The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 256 Leading The Army In Person

Ethan's POV:

"But in my opinion, Prince Richard actually looks quite healthy. Has he been sexually active for a long time?" Fitch analyzed with a frown.

I coughed awkwardly and said, "Maybe."

Richard did like to play with she-wolves ever since he became an adult. Of course, he was always smart enough to keep a low profile whenever he would do so and would sneak out of the imperial palace. Suddenly, I heard the sound of rustling clothes at the door and my alerts were put back on high.

"Who's there?"

No one answered.

I exchanged a glance with Fitch, stood up, and walked out.

"Who's there?"

I then caught sight of Richard, who was standing behind the wall. My heart became filled with anger.

"Richard! What are you doing here? What did you hear?"

Waving his hands, Richard looked aggrieved and said, "Father, I was wronged. I just got here and happened to hear you say that I had no child." "Why were you walking so quietly? That is not like a valiant man at all," I scolded him.

Richard had always been a sissy since he was a child. No son of mine should act like that. I had spent a lot of time and energy just to correct him. I even sent him to the military school at an earlier age, but he learned nothing but how to curse.

"I will look into it next time." Richard lowered his head. "But I wasn't eavesdropping. Please trust me, Father." Seeing that his apology seemed sincere, I felt a little ashamed. Maybe I was a little too harsh just now.

"Forget it. It's not your fault. Come in." I took a look at him and then went back to the room.

Richard was wearing a dazzling red cloak. Paired with his rather feminine appearance and tall figure, he looked a bit like a disproportionate Little Red Riding Hood with big muscles. "Father, Lucy is pregnant with my child."

As I was about to sip water from my cup, I heard Richard's words and spat it out. Hurrying forward, Richard patted me on the back. "Are you okay, Father?"

I coughed for a while, wiping my mouth after. "What did you just say? Say it again."

"Lucy is pregnant with my child, but I haven't reported it yet," Richard repeated himself.

I felt overjoyed. "Well, why didn't you tell me such an important thing sooner?"

"The doctor just found it out. I came to tell you as soon as I knew it," Richard explained.

"Where is Lucy, then? We must bring her here to make sure she's always well rested. You and Lucy must also plan the wedding ahead of schedule." I smiled.

After many years, the royal family was finally going to have a new addition, my grandchild. This was very important to me.

"Lucy is currently resting at the royal manor in the suburbs," Richard replied.

Before I could ask anything more, Fitch chimed in, "Oh, I heard that Prince Rufus was last seen heading to the manor."

Astonished, I exclaimed, "Stop him right now! Dispatch some troops! We must protect Lucy and the baby!"

"Yes, sir!" Fitch immediately took the order.

"Wait!" I stood up. "I'll come along too, just to be safe."
