Chapter 50 The Lycan King's Question

　　Talon's POV

　　"Your Majesty, I am unaware of the source of this news, but someone appears to have ulterior motives. My loyalty to you is as evident as the sun and the moon; such accusations are nothing but a jest."

　　Tryndamere's words quicken my heartbeat. If I reveal myself at a time like this, death seems to be the only consequence. I'm beginning to regret not heeding Bard's advice.

　　"Oh? Is that so?"

　　Tryndamere nodded subtly, then turned his gaze toward a dark corner. In a silent approach, a figure in a wide cloak emerged.

　　"It's been a while, Alpha Talon."

　　The man slowly discarded his cloak, revealing a grotesque visage—none other than Alpha Shaco, who had nearly taken my life on several occasions before.

　　Alpha Shaco's presence signaled that escaping the palace wouldn't be so straightforward today.

　　"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to encounter you here, Alpha Shaco. You're still looking good."
