Louis's POV
"The king's decree?"
I forcefully suppressed the nameless anger rising from within as I kept a vigilant gaze on Garfield standing proudly below the stage.
"Do you know that forging the king's decree is an act of treason, Evans?"
However, despite my warning, I couldn't discern any fear or hesitation in Garfield's dark eyes.
"Of course, I do, Your Highness. I believe the king entrusted it to me because he values my loyalty to the royal family."
"Loyalty? What a loyalty."
Watching Evans utter these nonsense words, I let out a cold chuckle. The innate aura of the Lycan helped me quickly stabilize my mind, and my eyes scanned the nobles in the ballroom. They wore various expressions, but none dared to step forward and directly challenge Evans.
Very well. I narrowed my eyes.
