Leland's And Sophie's Conversation

Leland looked up at Sophie and smiled. However, because of the hideous wound on his face, his smile looked contorted. This made Sophie feel so sad. She touched his cheek with tears forming in her eyes.

"Who did you get into a fight with?" she asked him earnestly. She could recognize claw marks on his body when she applied the ointment earlier, along with severe bite marks.

It seemed hard to believe that the Royal Lycan Hunter's weapons would look similar to Lycan's claws and fangs.

"The royal lycan hunters have a lycan with them," Leland said casually. "He was quite formidable and we got into an intense fight for hours. But I am fine, as you can see."

Sophie clenched her fists to the sides and her body started to tremble. Did Leland mean... Nicholas?

The only lycan she could imagine would work together with the Royal Lycan Hunter was someone from the royal family himself. He was the king.
