The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 492

Chapter 492: A Daughter’s Endless Regret

Primrose woke up with sweat soaking her forehead and probably her whole body. Her chest rose and fell quickly as she gasped for air, as if she had just run around the manor again and again.

Her head throbbed, and everything felt dizzy and heavy. Maybe it was because she had stayed inside her memories for too long. But actually, she didn’t even know whether the time inside her memories was the same as in the real world.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

She heard Solene’s and Marielle’s worried voices calling her name. They sounded close to tears, as if they had been afraid she would never wake up again.

Breathing heavily, she slowly turned her head and looked around the room. She saw many people gathered around her; her doctors, her maids, her knights, and also... Leofric?

So he had really come to Illvaris. Before this, she thought he only appeared in her mind while she was unconscious.

But where were Edmund and Lazarus?

She searched the room with her eyes, but she couldn’t find them anywhere. If they weren’t back at the manor yet, then it meant she hadn’t been unconscious for very long.

When she thought about her father, her heart immediately ached. It felt as if thousands of tiny needles were stabbing her chest all at once. The painful memories from the past rushed back into her mind, and before she knew it, tears slipped down her cheeks.

"Your Majesty, what’s wrong?!" Solene asked in panic. "Doctors! Please, check on Her Majesty!"

Before any of the doctors could move closer, Leofric spoke up. "She just needs more rest," he said calmly. Then he added, "Could you all please step outside for a moment? I need to speak with Her Majesty alone."

"Sir Leofric, with all due respect, Her Majesty needs to be thoroughly checked by the doctors first!" Solene argued. "This is a serious matter."

Leofric turned to look at her. He clearly didn’t like her tone, but he forced himself to stay calm.

"I understand your worry, Lady Solene," he said. "But Her Majesty fainted because of magic. And I believe I am more capable than the doctors when it comes to this. That’s why... Please, can you let me do my job in peace by leaving the room for a while?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Solene bit her lip. She looked at Primrose, who was still pale and weak on the bed, then at the doctors standing nearby. Her hands slowly clenched at her sides.

"I..." she hesitated.

She didn’t want to leave Her Majesty, but she also knew that Leofric was not an ordinary man. He was someone who truly understood magic. In situations like this, his help might be more useful than anyone else’s.

After a few seconds of silence, Solene finally nodded. "Alright," she said. "But we will be right outside. If anything happens, call us immediately."

"Of course," Leofric said with a smile.

As the others slowly left the queen’s chamber, Primrose curled up on the bed. She pulled her knees close to her chest, making herself as small as possible, like a cocoon trying to hide from the world.

Tears were still streaming down her cheeks, and she wasn’t really paying attention to the people around her or to what Leofric had said earlier.

The sadness in her heart felt unbearably heavy, so heavy that it hurt to breathe. Every time she closed her eyes, she imagined her father’s head separated from his neck.

She could still remember the moment when her fingers touched his severed head, which had slowly begun to grow cold.

She remembered how Lazarus kept telling her that she was a good child and that she had done nothing wrong. He told her that she didn’t need to beg the Cardinal, and he had still apologized to her over and over. For not being able to keep his promise and for not being able to protect her.

"Your Majesty..." Leofric spoke again after he closed the door behind him.

He stood there for a moment, looking at her in silence, then he slowly walked toward the bed. When he saw that she didn’t react at all, he let out a tired sigh.

Without touching her, he said gently, "What you saw was just a piece of your past. Those things are already over, and... the good news is, in this life, you are Zarius’s daughter."

"A good thing?" Primrose finally lifted her face and looked at Leofric with eyes filled with anger and frustration.

"What good thing?!" she shouted. "I saw my father’s head cut off! How is that good?! He died! He died right in front of me! And I couldn’t do anything! I couldn’t save him!"
