The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 36

Sylvia's POV:

Richard walked slowly over to where Rufus and I stood. Once he got close enough, I realized that he was half a head shorter than Rufus.

"If I remember correctly, father was the one who put me in charge of the military school. Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to waltz in and demand admission like you run the place?" Richard's voice dripped with sarcasm.

Rufus chuckled. "Since when were you so interested in what I did?"

His eyes fell sharply on Richard. The atmosphere had quickly gone tense.

Richard laughed softly and squinted. "Oh, Rufus. Why so serious? You can't blame me for being curious now. It's rare to see you doing so much for a single she-wolf!"

Richard put on that gloomy smile. The dean and Richard's subordinates smiled along with him.

Richard noticed that Rufus wasn't going to respond to him, so he wiped the smile off of his face and turned serious. "Yes, of course Prince Rufus is qualified to recommend a student! However, it doesn't seem fair for all the other students who have worked hard to get through the difficult selection process, does it? I'm afraid that when this news gets out, it would cause a public uproar."

My heart sank. It was obvious that Richard was trying to sow discord in public. And because I had already made enemies of some students from this school, it was easy to find people to back this argument. They didn't want me in their school.

Sure enough, those who had just been quietly watching aside began to chime in.
