154 Leland Moves His Family To The Capital

Sophie blinked at Leland and frowned a little. She knew that the Village Head and the villagers truly didn't let Sophie look at her parents because of the way that they were found in the forest. 

"Do you really think that they would be so gruesome about killing?" she asked.

"These people are ruthless assassins that are employed by the royal family," Leland explained. "Once they hear of the verdict about your parents, these people will not bat an eye in ending them. I am sorry, but humans can also be quite cruel."

Sophie squeezed her arm and smiled sadly as countless memories flashed in her mind on the word cruelty. Aunt Helga, Lucia, and Valencia were at the forefront of her memory. 

"I know that, Leland. I will not defend my people or say that humans are saints or angels. They can also be ruthless as you said… but the idea that we lycans will reign over them? It still doesn't sit well with me."
