The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 524

Chapter 524: You Are Not My Equal (I)

Aster’s face slowly darkened as she listened. "They... they did that to the poor girl? And our Emperor didn’t truly give justice to the beastkins?!"

Primrose let out a soft sigh. "No... he didn’t." She paused for a moment, then added, "We’ve never even heard anything about it all this time, right?"

Aster’s face turned red, and she looked like she was about to blow steam out of her head right then and there.

"That’s so unfair!" she shouted, stomping her foot. "Rosie, it’s really not fair! We’re always fed with terrible news about beasts, but when it comes to humans, those stories just disappear like nothing happened!"

Among all of Primrose’s close friends, Aster had the softest heart and the strongest sense of justice. So it wasn’t surprising at all that she looked this furious after learning the truth.

"It really isn’t fair," Primrose said softly. "But... please lower your voice."

"That’s alright," Edmund said suddenly. He sat on the couch in front of Primrose and Aster. "I have shielded this room with magic, so our voices can’t be heard from outside."

The moment she heard his voice, Aster quickly turned toward him. Her eyes filled with tears, and before she could stop herself, she started crying.

"Your Majesty... I’m so sorry for thinking you were a monster when we first met!" Aster said, her voice shaking. "Cassandra and Ilyana would apologize too if they knew about all of this."

"You were only trying to protect my wife back then, Lady Aster," Edmund replied calmly. "I don’t hold any hatred toward you, so please don’t worry."

[Dear Heaven! The Lycan King is truly forgiving!] Aster thought, her heart filled with emotion. [How could I and the others ever call him a foul beast? At this point, our kind are the real foul beasts!]

Primrose had thought about that for a long time as well. But sadly, it wasn’t easy for a race that had been seen as villains for thousands of years to suddenly be accepted as the good ones.

Although... now that she thought about it, she had once heard that beastkins were not always seen that way, but that was a long time ago, and there didn’t seem to be any records explaining why.

Well, she would try to dig deeper into that later.

"I know this is hard to talk about," Primrose said, turning to Edmund, "but we don’t have much time. There’s something more important we need to figure out, such as how we can prove that there are beast prisoners inside this palace."

Not long ago, Edmund had already ordered Callen to bring Cecilia and Evelia’s family from Noctvaris. He had even signed a royal decree himself, so their family wouldn’t mistake Callen for a fraud.

But the problem was... even if the Moretz family arrived in Azmeria, they still couldn’t open a case legally if they couldn’t prove that Evelia was inside the palace.

If they said they had entered the west wing by accident, it would cause trouble for three sides.

Primrose’s mind-reading ability might be exposed. Edmund would be suspected of trying to frame the King of Azmeria, especially since he had already caused the Count of Veloria to take his own life. And Lord Keirwyn would likely be punished by Averon for failing to create a secure lock.

No... there would be too many bad possibilities if they used that reason to explain how they found the prisoners in the west wing.

They needed another reason.
