Chapter 74 Confronting The King

• When I was called to speak with King Darwin, I knew the moment had finally come. I had faced wolves and warriors, fought through blood and betrayal, but none of those challenges felt as daunting as the one ahead. This confrontation was a long time coming, a final attempt to find some semblance of peace before everything descended into inevitable chaos.
• As I walked through the opulent halls of the palace, each step echoing in the silence, memories of my mother, Princess Anita, flashed through my mind. Her kindness, her strength, and, most vividly, the vision she had given me in my dream—the horrifying truth of what had really happened to her. My mother’s face, her final moments with King Darwin, felt as real now as if she were walking beside me. It wasn’t just my mother’s life or my lineage I was fighting for. It was justice. It was a future where Red Lycans would no longer be hunted or persecuted.
• Two guards opened the doors to King Darwin’s private study, and there he was, seated behind a massive desk carved from dark wood. He looked up, his eyes narrowing as he took me in. The air in the room was thick, almost suffocating, and yet I forced myself to stand tall, meeting his gaze with as much confidence as I could muster.
