Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate-Chapter 309 Coup

[Margaret’s perspective]

Lillian seemed quite dissatisfied with Henry’s remarks at the time, snorting with sarcasm as she added, "Hmph! Her? Margaret, perfect? Henry, you really are funny!"

As Lillian spoke, she loosened her grip on the pistol, her eyes and brows full of impatience.

I watched her interaction with Henry, and all my suspicions were powerfully confirmed—they had indeed been in contact before!

And today’s events were very likely orchestrated by Henry behind the scenes for Lillian, as to the ultimate goal of Prince Henry, I still couldn’t guess at the moment.

If I could figure out and understand these things, Donald naturally wouldn’t have missed them. He had been silent since earlier, and I knew he needed time to accept the situation at hand, his cousin—Henry, was not as friendly and guileless as he had previously seemed!

"Shut your mouth, idiot!"

A harsh rebuke snapped me back from my wandering thoughts, and I focused my gaze on Henry and Lillian across from me.

Henry looked at Lillian with a cold expression, his eyes full of disdain and speechlessness, "Do you think acting this way makes you seem smarter? If it weren’t for Licia valuing you, do you think I would stoop to collaborate with you, an utterly foolish woman? Lured into revealing your ’aces’ just by a few words, can’t you be a bit smarter?"

After scolding Lillian, Henry slowly turned back to look at David, who was still kneeling on the ground, chuckled coldly, and continued, "I really didn’t expect you could survive and come back alive, let alone expose the elaborate scheme I have been designing for so long in front of Donald and Margaret!"

"But no matter, I’m a very generous person by nature. As for some people who are about to die, I can afford to be a bit kinder, don’t you think so, my dear brother!"

Faced with Henry’s continuous provocations and tests, Donald finally couldn’t hold back any longer, his gun’s muzzle ice-cold as he aimed at the other, and asked through clenched teeth, "Why are you like this too? I never thought you would betray me..."

"Hahaha! Is that strange, my dear brother? You’re just used to staying in the honey pot, unaware of how cruel the world truly is!"

Henry didn’t let Donald finish his words, interrupted abruptly, and burst into crazy laughter, like a true madman, "I’m fed up with the humiliation of being oppressed by you for so many years, you wet-behind-the-ears kid, why should you take over this vast kingdom right away? My father and I should be the masters of this country, Alex is just a ’thief’, he’s the one who stole everything!"

"Shut up! I won’t allow you to insult my father like that!"

Donald roared and was about to shoot Henry, and I felt a surge of immense danger in my heart, my body reacting almost faster than my brain, as I grabbed Donald by the neck and narrowly dodged the oncoming bullet!

’Bang bang bang!’ These were the sounds of bullets being fired in rapid succession.

"No! No, don’t!" This was Licia’s cry of alarm and attempt to stop it.

"Yes! That’s it, kill him! Whoever kills Donald, I will appoint as my chief minister, hahaha!" This was Henry’s maniacal roar.

After dodging the bullets, I didn’t hesitate, pulling Donald behind another pillar for cover. David and Louis almost simultaneously returned fire, and bullets poured down in the hall like raindrops, with sounds of bloodshed and cries of pain rising.

I quickly peeked out and saw that our side was suffering heavy casualties, while Henry was safely pushed back by the Rebels who descended like deities!

Looking at the situation at the moment, Donald and I could well understand that all this was a rebellion and assassination meticulously planned by Henry.

’He has been biding his time by Donald’s side for so many years, all for the sake of this moment, I suppose!’

I thought to myself, casually pulling out the pistol I had hidden in my dress earlier, tearing the overly bulky and heavy hem in two or three pulls, turning back to look at Donald’s face, I softly said, "Although that damn priest didn’t get to ask me, I still want to say, I do too."

Willing to spend this romantic yet perilous life together!

Seemingly not expecting me to say that, Donald’s expression stalled for a moment, then he smiled incredibly tenderly, "You are just too adorable, my dear, thank you!"

I smiled and averted my gaze, tightening my grip on the gun, "Don’t be scared, baby, I will protect you and always be with you!"

In the backdrop of a barrage of gunfire, Donald leaned down to kiss my eyes, love spilling from his stunningly beautiful eyes, seemingly about to submerge me completely.

"I will definitely give you a complete and romantic wedding, trust me. But first, we need to drive away this bunch of treacherous Rebels." Donald said.

I nodded, signaling that I understood, "What should we do next? The number of Henry’s Rebels is unclear, and relying solely on Royal City’s Lycan defenses seems insufficient to counter them, and we don’t know the whereabouts of Christian and Mark at the moment, it seems we can only rely on ourselves now!"
