Selma Payne’s POV:

It had been a long time since I returned to the land of the Lycan pack. My state of mind had completely changed this time. The anxiety that was there all the time no longer bothered me. 1 would no longer wake up in the middle of the night or shiver for no reason.

Aldrich tried his best to be by my side. Even if he didn’t do anything and just stayed by my side, it would still be able to cure my nervous system.

1 didn’t have much time to rest. After playing with my children for half a day, I came to the secret prison and met the young man from the Evaria Family.

Sisley Evaria.

The first time 1 saw him, 1 felt that he looked familiar. He didn’t look like any of the Evaria Family members I’d met, and he didn’t have the signature golden -brown curly hair of the Evaria Family. I looked at him carefully for a few seconds. His tall nose bridge reminded me of the oil paintings of my ancestors hanging in the corridor.

1 sighed in my heart. Even though I was prepared for this, facing the illegitimate child’s descendant was still hard.

The secret prison didn’t mistreat him under my instructions, but I was sure the environment in prison wasn’t that comfortable. But it didn’t seem to affect him at all. He looked well-dressed and composed as he stood and gave me a standard bow.

“Greetings, Your Highness. Forgive me for my rudeness, but 1 don’t have any more conditions to take care of myself.”

1 sat down and looked at him coldly. “I hope this isn’t irony.”

“Why do you think so? 1 admire you from the bottom of my heart,” he said, pretending not to understand my underlying meaning.

1 gestured for him to sit down. “Time for nonsense is over. Now, tell me what you want to say to save your life. You know what 1 mean, so you shouldn’t think about playing your little tricks. You can’t easily confuse anyone here. For your safety, I don’t recommend you do that.”

With a wry smile, he shook his head helplessly. “Since I’m already here, I no longer have the will to resist, Your Highness. I’m not so overconfident that I think 1 can go against the will of a country. My only humble request is for you to believe me. 1 do not need to lie to you, whether it’s for my life or any other reason.”

I didn’t say anything.

The silence was a form of forgiveness. Sisley quietly heaved a sigh of relief. 1 didn’t have to ask him anything before he began to explain.

“The first thing is about that night’s meeting with Casti. I’m very sorry to have offended that gentleman, but I swear it was just an instinct to masturbate. The moment he appeared, 1 felt threatened, so I subconsciously did it.”

Seeing my gaze becoming increasingly unfriendly, he immediately clarified, “I swear I’ll keep my mouth shut about everything I’ve discovered. I’ve never mentioned it to anyone, not even to Casti. Even when 1 appeared in the temple that night, I was only curious about the whereabouts of that wandering woman. My only goal is to solve the mystery of the spirit, 1 have no other thoughts.”

“So, what do you have to say about what you saw?” I asked, “About the temple, the ghosts, or the people immune to your control?”

“I will immediately forget everything. This is not something I should know. I understand. I swear I will never reveal anything to anyone,” he said. “Otherwise, Moon Goddess, please banish my soul forever. Or you can erase my memory, Your Highness. I will not have any complaints if you use the sorcery of the werewolf grandmasters.”

1 found that Sisley was a very interesting person. On the surface, he didn’t look haughty or humble, and he maintained a noble’s reserved and arrogant attitude.

However, regarding his safety, he did not put on airs like most nobles, trying to use his worthless identity to prove that he was not under any jurisdiction.

On the contrary, he was like some of the young people I had seen when 1 was still a little girl in a small town who came out early to support their families. He was cunning and tactful. When it was time to show weakness, he would never harden his knees and be willing to use everything in exchange for something beneficial to him.

His attitude toward me was even a little ‘humble’, but I had to admit that I was quite satisfied with his tactfulness. It was hard to tell if his words were true or false. If he was true to his appearance, then he was really an uneducated and incompetent hedonistic son.

If he were pretending, I hoped not, it’d be good for both of us, especially for Sisley.

I silently looked at him for a while, making him feel uneasy.

“You haven’t told me why you want to see Casti,” I said after a while.

As if he had been pardoned, he immediately explained the reason and the situation, “I was about to leave with my family, Your Highness. 1 probably wouldn’t have the chance to return after I left, so I only wanted to meet with Casti to bid farewell to my good friend. As for why it’s late at night… 1 have to avoid suspicion. The Woof Anca Family has cut off their friendship with the Evaria family, so I can’t visit them openly, so I can only do this.”

“But you still left the Lycan pack behind. You didn’t leave with your family as you claimed..”
