The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 531

Chapter 531: Fear Doesn’t Fade That Easily

The news of King Averon’s disappearance spread quickly across Azmeria, and soon, the entire Vellmoria Empire knew about it. Since that day, the palace had been in chaos. Officials rushed back and forth through the halls, barely getting any rest as they tried to handle the urgent situation.

Edmund had already sent his envoy to Zerath Vi Vellmoria. Not long after, the Emperor responded by sending several important figures—an Imperial Inspector, a High-Ranking General, and an Imperial Envoy—to Azmeria to investigate what had happened.

"Your Majesty, this kind of crime requires a very long investigation since it involves important parties—"

Edmund suddenly stopped walking. He turned his head toward the Imperial Inspector, Varn, his gaze sharp and cold. "Fifteen," he said in a low voice.

"Averon has abducted, harassed, and tortured fifteen of my people. And seventeen young women from your kind. All of them are important to their families, their friends, and should be protected by their constitution."

"That’s why, Sir Varn, do your job quickly, because Averon isn’t as important as his victims," Edmund emphasized every word that left his lips, making Varn swallow hard and not even dare to look into the Lycan King’s eyes for too long. "Do you understand?"

Varn swallowed hard. He forced himself to nod. "I will do my best, Your Majesty."

"Good." Edmund’s voice remained calm, but firm. "And tell your General to make sure no soldiers or maids who have been to the west wing escape."

Varn nodded once more. "Understood, Your Majesty."

He then immediately turned around to carry out the Lycan King’s orders, while Edmund continued walking through the entire palace to make sure that Averon wasn’t hiding more prisoners inside his palace.

Outside the palace, Primrose was busy taking care of the rescued women.

She handed out warm clothes and cups of hot chocolate, making sure each of them was comfortable. Doctors were also present, ready to check their condition.

"Are you still cold?" Primrose asked gently as she approached one of the beastwomen, who had small hamster ears on her head.

She gave her another cup of hot chocolate with a soft smile. "Here, drink a little more. It will help warm your body. Or would you prefer something else?"

The woman lowered her head slightly as she accepted the cup. "N-No..." she said softly. "Thank you, Your... Majesty."

Primrose smiled at her. "It’s alright." Then she added gently, "If you’re feeling better, would you like the doctors to check on you? I promise they won’t hurt you. They’ll examine you in a private room, so you don’t have to worry."

The hamster beastwoman didn’t say anything for a moment and only sipped the hot chocolate in silence. But her thoughts were uneasy. [Why do they want to check my body so much?]

[Will I be sent to a new master after this?]

[I don’t want that.]

[I don’t want anyone to touch me...]

[Even if they are women... what if they’re only pretending to be women?]
