The Mind-Reading Mate: Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me? Chapter 292: Just One Favor

Besides that, how did that person know everything about Primrose? Had they perford so kind of ritual to find a compatible vessel? Or had they been watching her long before she was even aware of it?

The thought sent an uncomfortable chill down her spine.

Now she wondered ... was that person close to her?

"Maybe ... maybe my ability didn’t co from that third possibility. Maybe it really is a blessing from the heavens," said Primrose.

Leofric shook his head. "Where you got that power from doesn’t matter, Your Majesty. Even if you inherited that ability through your bloodline, the heavens would still believe you must go through a heavenly trial."

Primrose’s shoulders sank. She suddenly felt hopeless, thinking she might die just as quickly as she had in her past life.

What if one day, while she was simply taking a walk with Edmund, lightning struck her dead on the spot, leaving her husband standing there, holding her lifeless body?

The image made her stomach twist. She could almost see the look on Edmund’s face, the way his hands would shake, the way his voice would break when he called her na ... and she hated it.

Damn it! She needed to erase that image from her head right now!

Just as she was teetering on the edge of despair, Leofric suddenly said, "But ... there is sothing I have that could keep the heavens from sensing the mind-control ability in your body."

Primrose stopped pacing and imdiately strode toward Leofric, her eyes locked on him. "What is it? Tell ."

"Relax, Your Majesty." Leofric leaned back slightly, putting a bit of space between them. "I’m not going anywhere."

Primrose let out a heavy sigh and suddenly realized that sothing as valuable as what he was talking about could never co for nothing.

Leofric might be Edmund’s one and only close friend, and sure, they seed to have a good relationship. However, friendship ant nothing when it ca to sothing as rare and dangerous as this.

Her eyes narrowed. "Alright, Leofric ... what do you want in return?"

Leofric gasped, looking shocked, but Primrose could clearly tell it was nothing more than cheap acting. "Your Majesty, how could you think I’m that kind of lowly person? I have served this kingdom for years. Of course, I’d be willing to do anything for my Queen."

Primrose stared at him with a flat expression. "Then I’m not giving you any—"

"Alright, if you insist," Leofric cut in smoothly, a small smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. "I will ask for one thing in return."

Primrose narrowed her eyes. "What is it?"

"I want you to use your mind-control on soone," he said.

Primrose didn’t react for a few monts, too stunned to respond. She hadn’t even fully mastered her ability yet, and now Leofric was suddenly asking her to use it.

"On ... who?" she asked hesitantly.

Leofric was still smiling as he looked at her, but there was sothing strange in his eyes. He didn’t look happy at all, in fact, there was a flicker of sadness he seed to be trying to hide behind that smile.

"My sister."

Primrose’s eyes widened. "Y-you want to use my mind-control ability on your sister?"

She hadn’t even known Leofric had a sister.

Was his sister soone who had made him suffer in the past, and now he wanted revenge on her?

Primrose had used her ability to kill a few n before, but that was because she had been on the brink of death, and all of those n had done sothing unforgivable to her.

But Leofric’s sister? That was entirely different.

Primrose had never t her, never even heard of her before. Even if she wanted to help Leofric get rid of so evil sister, Primrose wasn’t sure she could bring herself to kill soone who had nothing to do with her at all.

More than that, wasn’t his request basically the sa as using her as a weapon?

She knew this would happen eventually, but she didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

"Yes," Leofric finally said. "I want you to use your mind-control ability on my sister. Just one ti, that’s all."

Primrose swallowed hard. "I ... I don’t think I can kill soone without a reason."

Leofric chuckled. "Oh, don’t worry. I’m not asking you to lead my sister to her death. Well, technically it might seem that way, but the words you’ll say to her won’t contain any malice at all."

Primrose tilted her head, feeling even more lost about where this conversation was heading.

What kind of harmless words could she say to soone ... that would still sohow lead to their death?

She wanted to know what he was thinking, but unfortunately, she couldn’t break through the magical barrier in his mind.

"What ... exactly do you want to do?" Primrose finally asked.

Leofric took a deep breath. His smile softened slightly as he spoke in an unusually gentle tone. "I want you to make her believe that... she is healthy."

"What?" Primrose blinked at him, unsure if she had heard correctly. "You ... want to make her believe she’s healthy? That’s it?"

"That’s it," Leofric confird, his voice calm but laced with sothing heavy. "She’s been ill for years. The healers have done everything they can, but nothing works anymore. Lately, she’s ... given up and started thinking the world is nothing but darkness."

"This request ... isn’t ant to make her believe she can survive longer." Leofric lowered his head, his smile finally disappearing completely from his face. "I just ... want her to think she’s healthy, so maybe ... we can have fun one last ti before her body withers away forever."

Primrose’s lips parted, but no words ca out.

She had expected Leofric to ask for sothing selfish, maybe even cruel, yet here he was, asking for sothing that sounded so heartbreakingly human.

For a brief mont, she saw no trace of the sly, sharp-tongued man who constantly teased her. Instead, she saw an older brother who was desperate to give his sister one last mory without pain, without fear, without the shadow of death looming over her.

Her throat tightened. "Leofric ..." she murmured, unsure of what else to say.

He raised his head, his usual smirk nowhere to be found. "If you can do that for , Your Majesty ... then I’ll give you what you need to hide your power from the heavens."
