Selma Payne’s POV:

“Yes, Your Highness, I was going to leave. However, one of my uncles died of illness. According to tradition, someone must guard his new grave for a year. The Lycan King was kind enough to grant me this small request. I don’t like the boring life in the countryside, so I won this spot. Although guarding the grave isn’t a good job, I can stay in the bustling city for a while.”

1 didn’t know that my father actually left people from the Evaria Family to guard his tomb. But this was not an important detail. Since my father agreed, every measure must be taken to prevent any tricks.

1 nodded. I was satisfied with the answer to the first question.

Sisley gulped and continued, “The second question, that wandering woman. To be honest, that’s all I know, Your Highness. I don’t have any other clues. I thought that night would solve the mystery, but the fact is that 1 have more questions and am now in prison. I have no intention of complaining.”

“So, Julie’s remnant soul had already existed before you were born, and there are no rumors about her identity in your family?”

“Some of them are nothing more than speculations, Your Highness. They’re just rumors created by the servants when they’re bored. There’s no basis for them at all.”

“You’ve investigated it?”

“Yes, I’ve investigated those rumors, but Julie is not a mistress or anyone significant. There is no record of her in the Evaria Family.”

I’d believe him for the time being. It didn’t matter even if he had some tricks up his sleeves. Master Kevin was working with the other werewolf grandmasters to merge the two halves of Julie’s soul. It was not too difficult, but it was a little troublesome. It would take a few days before there was a result. When Julie regained consciousness, all her doubts would be solved.

After saying that, Sisley didn’t say anything else. He lowered his head and sat there, secretly observing me from the corner of his eye. Seeing that 1 was still silent, he gradually began to feel uneasy, as if he was reflecting on the details that he had missed out on.

“Is there anything else you’d like to know? I will tell you everything I know,” he said tentatively.

He looked smug. I didn’t know if he was really stupid or just pretending, so I gave him a hint.

“Before you went to prison, the doctor did a routine examination for you.” I lifted my chin, and an attendant silently appeared from the shadows. He placed a thin stack of medical reports on the table. “You’re quite healthy. There’s no illness or anything bad.”

I observed her expression and tried to find any suspicions.

Of course, I didn’t just want to check if the prisoner was polluting the healthy environment of the entire prison. More importantly, 1 wanted to take the opportunity to do a blood test between him and Sunflower.

If Sisley knew of the existence of young Sunflower, he could guess what I was doing behind my back and understand that it would be impossible to play any tricks on the bloodline without any precautions.

I only needed some abnormality, such as a contracted pupil or twitching facial nerves, and I could judge whether he knew.

But the results were disappointing. There was nothing wrong with Sisley. He just symbolically looked at the report and expressed his gratitude to the doctor. There was nothing to criticize. It was as if he knew nothing about his family’s experiment and was just a branch family who was implicated by a minority.

But was that really the case?

Sisley must be the descendant of that illegitimate child. From the fact that he was infertile, there was a high chance that he was also a product of technology.

Did he really not know his background? Did he not know the real purpose of the family using living people for experiments?

The only thing I couldn’t trust him on was this.

“What will you do after guarding the new tomb this year?” 1 asked. “There’s no reason for you to continue staying. You’ll have to go to the countryside sooner or later.”

“Of course, I want to stay, Your Highness,” said Ashley with a bitter smile. “I’m not afraid of being laughed at, but I’m just an ignorant and incompetent rich kid. I’m used to the life of a Lycan in a Lycan pack. The countryside is more boring than prison to me. 1 think I might fight for the role of the gravedigger of my family’s grave. The old gravedigger has already moved away with my family. If His Majesty is willing to give him mercy, the Evaria Family’s grave still needs someone to clean up the weeds.”

“Is guarding the tomb much better than living in the countryside?”

“At least I can still see the city and have something to consider.”

It looked like he wanted to stay, but whether it was for the city’s prosperity or some other reason, it remained to be seen.

There was also his meeting with Casti. To be honest, I didn’t believe a single word he said. I was more inclined to believe there was some sort of master-subordinate relationship between them. Casti and Sisley were best friends. In reality, Sisley had only secretly infiltrated this silly and sweet brain of his to deepen this fake friendship artificially.

I even suspected that Cash’s mental state was related to this.

However, there was no need to ask about this, as I wouldn’t get anything out of it. I’d achieved some of my goals for this trip, so there was no point in imprisoning him. After all, one had to release the rabbit to follow it to its nest..
