Chapter 0013

“Oh, stop it already! As if I’d waste any breath explaining myself to you! You don’t even deserve to know who I am,” Fae shot back, standing confidently with her hands on her hips. “Scream all your want, you ugly bi tch! No one here will help you!”

Unable to hide her childish streak, Fae stuck out her tongue and made. a face at Margot. Perhaps she wanted to rile up the woman even more, saying, “Here, let me give you a second chance. If you get on your knees and lick my shoes, I’ll make sure to tell the guards not to do anything to you! They won’t even kick you out either. Hmph! No need to thank me.”

Her tone was so smug and childish that I nearly laughed out loud. No. one could beat Fae in situations like this.

“Alright, that’s enough,” I finally interjected, gently placing a hand on Fae’s shoulder and taking her hand with my other. “We shouldn’t let someone like her get our spirits down. I say we make our way inside.

now.”

Seeing as I was so unfazed, Margot began digging her hands into her scalp. After debating whether or not she was going to rip out her hair in frustration, she chose not to and bounded toward me.

If not for the personal guard my brother had assigned me, she would have surely laid her hands on me again. Instead, she was halted much sooner, well out of arm’s reach. Seeing as she couldn’t even use me as an outlet for her anger anymore, her face twisted horribly.

“You st upid guard! You should be arresting her! She’s a thief! I even have a witness! Flora, come here!” she shrieked, turning to motion to Flora with a trembling hand.

Uncertain of what to do, Flora stayed silent and stood stiffly, not

wanting to join in. She turned around to look at the crowd that had formed, all of whom were staring at us with great scrutiny.

Realizing the terrible circumstances Margot had brought upon the two of them, Flora gently tugged at her skirt. In a meek voice, she urged, “Margot, let’s go.”

“There’s nothing to be afraid of! She’s guilty, not us!” Margot growled loudly, swatting Flora’s hand away. She stood confidently once more, acting like the queen she surely thought she was. It was as if Margot had stolen Flora’s confidence to call her own, as Flora was practically withering away under everyone’s gazes.

I had a good idea of what Margot was trying to achieve, and I was happy to play along.

“Margot, wait. I agree. Please report this matter to the Lycan King,” I said calmly.

Margot stopped her incessant protests in shock, certainly never imagining that I would side with her. “What did you say?”

“You see, I received this necklace as a gift, and I have someone who can prove it as well. I wouldn’t be afraid to stand in court over this. But Flora,” I turned my gaze to her, “this necklace of yours… What happened to it? You didn’t lose it, did you? Perhaps it fell somewhere or you misplaced it. Or perhaps… you sold it.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Flora’s eyes went wide once more. Her expression was paralyzed in guilt and fear, and her posture was

so stiff that she would have crumbled if someone were to have

touched her. She looked at me incredulously and her hands began to

tremble.

Her weird reaction was so obvious that she even managed to arouse Margot’s suspicions.

“No, I… I didn’t…” Her eyes shifted from side to side for a moment

before she suddenly tensed up and pounced at me while screaming” You’re framing me! I will kill you!”

She rushed towards my neck I took a step back in horror as her fingers caught my necklace. With a single swift movement, she tore off my necklace, breaking the thread and sending gems sc attering to the ground. That large sapphire that shined like the summer sea now lay at my feet.

“What the f uck!” I yelled. This was the necklace that Jackson had given me, now ruined by Flora’s hand.

Flora sta ggered backward as if not expecting the necklace would break.

This is an important gift! Give me back my necklace!” I was so sad to see my broken necklace, but she just stared at me in a daze, “Y-you lied! Who would give such an expensive necklace to an omega !”

“I gave it to her. Is there something you’d like to say? I heard a familiar voice say from behind me. At once, the guards present bowed their heads and saluted the man walking toward us.
