[Donald’s Perspective]
"Ruth? Indeed, if I rember correctly, Your Highness had indeed asked her to contact Christian and you when she left the manor, but that was around 10 o’clock, wasn’t it? Are you sure you didn’t get the ti wrong?" Mark seed to think that the ti Eric ntioned was not quite right and asked directly.
However, I noticed an even more important point, I sat up straight and looked at Mark, saying, "Are you stating that Margaret had already tried to contact imdiately? Then why hasn’t Christian received any news at all? Where is Ruth now?"
"What did you say? The captain didn’t receive the call from Ruth? That’s impossible, I distinctly heard the Lycan Queen instruct her!" Upon hearing this, Mark asked back loudly, his eyes full of confusion about the matter.
I didn’t imdiately answer his question but instead, Christian, who had been standing by, defended himself, "I didn’t receive any ssage from Ruth, even the sudden attack on the manor was reported to by the manor’s guard, Lycan!"
He then turned his head towards , thought for a mont, and continued, "Your Majesty, if neither Mark nor Eric are lying, then there’s only one possibility left."
I knew what Christian ant by ’possibility,’ but I sowhat didn’t want to believe it, and I remained silent for a while without speaking.
Eric then directly looked at , his hands gripping tightly on the arms of his wheelchair, veins bulging, he said coldly, "It’s Ruth, she’s the one ddling in the middle!"
Suddenly hearing Eric’s conclusion, everyone in the room turned their heads towards him, their expressions changing, as if they had heard sothing astonishing.
"Isn’t this Ruth just Margaret’s maid? How could she... how could she ruthlessly betray Margaret like this?" Gino spoke with so confusion, his speech slowing down as if he found this conclusion sowhat cruel.
"I didn’t misrember the ti, and Mark didn’t mishear the Lycan Queen’s orders back then! It’s Ruth, she’s the traitor who leaked our whereabouts to the enemy." Eric snorted coldly, and a crimson red flashed in his eyes.
He widened his eyes slightly as he looked at , without any pause, he continued, "Your Highness had already foreseen these issues before the accident occurred. She ntioned back then that there was a mole among us, and unfortunately, I didn’t realize at first that she was referring to Ruth! Your Majesty, it was my oversight, please punish !"
After listening to Eric’s analysis, I didn’t show any surprise; I had already guessed as much beforehand.
I just looked at him sowhat helplessly, pressed my temples, and said in a deep voice, "Is this the ti for you all to apologize and ask for punishnt? I just want to know one thing, where is Ruth now? Has anyone been paying attention to her whereabouts?"
As I said the last sentence, I almost gritted my teeth, spitting out every word, at this mont, I no longer cared about a re maid’s betrayal, I just wanted to know where this traitor was.
Ruth had co out of the Silver Moon Pack with Margaret and saying that she was one of Margaret’s most trusted people wasn’t an overstatent. Margaret treated her so well, I don’t understand why she would betray Margaret!
Just like I previously couldn’t understand why Austin would betray .
I glanced at the expressions on my Lycan’s faces, and finally, my gaze returned to Eric, if I were correct in my guess, he was the last person to have seen Ruth.
Seemingly intimidated by my gaze, Eric swallowed and then replied, "Your Majesty, Ruth had retreated together with the other Lycans from the manor, she should be here now."
"Hmm, so where is she? Go bring her to !" I said, roaring out loud, the coldness in my eyes as if it could freeze soone to death.
Upon hearing my command, a Lycan at the door dashed out, with Christian following closely behind.
At this mont, Gino stood up and looked at , saying outright, "Only now reacting to capture soone, could Ruth have already run away?"
The answer to Gino was silence because I didn’t know the answer to this question either; the room was extrely quiet for a ti, as if even a dropping pin could be heard.
To Gino’s surprise, Ruth had not run away in advance; she even showed no surprise or astonishnt on her face when several Lycans escorted her in, not even fear or dread!
I narrowed my eyes dangerously at her, remaining silent for quite so ti before speaking, "If you still have a shred of conscience, then tell who set up tonight’s sche, or maybe say who was behind that incredibly strong monster?"
"Margaret can’t withstand any strain or exertion now, you’re well aware of that. And this is the only chance I’m giving you, I hope you appreciate it. Don’t waste my ti and effort."
Ruth had no reaction after I finished speaking the first part, standing there like a wooden stake, hollow and unfeeling.
But as I ntioned Margaret, slight fluctuations appeared on her face, and then she knelt down, covering her face and crying bitterly!
