Edmund. But the child seemed stuck in place, her feet refusing to move. "Don’t be scared," Primrose added softly. "He won’t bite you."

[It’s all because I picked the short stick! That stupid stick! I’ll snap it later!] the girl complained in her heart.

It seemed she and her friends had made a bet, and whoever picked the short stick had to do the scariest task; talk to the Lycan King and offer him food.

These kids...

Primrose could only sigh inwardly, because they still had the nerve to turn something terrifying into a game.

The little girl lifted the pies higher and finally asked in a shaky voice, "Your Majesty... do beasts eat pies?"

Edmund froze. He hadn’t expected to be accepted by the people so quickly. More than that, he rarely interacted with children, so he didn’t know how to react.

"Yes..." he answered after a pause. His voice was low and gentle, almost a whisper. "We do eat pies."
