I gulped and said with difficulty, “So, Joanna killed that blonde werewolf because she was jealous?”
“That’s right.” Samuel nodded.
Killing someone because she was jealous of another woman was scary.
Although the rule of the human world was lacking among werewolves, there was one thing that most people agreed on – the strong could not bully the weak.
This was to ensure the most basic fairness.
When two werewolves fought for a mate, they could fight to kill each other, and when two Alphas disputed over territory, they could use any means to resolve the dispute. However, a royal Lycan could not kill a werewolf for no reason, and a werewolf could not kill a human for no reason.
If they must act, there must be a reasonable reason, like what Michael did to Robert. Robert wanted to abduct and mark me, and I was Michael’s mate, so Michael had the right to punish Robert in any way.
But Joanna’s reasoning was unreasonable. It was pure jealousy and personal enmity, which was considered evil.
“When I found Joanna, the girl was already beyond help, but Joanna was still slowly dismembering her body. The other party’s blood spilled all over the ground, dyeing the ground red. Various parts were scattered on the ground...” Samuel was still talking.
“Enough,” I interrupted Samuel in disgust.
The scene he described made me want to vomit. I felt like the breakfast I ate was surging in my stomach. I hoped that I would never see such a terrible scene in my life.
Recalling when I was in Michael’s house with Joanna, I was extremely glad I made Michael leave with me. If I stayed there again, who knew if I would be the next one to be killed?
I supported myself against the tree and slowed down for a while. Samuel looked at me silently. After I pulled myself out of the terrifying scene that I imagined, I slowly said, “Does Michael know about this?”
Samuel shook his head. “I haven’t told anyone about this.”
I looked at him in surprise. Samuel was also upset about this. An innocent girl had been brutally murdered before him, but he remained silent about it.
“Why?” I pressed.
“This is not part of my job,” Samuel said.
“So you’re going to turn a blind eye to Joanna’s crime?” I questioned.
A crime had happened. Samuel had witnessed everything but let the criminal get away with it. I felt sorry for the girl I didn’t know. Although she had tried to seduce my mate, it was a very easy thing to do.
I believed that Michael would have similar encounters everywhere and that Joanna, the executioner, was still enjoying the support of many people, traveling anywhere in the world as she pleased. She also tried to steal my mate.
“I’m not a judge. After this incident, I decided that Joanna was not suitable to be Michael’s future princess. That’s my job. I’m only responsible for deciding what happens next, not judging them,” Samuel said.
“But she killed an innocent!” I shouted at Samuel.
“Yes, she did. So what?” Samuel asked back.
I felt that I couldn’t communicate with him.
Samuel also looked at me in confusion. “Cecily, if I saw your crime, I wouldn’t tell anyone about it. I would decide you are not suitable to be a princess.”
“Do you think I care about such things?” I shouted.
“If you want to be with Michael, I suggest you care about my opinion because my opinion will directly affect the outcome,” Samuel said calmly.
“That’s not what I’m talking about, and I’m not going to kill anyone,” I retorted.
“You’d better not do that. Although I said confidence is a good quality for a princess, what’s more important is kindness and benevolence. The royal family’s Lycan King won’t allow a she-wolf who has killed people to become Michael’s future wife,” Samuel said.
I made myself calm down like Samuel. From Samuel’s point of view, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with me. Michael had said that the Lycan King sent Samuel to be by his side, so it was just a job for Samuel. He didn’t need to do anything out of his job scope.
And even if Samuel did expose what Joanna had done, would it work? I knew Joanna’s ability to disguise herself. She would pretend that nothing had happened the next day and still act as the gentle and sensible girl in everyone’s eyes.
Joanna was a first-rate actress. If I hadn’t been in the werewolf-to-royal Lycan phase in the first place, if I hadn’t been so sensitive then, if my wolf hadn’t kept reminding me about my mate connection, I’d probably have been fooled by Joanna, too.
