The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 486

Chapter 486: A Father’s Gentle Love (I)

Inside the fragment of memories, Primrose felt as if she were truly living in that time again. Everything felt so real. If Leofric hadn’t appeared in front of her from time to time, she might have forgotten that she was no longer in the past.

"Your father is really something, Your Majesty," Leofric said when he saw Lazarus receiving money from a rich noble after handing over a few bottles of expensive wine. "He only met you today, yet he already wants to buy you some pretty dresses."

Primrose stood quietly beside the horse, waiting patiently for Lazarus to return. Soon, he came back with several noisy pouches filled with gold coins and a few diamonds. He was smiling so widely that he couldn’t hide his happiness. In this life, it seemed that he hadn’t been born into a rich noble family, so every bit of fortune meant a lot to him.

"Honestly, it would be more profitable for him to sell a pretty girl like you as a slave instead of selling those bottles of wine," Leofric said casually. "I guess some bandits still have a sense of right and wrong."

Primrose didn’t reply to Leofric’s words, because she kept watching her father, or rather, a different version of Lazarus that she had never seen before.

He acted so carefree, without any of the noble rules that bound him. Actually, even in her present life, Lazarus didn’t care much about noble rules. That was why he could marry Iriana, a woman from a simple background.

Still, Primrose had never imagined that he could be this free and carefree.

"I forgot to ask you... what’s your name?" Lazarus asked as he stood in front of her. He bent down a little so his eyes were level with Primrose’s.

"M-My father calls me... Rose," Primrose answered softly, without even realizing she had said it.

"Rose?" Lazarus smiled warmly. "That’s a beautiful name."

Then he gently lifted her into his arms. It felt strange, because her body was still dirty and messy. People nearby even often looked at her with odd eyes, as if she were nothing more than something unclean.

"How about we clean you up first at the inn?" Lazarus said kindly. "I already prepared some clothes for you. I’m not sure if you’ll like them, but if you don’t, we can buy new ones."

Primrose didn’t say anything. She only stared at him with her big, round eyes. She couldn’t understand why a stranger was suddenly being so kind to her, when her biological father had left her to rot in a dark cell.

She didn’t even know who her biological father was in this life. She also didn’t understand why she had suddenly been born as Lazarus’s biological daughter in another lifetime.

"We can also buy some sweets," Lazarus added as he helped her sit on the horse before climbing up himself. "Do you like cookies?"

Primrose nodded lightly, even though she didn’t really know what cookies were at that moment.

The moment Primrose stepped into the wooden bathtub filled with various cleaning products, all the dirt on her body washed away. Lazarus even washed her hair several times, making sure there wasn’t a single bit of dirt left.

She sniffed her body a few times, feeling quite happy because her skin now smelled like flowers.

"Did you never bathe in that place?" Lazarus asked gently.

Primrose shook her head. "They only let me bathe once a month," she said softly. "They said... I was wasting their water."

Even though she didn’t know much about that place, Primrose could guess that it belonged to the Cardinal.

So... was she his daughter?

But Lazarus clearly hated the Cardinal. He even spoke about him with anger and harsh words.
