Chapter 202 You are a monster Part3
Sylvia stood in front of Melissa's quarters as if she was standing in front of a lion's den.
"Damn it." She fidgeted with her fingers. She was getting a headache, just thinking about the drama this was going to stir up but she knew that she needed to do this.
She knocked on the huge golden doors and waited for the guards to show up. A few seconds later, a maid showed up instead.
Was this because all the guards were currently busy dealing with the patriarch? Sylvia's brows knitted together in worry. Nevertheless, she calmly enquired the maid about her so-called sister.
"I need to speak with her highness. Is she available to see me?"
The maid nodded and bowed politely, before walking back into the huge doors. After a couple more seconds, she once again came out and gracefully opened the door for Sylvia.
"Please come in, your highness. Her highness is available to see you and is waiting for you."
The maid showed Sylvia to a waiting room as if she was an outsider and a few minutes later, Melissa walked out leisurely. "You are here?" The woman asked, without as much as a greeting.
However, Sylvia did not care about these things right now. She just needed a few answers and she wasn't looking for anything else.
"What did you mean by it was my fault that grandfather... I mean the patriarch is in this state?"
"Heh. That's why you came to pay me a visit, my dear sister?"
Sylvia nodded.
She had already framed her words in a way that would be pleasant to the woman who was obviously out for her blood, so she didn't know what else she could do at this point?
She could only hope that the woman would just give up the details on her own.
And of course, just like she had expected, the woman was more than willing to tell her everything. She did all but draw a map out for Sylvia.
"There is a place far north, deep into the demonic kingdoms, that is rumored to house a treasure. No one knows what it is but a diviner divined its presence and pinpointed the location."
"Grandfather went there to get the treasure for you and was ambushed by a demonic clan army."
"You know about the demonic clans right? Humans are not our only enemies."
"If it wasn't for the fact that grandpa was urgently looking for the treasure for your sake, he would have never gone there alone."
"And now he is in this condition. Perhaps only that treasure can save him now?"
"Hmmm... Truly such a pity."
"He risked his life for someone like you..."
"Hmmm... You don't even care, right? I am sure you would never do something like visiting the place yourself and getting that treasure!"
"But still he risked his life for someone like you..."
"Hmm... truly a pity..."
Melissa sighed a few more times, after which Sylvia decided to get up and leave.
It looked like she had gotten all the details that she was going to get out of her and staying here any longer was simply pointless.
"Alright, I will take my leave now, your highness." She smiled and left the quarters.
Melissa as well smiled back, though she continued smiling all the way until she saw Sylvia's figure disappear into the long corridor. "Heh. Are you going to take the bait or not?"
Sylvia could almost hear her thoughts as the woman didn't exactly hide her motive but unfortunately, she knew that this time she was going to give her the satisfaction of successfully trapping her.
Even though she knew that it was dangerous, she was already resolved to go there. However, she wasn't foolish enough to do so without the proper preparations.
She knew that she first needed to verify this information, along with the patriarch's health. She didn't want to go deep into the enemy's territory if the old patriarch wasn't hurt badly.
There was a possibility that Melissa was exaggerating, but she had a feeling that that was not the case.
Sylvia returned back to the palace and clapped her hands. "Evie, can you bring me one of the royal physicians?"
"Ah, your highness, everyone seems to be a bit busy right now." Evie apologetically answered.
"That's fine. Just see if anyone is available. If not, do not bother others." Sylvia nodded.
The maid quickly ran out and unexpectedly she returned back with a chubby young man. "Your highness, Lord Meja is here."
"Huh? So soon?" Sylvia raised her brows in surprise. She, in fact, hadn't expected to see anyone at least for a couple of days.
"Your highness." The young man bowed and greeted Sylvia and when she nodded, he sat down in front of her. "You wanted to see me?"
Sylvia didn't know why but the physician seemed to be a bit flushed as if he was bothered. She didn't think too much about it and just chalked it up to the man being extremely busy.
"Can you tell me about the old patriarch's injuries? Is there really no cure available?"
Meja looked surprised. He was specifically told that the Princess was not to be informed about this particular matter, but she already knew everything and was even questioning him?
He paused for a moment and was about to answer her, when another figure walked into Sylvia's chamber, casually strolling in from the garden.
"Am I interrupting something?" Roman's cold voice sounded.
Sylvia frowned as she had not expected him here. Not that she wasn't happy to see a friend, but she had a feeling that the man might not let her get her way, especially in this situation.
"You seem to be always strolling in my garden, my Lord." She answered curtly. "Please forgive me, but I am not able to receive you at this moment."
She directly started to pack him up and send him out immediately. However, the lycan lord didn't seem to have heard her and simply stared at her in shock.
"You are a monster..." He muttered, with an astonished expression on his face.
