I spent the entire day watering the flowers and plants in the garden without bothering about what was happening outside.
Just then, my subordinate came to report the situation in the city. I dusted off the mud from my hands and legs and stood up.
“So, how is it going?” I sat at the garden table, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip.
“Those two have enraged the crowd. People have attacked them on the street. They were conducting an online survey, but only a few were willing to cooperate. They had to go door-to-door but it clearly didn’t end well.” My subordinate reported what Flora and Warren were up to.
I snorted. “I knew it. They are just a bunch of naive children. They think this world is full of kindness and beauty. It’s time to teach them a good lesson.”
People living comfortable, extravagant lives inside the wall would never give up their luxury and happiness for insignificant people outside the wall. Being in power for all these years enabled me to understand the nature of the werewolves inside and outside the wall.
Moreover, outsiders like Rufus were oblivious to the significance of the enormous wall to the local werewolves.
They would never be able to push over the wall.
It was simply impossible.
I sat cross-legged on the chair and inquired about Rufus.
The subordinate hesitated for a moment. After taking a deep breath, he said, “Prince Rufus has locked himself in his room all day. Do you think something is wrong?”
“Nope. Nothing is wrong. That’s exactly what I wanted.”
I wasn’t surprised in the least.
Although I had been at the border all these years, I had been secretly watching the imperial capital city and appointed spies all over the place.
The werewolves in the imperial capital were all greedy. I had used almost all the wealth I had got from the vampires to bribe them and improve connections to pave way for the future.
I couldn’t stay at the border at all times. I wanted to rise above everyone and gain supremacy.
Therefore, I paid special attention to the two candidates who had the chance to take the throne.
Although Prince Richard was smart, I knew he wasn’t smart enough to achieve much, let alone be the king. Prince Rufus, on the other hand, was a resourceful and capable lycan. He was the most eligible candidate to inherit the throne.
If Prince Rufus inherited the throne, it would be difficult to play tricks under his nose. He wouldn’t tolerate any injustice. I would never be able to rise to supremacy.
Things were complicated, so I had to find another way.
But later, an informant told me that Prince Rufus disappeared every full moon night. At first, I thought it was a coincidence. However, I accidentally got in touch with Noreen, a black witch, and found out the royal family’s secret.
I was surprised to know that Prince Rufus, the strongest male lycan in the empire, was under the black witch’s curse.
The piece of information was a godsend.
Besides, Noreen also told me that Rufus would go berserk every full moon night. After calming down, he would get weak and exhausted. Rufus would lose all his strength and wouldn’t be able to fight back.
I chose to bet with Rufus because we were approaching the full moon day. By then, Rufus would lose all his strength and power. He wouldn’t have the energy to care about all these things.
Fighting his subordinates was a piece of cake for me, so I didn’t worry about them.
If they refused to cooperate with me, I would kill them all.
Geoffrey’s POV
Ever since Rufus and the others entered the city, I had sent my men to secretly keep an eye on them the entire time.
They simply couldn’t hide anything from me.
I knew Rufus had sent his men out of the city, and the remaining squad was looking after Flora and Warren.
Rufus was alone and defenseless now.
I glanced at my subordinate. “Is Prince Rufus’s residence surrounded?”
“We’ve sent the secret guards to surround him.” He nodded respectfully. “If anything unusual happens to Prince Rufus, we’ll know it right away.”
“Well, send some of our men to keep an eye on the wall. And don’t let anyone go outside.” I was still worried.
Tonight was the full moon night. I didn’t want anything to go wrong.
Everything would be fine if Rufus agreed with me and my plans.
However, considering he was adamant, I had no choice but to get rid of him if he refused me.
“What if Prince Rufus dies at the border? I’m afraid the lycan king would blame you.” My subordinate looked worried.
“Blame it on the vampires. I’m sure Hobson wouldn’t mind.”
I was more afraid of Rufus than the lycan king. Getting rid of Rufus would solve all my problems.
Besides, the imperial capital city was far away from here. I could find a scapegoat who would take all the blame.
“You’re awesome! It was smart of you to bring Hobson under your control.” He grinned proudly.
Playing with the empty cup, I squinted at him. “I’m actually surprised that old man has managed to hold on for so long.”
“He is no different from a dead man. There’s no need to be afraid of him.” The subordinate smiled complacently. “Victory is yours.”
I snorted, feeling a little aggrieved. “But he is still alive. As long as Hobson is still alive, I can’t rest assured. I really believed the black death curse could have killed him.”
“Even though Hobson is still alive, I don’t think he’d be able to make big trouble,” my subordinate said.
“You’re right.” I put down the glass and sighed.
All this should be attributed to the black witch, Noreen. She had cast the black death curse upon Hobson. Otherwise, Hobson, who had always been self-conceited and looked down upon werewolves, would never have agreed to cooperate with me.
