The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527: Unfounded Or Exposed? (II)

"Will you also kill yourself to escape from your crime?"

Averon stared at Primrose in disbelief. Her tone was calm and flat, but the look in her eyes made it feel like she wanted him dead right then and there.

He swallowed hard before answering, "W-Why would I do that?! I’m not guilty at all, so I have no reason to run!"

A small smile appeared on Primrose’s lips. "I see," she said softly. "You sound so sure that I almost want to believe you... but..."

Her gaze shifted toward the corridor in the west wing. "There’s no harm in checking."

Without another word, Edmund pulled Averon aside and led the way into the west wing. Unlike yesterday, the doors were no longer locked, but every time Edmund opened one, the room inside was empty.

"See?" Averon said quickly. "Like I told you, these rooms are under renovation. No one is staying here." He let out a light scoff. "That woman must have come from somewhere else orr maybe she was brought in from outside to stir trouble between us. After all, our political relationship has never been completely stable."

[I’m not even sure the Emperor sent Primrose to Noctvaris as a symbol of peace.]

Averon thought with confidence. [She’s probably just a tool. If the Lycan King kills his human wife, the Emperor will use that as a reason to start a war with the beastkins.]

[And if she runs away, he can use her as a scapegoat for the conflict between humans and beasts too.]

Primrose quietly gritted her teeth as she heard Averon’s thoughts.

No, she wasn’t upset just because she was being used for something so cruel—well, yes, that annoyed her too—but more because the Emperor looked down on Edmund so much.

To think like that... It meant he saw Edmund as nothing more than a creature driven by rage, someone who would kill humans without thinking the moment a problem appeared.

Yes, Edmund could be cruel, but if he ever did something like that, there would always be a strong reason because Edmund wasn’t a monster, so he wouldn’t bite unless he was pushed too far.

"The only one who will destroy our political relationship... is you," Edmund said at last.

He didn’t even look at Averon, because the King of Azmeria was too disgusting to look at.

"How funny." Averon shook his head, looking clearly disappointed by Edmund’s words. "You couldn’t find any evidence here, and yet you still believe I committed a crime. Your Majesty, are you sure you’re not just trying to find faults in me?"

[He can look all he wants, but as long as he doesn’t find the path to the hidden room...] Averon laughed to himself. [He’ll leave this place empty-handed.]

[He’ll never find the escape route anyway. The door is built into the wall, so it’s not easy to notice.]

When Averon glanced at the wooden panel near the bottom of the wall, Primrose quietly followed his gaze.

Without wasting any time, she leaned closer to Edmund and whispered, "The wooden panel."

[This is why women shouldn’t be allowed to speak so freely.] 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
